I don't know why but I prefer the car with the red flow viz on it.
I must be a certified half-wit.
So do I. I was even about to suggest to make it the actual livery but then I remembered who leads the organisation.

Hadn't noticed the red on the wing til now. Really sets the whole thing off from that angle...nice.

^^^ thats flowviz.
I was referring to the rear wing. I think maybe they have the bottom element painted red (or that could be flo-vis too, but it looks so uniform) so you don't see it all the time.
If that IS flo-vis on the rear wing and not paint, they really should consider painting it red imho.

The livery looked great even before the flowviz.
In my opinion, the flow viz alone should make the car .2s faster.

I'm starting to think the blood covered car is the best livery out there by far. Even the cylon eye totally makes sense now. The car looks evil.

When McLaren tried to convince Alonso to join, they simply had to show him a render of this.

Why are they still wearing white racing suits? Seems kinda cheap that they haven't aligned the team colors...

Honestly, I hate the extra red curved stripe on the nose. It's the first F1 car I've seen that looks like a joke photoshop was made for real, it actually makes me feel a bit disorientated looking at it.
But if it takes McLaren back to the front next year, all will be forgiven.

Yeah. We've (mostly) stopped whining about the color of the car but come on! There's still some whining to be done, so let's now whine about the color of their racing pyjamas!

Has Button changed his helmet design to accommodate, wasn't it mostly blue before?
FIA and there rules. 
Edit:
Just checked he hasn't, ignore me

I think the fact that the addition of some flow viz paint improves it heaps shows how bad they got it wrong.

You guys all like the red flow vis because it makes it look more like a Ferrari. Admit it.

It actually reminds me of this
I'm trying to give this new livery a chance, in all honesty it does look better on TV. The red stripe around the middle of the nose is growing on me, but I don't like the swooshes on top of the sidepods.
