Not sure I can bring myself to support Red Bull this season, despite the Tag Heuer deal. I'm hoping that McLaren starts becoming competitive again.

Agree- McLaren is still my favourite team, but given Webber and then Ricciardo, Red Bull have been my second team for a long time

Not the best sign for things to come:

That's the Renault of Palmer clutching its chest before farting out blue smoke and dying a painful death 🙁

Better now than at the Australian Grand Prix but I hope they sort that out before it happens to a TAG Heuer powered Red Bull. Especially Danny Ric's.

wow, that sounded AWFUL

I too have a problem with RBR as a team....not sure I can get past their petulance. Though I really do like Ricciardo. Skills and personality. what's not to like? besides maybe his employer

Toro Rosso, Red Bull’s junior effort and The-Team-Formerly-Known-As-Minardi in testing without any branding.

The TR looks decent enough, I'm really hoping come Melbourne we see a more inspired livery from Renault, probably too much to ask given it was linked to Mild Sevens but the Alonso era light blue / yellow in my mind is still Renault's nicest colours.

McLaren also have recently posted a sort of teaser on Instagram that hints at a possible rocket red / white scheme... and Honda have teased a livery change on Twitter, whether that would actually happen or not is another story entirely though.

Its a real shame that so many of the best motorsport liveries ever made were Tobacco liveries, even the Lotus gold/black JPS that was in use until last year.

McLaren / Honda / Land of Rising Sun / Red&White?
It's not too great a stretch to think it could happen.

Ricciardo and Kvyat will be seeing a lot of the rear end of the Toro Rosso as Ferrari power takes it off into the distance.
