McLaren will probably change livery when Vodafone leaves at the end of 2013. New rules, new sponsor and new era most likely.
As for that Marussia, it looks like it was designed in five minutes flat by someone on the back of a napkin. Just so bland. The Caterham looks like an F1 car, the Marussia looks like someone described what an F1 car looked like to the designer over the phone.

I think the McLaren livery is tired too. Would look good in white + rocket red w/small chrome accents.
Nah, been there done that. Would be nice to see a return of colors we've not seen in a while, Orange (FI is yuck so I discount it altogether), Yellow, Baby Blue (Mild Seven Renault - Splooge!!!), Purple, Gold. Having said that, McLaren would do a white scheme unlike that rather blah one of Brawn in 2009. The other thing I'd LOVE to see is a return of some vintage sponsors that are still involved heavily in many other disciplines of racing, STP, ELF, (both baby blue

), Repsol, Canon, Benetton, Mobil, Exxon, Penzoil, Gulf, Colas, and many more. The difficulty is getting all of them to commit so much money. But I think it would refresh the grid a bit. I can imagine Coca-Cola, followed swiftly by Pepsi and so on. That's how big tobacco got involved. One guy brought one brand as a sponsor and an advertising war ensued. The same thing can happen again but it will take one of the big boys bringing in a real heavyweight to open the floodgates once again for their competitors to try and get their brand plastered on other cars.
