Aaaand they still have stub noses...

The new Sauber is actually quite a pretty livery, if very light on sponsors. Massive stupid sharkfin though.  

If McLaren go mostly orange as expected it'll be quite a colourful grid for once. 

Also, I can't help but wonder why they've made the cars wider only to also make them bloody longer as well - that's just "bigger", surely? From the 3/4 angle they look the same proportions as last year's.

Also fingers crossed for the rumours Toro Rosso will finally get a new livery as well. I'd so love to see them in a light blue "Red Bull Diet" colour scheme.

Merc seem to be pretending they're apple, lots of social media teasing building up to the big reveal tomorrow.

The Sauber looks like a toy. I like the Renault one - the Williams looks awful. Not their fault - Martini could update their logo/livery.

I don't understand why the Williams livery is so dull. Martini has had some of the most iconic liveries in other motorsports.

I like the Williams, it's white with a stripe.
It will look better in the daylight too.

New Force India looks godawful. I hope it's quick...

I think the Sauber and Renault will look better. The Williams is a little anodyne ..

The new Mercedes is fabulous.

The Merc looks mean in a good way. But Lewis is right - it's a tricking boat! I do wish they'd made them shorter this year as well as wider.

ORANGE!!! 

Those front wing mounts and rear wing endplates...

The Ferrari looks clunky. Not loving the McLaren but the Ferrari is pretty lousy. Force India looks good apart from the nose step. 

Aesthetically Mercedes and Sauber for me.

No, like this! I loves me some Lancia 037.

I thought that on first glance but the Ferrari thread on F1technical suggests there's actually some very clever stuff going on. 

My main hope is that there are two teams with a legitimate shout at the title. High hopes for the RB launch (tomorrow, I think?). It's hard to theirs won't be the best aero package.

+1 for the 037!!
