Asked about his team's "new livery" for Barcelona, a McLaren-Honda spokesman's response leaves us little wiser.
Speaking earlier this year, Ron Dennis admitted that whilst there would be a change to the livery adorning the MP4-30 at some stage it would not be a radical overhaul. That, he said would only happen for "sound commercial reasons", namely the securing of a new title sponsors.
Contacted by Pitpass, a McLaren-Honda spokesman, gave us an insight as to what the "new livery", due to be unveiled this weekend, might involve.
"We have revised our car's livery, improving its visual impact, optimising it for not only bright sunshine but also for the floodlights increasingly used in twilight and night races," said the spokesman.
"The result is a dynamic, predatory, graphite-grey colouration, complemented by McLaren-dayglo 'Speedmarks' and keylines, reducing the reflection issues caused by our latest chrome-silver treatment."
So now you know.
