Given that it is the comrades car, would there be some red ?

For some reason I was thinking they would run with unlucky green

I bet they get less coverage than any other team. in fact i bet (the opera House) that they would probally be the team of least interest to people on this spot. With one or two exceptions.
We need more russians in F1 comrades!!

MF1 did unveil their livery for 2006. You can find more details at this thread. Managing Director Colin Kolles called it "powerful and distinct from any other on the grid"

You decide!

Thanks Ed
I didnt spot that. So no green!
Too many multi coloured cars makes ID hard when watching the races I feel. Would be great if they had to all have one colour.
A few colours would be already decided. Ferrari red, williams blue ..

JV, why do I fear that the word "Macchavalian" doesnt mean much to you.?
Why do I suspect that you are possibly the most honest person I have never met?
Why is it that I suspect that "intrigue" is to you an ice-cream or chocolate or some such ?

I thought you were serious

Anyone who thinks Fisichella will get better treatment over the World Champ is just dreaming.
Alonso is the Wolrd Champ and will be for at least 2 more years

From what I could see of the new Renault it appears to have lost the Sharks gills feature on its new aero package. Shame. Liked that look.
In fact I took the scissors to my best coat and tried to create a similar look. Anyone know where I can pick up a cheap Coat??

Alonso will have some cheap team gear on the market at the end of the season

Ferrari will debut the 2006 car at Mugello on Jan 24

Thanks again Julian

The new Ferrari expected to be called the F2006 will be presented at Mugello on the 24th of January. The car will hit the track on the same day.

Unlike the past few years, Ferrari are launching the car at the circuit rather than at Maranello.

Looks like Ferrari are cutting costs

While at Renault they are launching at Monaco

I wonder who is struggling financially

It was cheaper to freight the cars to Monaco, than pay airline tickets for all the staff who live in Monaco
