March 3, 20214 yr All in green would have been more pleasing to me. Love the Alpine as well, except for all the black on it.
March 3, 20214 yr Dang... that's.... similar. I bet Seb will be more competitive in this car than he was in the Ferrari, sadly. Anyway, glad to see all that pink go away. I'll be really interested to see what that green looks like in daylight.

March 3, 20214 yr That does look nice. I hope it's worthy of Fernando's return. I just hope it's a tighter championship this year. Damn near a decade of Merc dominance is so tiring. But I keep coming back. Let's go Max (or anyone else that can take it to Mercedes).

March 4, 20214 yr Well ... uh... ok... Nothing like draping yourself in the Russian National Flag I suppose.
March 4, 20214 yr Maybe they shoulda put the white in between the red and blue, then it woulda looked more 'Murica! It's pretty clean. I guess I like it better than the gray.
March 4, 20214 yr That Haas is looking pretty boring per usual. I see so many cool concept liveries on Instagram or Reddit that would look better than the basic shit some of these teams end up running. Looking at Haas and Williams post Martini in particular. I guess when you have no sponsors it's tough to come up with something interesting.

I guess when you have no sponsors it's tough to come up with something interesting. Yeah, some of the design guys on the internet do amazing liveries. I think Sean Bull was in on the Alpine livery, but for the most part, the people designing liveries in F1 (really it's the sponsors, mostly) just absolutely suck at it. Re: coming up with something without sponsors, I think it depends on the team's approach. Some teams, like Williams and Haas for example, just treat their car like a blank canvas for the sponsors. Others have a team brand identity that they want to consistently put out there, and then add sponsor logos on top of that (Ferrari, Red Bull, Merc, McLaren). Edited March 4, 20214 yr by wood
March 4, 20214 yr Author Here's an example of one Sean Bull take on an AM livery... On track today. The pink just ruins the whole thing.

March 4, 20214 yr The Aston and Merc are a lot less similar looking from the front. Different focal length and perspective here, but still. They’re similar concepts, but different executions.
March 5, 20214 yr The Williams ... huh... That's actually pretty slick. It will look pretty good fighting with Hass for dominance of last place in every race this year.
March 5, 20214 yr I can't decide whether I like it or hate it. It's certainly different, and ... probably... better than the last couple iterations?
March 5, 20214 yr Canon needs to figure out how to make a bunch of money selling stuff to people working at home so they can sponsor Williams again

March 5, 20214 yr The overhead shots make the wheelbase (and overall length) of F1 cars look crazy long.

March 8, 20214 yr I'm just going to say I think the Mercedes cars look fucking awful. They should be Silver Arrows. Silver.
March 8, 20214 yr WOW that Aston. IMO, Aston Martin is making the most beautiful cars on the planet right now. I'll always love Ferraris, but the current generation of Aston Martins is just gorgeous.
March 8, 20214 yr Author Interesting. What is Merc getting out of all of this? Seems almost like a prelude to Mercedes Benz acquiring the rest of Aston Martin, imho. Edited March 8, 20214 yr by wood

They were going to bring that back, sorta, but don’t have the money to do so. I don’t hate it because it can’t be compared to cars from today. It has to be compared to its contemporaries
