Rumours the Merc W06 is doing a shakedown at Silverstone today, hopefully see a few snaps appear if true.

FI is the old car but with new sponsors etc
They are late revealing their car
The revised colour scheme, which was unveiled by Sergio Perez and Nico Hulkenberg at a special launch in Mexico City on Wednesday, was presented on an old car following the team’s decision to delay the introduction of the new VJM08 until the second pre-season test of the year.

Always find the side profiles interesting as it highlights the differences in the dimensions of the car - Williams, the wing is the front most thing but on the FI the stuck out nose goes out beyond the wing meaning it must be further back than the Williams

Fronts wings are far more intricate on the F1 cars. They're also a lot bigger as a whole, aren't they?

I know what GP2 cars look like I'm still not sure what makes the 2015 F1 cars look like them though, any more than previous years anyway.
Front wings are totally different, plus shark fins on the GP2 cars.

So FI are going to miss the first test, never a good sign that.
Rumours the new Sauber will be blue and yellow, imagine thats the to with the Banco do Brasil sponsorship that Felipe Nasr is bringing to the team
