There are going to be at least 5 new teams- and possibly 6 if Renault are rebranded as Gordini, in French racing blue, as Joe Saward has speculated on his blog today. Also, could this be the new Mercedes livery? http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/80174 Can’t wait to see for the team launches next year, there should be more new liveries than there has been since the early 90’s.

Great to see F1 Colours is finally back. Some great liveries there. This is my top 5: 5. Team Lotus (1994) 4. Camel 3. World Wide Racing 2. Gold Leaf 1. British Racing Green I doubt that Lotus will use any of these colour schemes. I think they are more likely to use a sponsor's colour, like Air Asia or Petronas if they defect from Sauber (in which the case the car might be turquoise) Nice article!

And now it looks even worse than before! Reminds me more of an old Minardi with obscure sponsors and clashing colours than a championship challenger.

Renault should be back to black/yellow, there's three new teams coming on board, FANTASTIC!

But the only fun of the pre season is seeing each team launch their new cars- now it looks like it's all going to happen on the same day...

I expected them to run the same livery as in singapore, simply because they travelled directly from there to japan... But maybe for the last two races they will abolish the orange, as they already did on their clothes! At least they have new team clothing right now!
