Williams have managed to get their sponsors to change their colours over the last few years to fit in with their overall dark blue/white colours. eg. FedEx, Petrobras, Budweiser all changing their colouring to match. So to have McLaren and Ferrari to some extent with smaller sponsors. Either White text on red (Ferrari) or black text on Silver (McLaren).

FWIW I heard that it was BMW who insisted on this and it was only their brand "power" that made it worthwhile for the others to accept. I guess Williams may not have such success with that now!

Also having ING and the Lion three times in a very small space on the airbox, top of the sidepods and side of the sidepods makes it look very fussy.

Very true FWD but the renault has so many chimneys, funnels and whatnot that its not like in the good old days where the sidepod was a nice flat area. dunno how theyd get round it tbh.

The rear wing looks sort of OK - from the angle of the shots at least.

Other than that I assume there must be a special prize or two this hyear for 'Ugliest' corporate image in the paddock and 'Designs that hide all the aero protruberances to best effect'.

So which costs more Max? Engine development or Wind Tunnels.

I didn't know Renault had employed cowboys as drivers.

its just the orange that spoils it for me.
the yellow and white scheme evokes memories of the turbo era cars, esp the re20's-30
