Yeah that's what I'm talking about, the video description which mentions the red and white colors isn't written from McLaren.

The answer? "Umm, grey, similar to this year really. You know the old West livery? A bit like that. There was talk about bringing back the classic Red/White but that appears to have been dumped, not sure why" I'm paraphrasing, but I am the bearer of bad news for some when I say, don't expect a red/white MP4-30.

I've got a friend who works for Honda here in Brussels and he says the merchandising has the colours white and black with red accents. Meanwhile we have seen Alonso and Button wearing team shirts with only white and black. Still a clue on how the livery will be tbh.

i now think they won't go too far from last year's livery. the only reason they'd be changing it is because silver is very much a mercedes color. and there's some speculation in the press that merc would run with the chrome color from now on. so maybe it'll be grey/black or just black or gray. i don't think it'll be white cause williams is white. and i don't think they'd run a similar theme as in the 80's cause those colors and the design came from marlboro.

however, honda's motorsport colors currently are indeed red white and black. but i'd still rather see the car in complete black with white text. or grey like this Image
maybe it's like this for testing? who knows.

EDIT: well. i just saw this. https://twitter.com/McLarenF1/status/560719689446600704 looks like it's going to be white with red and black accents. hurray. :|

But could there be a catch to today's reveal? According to reports in Spain, the MP4-30 might be revealed in a black livery this morning and there could be a second pre-Australia launch when the team reveal their actual race livery for the new season.
