Haas looks bad Findia looks bad McL looks quite bad (that fan one's far better) Renault looks ok Sauber looks quite good E: Ferrari best looking so far, of course Merc, I like their nose and barge boards, and while the T thing doesn't lool good, I love rules Machiavelli-ing so it gets a pass. They may still run a shark fin so I'm reserving judgement Did Williams and Toro Rossso officially unveil yet, or Red Bull? simplefish fucked around with this message at 02:57 on Feb 26, 2017 |

I don't remember it looking that arousing but then it was only ever shown while a silver ballet danced past it

So what I've learnt is that nearly nobody in F1 knows what the gently caress to do for graphical design when given a sharkfin. Not a fan of that Williams.

For how long has Red Bull been sponsored by Citrix? Can't imagine that helps reliability. https://twitter.com/redbullracing/status/835825077644115968

Of course Red Bull releases the most obnoxious video to barely show their car. I don't know how reliable this guy is but lol if this is true https://twitter.com/ChrisMedlandF1/status/835827865438552064 https://twitter.com/ChrisMedlandF1/status/835828595557806086

My hope now is that the RB13 turns out to be blisteringly fast but breaks down every single time it looks like a podium is a certainty.

The hole in the end of the nose is so that Max can get his Ribena cartons delivered during pitstops.

Quick reminder that Ron Dennis once turned down a £43m offer from Johnnie Walker to be McLaren's title sponsor.

A mere 43 million pounds? That wouldn't even pay for a two-tone paint scheme

10% sounds like too much engine variation; there's not exactly a standard way of defining BP they're going from.

Zak Brown: Double Down Remember what I said about design by committee? quote:"It is hard-on livery," he said when asked if the team could have done a better job. "It was ultimately a dozen people involved in the whole process. We went through tonnes and tonnes of liveries and you got lots of different opinion. The post modern music defense: "No its actually your fault you don't understand it and think its poo poo" quote:"For the die-hard McLaren fans, they will notice the arc at the back is the McLaren speed mark. Picking up on that, we think the orange stands out and is quite a bright orange. And then of course when you walk up on the car, you see the black is a different type of finish. Ahh yes, the arrival of the much anticipated MCL era. quote:We see change in management: companies change logos, companies change names, so I think it is natural progression that over time you hit reset button along the way, just like [with] the great Bruce McLaren, that team the torch was passed to the MP4 era. And now we have the MCL era. Dear Zak Brown: please gently caress off you pretentious cock.

quote:"For the die-hard McLaren fans, they will notice the arc at the back is the McLaren speed mark." This is the part that bugged me the most. Yes, I noticed the stupid swoosh logo. It still sucks, and it still looks ridiculous in concert with the shark fin.

That's what happens when you have a group of people provide input on a livery. You get some bullshit that looks like the new McLaren.

Wirth1000 posted:https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/new-mclaren-completes-first-run-at-barcelona-877272/ There's no angle at which it looks good. When the orange is in direct, harsh light it just looks like a Marussia. Every other time it looks like a Spyker or an Arrows. Just paint the whole thing orange, you fucks.

I'm not sure the red stripes quite work but otherwise it's a massive improvement over the old one (or it is at least fresh air).
