    Lotus putting the boot into McLaren on the day Boullier quits and is set to join McLaren.

    @Lotus_F1Team
    "Already tired of the #McLarenMP429 launch? Ok, best stay tuned as our #E22 is set to unveil its true colours soon..."

    ... then go and post their car at 12pm as well. Rascals.

    These new noses look fine from the side, but the front on view looks a bit dodgy on the McLaren, Interesting what Lotus have done.

    I'm quite surprised McLaren say their roster of sponsors is the envy of the pitlane and their finances are the best they have ever been when there is very little on the car!

    Interesting takes on the droop nose. Will be good to see FI from the front...

    Also the McLaren brings home how much smaller the rear wing is.

    If the Mclarens livery stays like that we are going to struggle to tell a distant Merc and Macca apart.

    Anyway I do like the look of the new McLaren. Very sleek.
    I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

    It's just an interim livery thankfully until all their sponsorships are nailed on and secure.

    Found this second image of the Lotus. Words fail me for that nose. According to @ScarbsF1, "the two tusks are unequal lengths, longer one forms the 9000mm2 tip, the other is also a crash strcuture, both act as Y250 flow conditioners"

    They're about 90% there in making the cars look great, I really like the dropped noses compared to last years cars. It's just a shame the FIA have yet again left a daft loophole in that results in the fugly points on the ends of the nose cone.
