These are official drafts of the Ferrari 2016 livery based on the 2015 car.

Good to see Renault have kept their PR guy/girl.

Not convinced on the Red Bull gear and livery, will have to wait until it's on track to find out.

That Merc start up video is extremely underwhelming.

so this year a pre-release of pictures before the official announcement seems to be the way to go. if i knew i would  just have to keep awake a single hour more to see the pics, i would have done so. instead i went to bed and thought i will see them only at the usual 1400 time.

 

but hey, mclaren has done it again. seems to be the most impressive car, nearly everything is new and they are only 2nd team after mercedes to implement a good looking short nose. (the ferrari on the other hand.... ) hope it's fast!

So far, there is very little in the way of change compared to last year's ranks. The key announcements are Haas, at 14:00 GMT, and the final Renault Sport livery. The Merc looks slick with those tiny sidepods, and the McLaren has ugly numbers on the front.

usually i am no fan of the backmarker teams and think their cars look like they perform but this one looks nice
