February 7, 20205 yr Keeping Grosjean means they really have no ambition beyond what they've done so far. Gunther might want to win but Gene must be happy to just participate.
February 9, 20205 yr Zandvoort’s final banked turn. They’re cutting it close with construction but should be done in time.
February 10, 20205 yr Saw that this morning. I hate the non-airbrushed Petronas teal, but this reply seems to indicate the actual car will have it. I hope so.

Yeah, the teal stripe is WAY too solid and clunky. I much prefer the subtle airbrushed look. Hopefully they work it in there. The red is ok, guess I'll get used to it.
February 12, 20205 yr Speaking of red... https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.vettel-and-leclerc-reveal-ferraris-2020-f1-car-the-sf1000.XQ64BRkNj4fo1jHG0V7on.html
February 12, 20205 yr Chinese GP postponed due to Coronavirus (probably not to be rescheduled) and Vietnam GP reportedly in doubt also. Other reports say it's unlikely to be rescheduled. https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.chinese-grand-prix-postponed-due-to-coronavirus-outbreak.3g2y5Ngyrk1MbNxQB9hj4s.html https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/feb/12/f1-chinese-gp-set-to-be-called-off-due-to-coronavirus-with-vietnam-race-at-risk
February 12, 20205 yr I'm not seeing those imgur photos above @wood, which team were they? Here's a tweet from RBR, livery looks basically the same to me I guess?
February 12, 20205 yr Author Gah. This board & imgur. It's Renault. Here's a link to the gallery. https://imgur.com/a/fMNjyxm Edited February 12, 20205 yr by wood
February 12, 20205 yr I wish they would turn that snout upside down and then go with a Toad from Mario Kart theme.

February 13, 20205 yr Author Welp, other than going matte, which I love, that's a step backward in terms of livery, imho. Looks huge, like the Mercs have been. Hope that's not where the similarities stop...
February 13, 20205 yr I am pretty ok with that Mclaren livery. The side shot vs the 3/4 front shot is interesting though. It looks nicely proportioned from the side and a Merc style boat from the 3/4 shot.
February 14, 20205 yr Well they kept the solid stripe. Don’t like it as much but it does look better here than on the livery reveal car. I do think most of the Mercedes changes are under the skin this year.
February 14, 20205 yr I guess I'm just one for nostalgia because I almost never think livery changes are improvements. And so far that's the case this year as well. I dislike the McLaren change the most.

February 14, 20205 yr Alfa's testing livery. Edited February 14, 20205 yr by Dutch User fail. Final livery isn't finalized yet.
February 14, 20205 yr i personally think mercedes is a slight improvement. ferrari took a step back. wtf with the tiger stripes. i really do not like mclaren's look. alpha tauri looks good, haas is meh, i think renault's is fucking sweet and the top improvement.

Yeah Ferrari just seems to miss it year after year, after having some amazing , clean liveries in the past. They don't even really seem to care. They have so many sponsors, the car is like a rolling billboard. Completely agree re: Renault. Just great imho. But I've heard conflicting reports that it may or may not be a testing livery as well. Shame if it turns out that way.

February 17, 20205 yr Williams doesn’t look half finished anymore. Probably not enough to be not-last, but we will see.
February 17, 20205 yr Alphatauri needs to lose the red paint for Honda. No way, that’s a classic look.
February 17, 20205 yr Author Drones are cool ... https://streamable.com/ou97v Edited February 17, 20205 yr by wood
February 17, 20205 yr Could be, but those big ones they having racing leagues for and the pilots control with VR headsets.
February 17, 20205 yr Mercedes solid teal stripe is terribad. Like, a 3rd grader on MS Paint bad. I like the Alphatauri-- a lot-- but I don't like it as much as STR's livery from the past couple of years. That was just beautiful. But I'm all for simple and clean and Alphatauri nailed that for sure. McLaren just continues to look bad. Maybe it's the sheer size of the new cars compared to vintage, but the papaya orange just doesn't work on these cars. And mixing it with the weird blue doesn't help. Looks much more indycar than F1 car IMO. Edited February 17, 20205 yr by utee94
