Also Marca (take them with a grain of salt) claim Movistar, who just secured rights to TV broadcast of F1 in Spain, are also looking to Title sponsor a team like they are doing with MotoGP. http://www.marca.com/en/2014/10/10/en/m ... 59507.htmlhttp://imageshack.com/a/img537/4200/3pTJqa.jpg
That would be a great, fresh new paint scheme! 8)
Not sure it would suit Honda as Movistar is remembered well for it's alliance with Yamaha in Moto GP. Yamaha are Honda's MotoGP nemesis.

I am guessing that would have this colours the livery blue-white-red, just based on the flags on the partnership, japan red-white, great britain red-white-blue.

Also red would go well with santander if it is back, blue with telefonica-movistar if they sing defenetly, white for mobil 1 and red white for other japan sponsor on the way.

Could be a red towards orange but i am feeling the are going to play the remembrance game, the old days of greatness are back, so white-red with some blue and a bit of black around. That's my guess

Yes - it'll have sidepod mounted coanda exhausts, in a cunning reading of the rules.

there was simply too much "retro" talk about 90's Mclaren Honda red white talk from Alonso,from Mclaren and Honda so i expect at least in the first year a modernize version of that esspecially given the new Honda logo from a few days ago.

Nice, the second one is my fav for sure and imo the likeliest general style we will see imo.

Edit: the only major issues I see see the clash between shell and Mobil + I don't think telmex are a sponsor anymore.

ehm....what silhouette does that red represent? :wtf:

interesting tho, that seems like quite a dead give-away for indeed a retro livery....
