Andy - get that design off to the Sheik and to Big John!
It's a massive improvement. |

I see in Dutch eyes, Great Britain's team has been replaced by England

All the times from yesterday and today are on the MST website - here. They are in PDF format and you have to click on the title - bottom left-hand corner of the screen under Special Events. Sorry, I don't seem able to do a more direct link.

Great to see the series off and running and if the testing times are anything to go by the competition is quite close..... however as the f1 folk say.. "it's only testing"

Send us a PM with your email address if you like, I'll give you Johns e-mail you can send it on to him. But as I said, my designs were stopped before they saw them, the Sheik wanted full control over the design. Cheers. |

Same with just about everywhere else unfortunately...
At least the fact a non-Englishman (Manx) is driving the car gives no-one any excuses! [/politics] |

I'm with most people in thinking that the Brazilian livery is great! Although not as stunning as China, but at least it's quicker
And another I really like is the Dutch livery. At least that's one country sticking to their national racing colours, and I bet it'll really stand out in the crowd. Shame a lot of them only ran with black cars. But I suppose it keeps us guessing. Can't wait to see what Switzerland, USA, etc. look like |

Am I the only one surprised to see that Malaysia and Pakistan are quicker than Great Britain?

New Zealand should be green with silver stripe-which looked good when people like Howden Ganley & Bert Hawthorne used it in the 60s-70s.

Any idea why Australia was black in the test? It had a nice green and golden livery at Eastern Creek...

It's only testing! And the drivers of those two cars both have at least some British blood in them anyway |

A number of the cars were unpainted, having bare carbon fibre tubs. Probably because they were delivered to the teams very late.
The NZ car was painted and unlike cars fro USA, Aus, Malaysia etc |

The one at Eastern Creek has been in loads of country's liveries - it's been demoed all round the world. The one at Silverstone is Australia's own car. |

I reckon Brazil is ahead in the livery stakes at the moment.
They may have pulled off a smart move team-wise as well. In the photos I see Fredric Vasseur, the man behind ASM and ART. And they covered far more laps than anyone else. It wouldn't surprise me to see Piquet Jr in the car for Brands, because he was ace there in BF3 days and Kanaan has a prior commitment. Mind you, Pizzonia wasn't too shabby either. |
