Just found out that its a interim livery for pre season testing, a different livery design will appear in Melbourne. My guess is more yellow and a tiny bit of red for the Total sponsor perhaps.

If they add red to that I'm going to do a shit on their doorstep.

If Total is on board then there will be red, I'm guessing on the front wings and rear wing end plates and the mirrors. Thats what spoiled previous Lotus liveries.

One of the things I like about that livery is that all the sponsors at all in white. It's neat. It's clean.
When you get a car covered in multi-colour sponsors it just looks a mess.

Interesting news from Renault but nothing shocking given the fact they didn't even use the tokens allowed them this final regulated season. Wouldn't be surprised to see Honda with an entire new platform as well.

Hoping Renault can gain more on Merc but I think Merc are a long way from hitting the ceiling yet themselves in terms of their engine development as well.

Interesting developments over at Renault. Given the time to work on the 2017 car. Knowing that 2016 with the compromised PU switch to Renault engines from Mercedes and the advancements made this year in power gains with Red Bull, they could potentially surprise this year. What the tea leaves say about Frederic Vesseure leaving is unclear but this is a very logical explanation from their managing director. Other teams should take note of the explanations and its transparency.

There's more here than meets the eye. Power? Corporate control? Not sure, but this does feel quite a bit like Brawn's departure from Mercedes, especially after having brought Lewis in.

After seeing Cyrils words about the team "not needing a principal" and his justifications, I think Nico Hulky has jumped from a reasonably warm frying pan into scorching hot fire.

Cyril Abiteboul says that Jolyon Palmer "has to deliver" and start scoring points for the Enstone team on a regular basis. Renault warns Palmer he "has to deliver" soonI think Jolyon is pretty much toast as it is already, I think he could battle to see this year out if he keeps getting trounced by the Hulk. Think Sirotkin could be a little chance yet this year for his seat, or perhaps even a glimmer for Kubica to return, couldn't do much worst than Palmer despite not driving competitive F1 since 2010.

I think the Kubrick buzz is too strong, Palmer is out.

So the news is all over the place that Kubica is supposed to be sitting in for Palmer at a Friday test session in Monza. Whoa.

OH YES best news ever!! Moaner out, Kubica in? Great PR for Renault and they'd be getting rid of a liability.
