Remember that Williams F1 Double Tusk front end? Well...

That the anteater nose, or the hook as its been called. Doesn't look great and it looks like it could do a great job of piercing into a car side one which surely isn't a good thing.

 

Overall the car looks pretty good though, will have to see what they all look like in the flesh next week.

Mclaren don't desperately need a title sponsor, they'll have money coming from Honda who could be their title sponsor next season. They also have many long term smaller backers such as Mobil 1, TAG Huer, Hugo Boss and money coming in from the McLaren Applied Technologies group. Williams have just managed to scrape by without since BMW left.

Probably a bit difficult to get a major sponsor to sign up for just one year - maybe something will be revealed in the next 35 days? http://www1.skysports.com/f1/news/12479/9127083/mclaren-will-not-announce-a-new-title-sponsor-when-their-2014-car-is-launched

It's been reported recently that the Woking team and Lotus are tussling for a major sponsorship deal, rumoured to be Sony Playstation.

But even if McLaren - whose sponsorship asking price is probably higher - fails to secure the deal, Germany's Auto Motor und Sport, says the team is financially secure.

That's because incoming works engine partner Honda is coming on board with a whopping EUR 100 million per year in financial backing.

That package includes free engines, EUR 50 million in cash and a 50 per cent contribution to the drivers' salaries.
"Apparently, the money will already be flowing this season," said Auto Motor und Sport.
