Man, wonder how McLaren are doing it without a major sponsor?
Their bank accounts can't be that large.

The more i look at it the more I dislike it. The red bits look like an afterthought, slapped onto last year's livery.

Ron/McLaren had this Epiphany that only worthy sponsors and their money were welcome at McLaren after Vodafone and Johnny Walker deals ended in 2013.

IIRC McLaren's chief marketing/sponsor guy was sacked or resigned start of last season.

I think I would have liked it better in the white of the original McLaren/Honda car.

This kind of makes me think Merc.

Right, I remember how cocky Ron got after the two-podium finish at the Australian GP last year. Sounded like he thought McLaren's stock went way up and that sponsors will be throwing themselves at his feet.




The race suits are so....blank. The teamwear looks more exciting!

Saw an article earlier today that Dennis has said the livery will change at some point this season, but no detail on what/when.

McLaren-Honda gear now available for order on the F1 Store.


The F1® Store | Team McLaren | Jenson Button | Kevin Magnussen | Order Your Official Merchandise and Become Part of the Team


Interesting, considering no title sponsor has signed yet...I bet they update their line if a sponsor does.

Super plain looking stuff.

Losing Boss to Mercedes was not good. Wasn't that the longest sponsorship agreement in F1 previously?

Ugh, more gremlins for McHonda. (Yeah, I know RBR had a hilariously bad time during pre-season testing too, last year).




Sounds more and more like Ron won't be signing (or able to find) any title sponsors this season. Guess what we see with the team gear is what we get. Hope the livery gets changed...Something like this fan-made concept sure would be nice:
