I'm not sure that colour scheme works too well. From a camera distance it's going to look like Fisichella has puked out of his helmet onto the car.

A car that doesn't look right has never been a winner in my book. When I saw Williams had dumped the Rothmans colours for those awful Winfield colours in 1998 I said at the time I can never see a Winfield sponsored Williams winning a race. One never did.

I'm getting the same feelings here over this identifiably challenged corporate nightmare.

Race suits look a bit camp to say the least.



I think all the colours on the car clash WAY too much, and the sponsorship at the front looks too cramped up, as ING are title sponsor you can understand them wanting the main spaces, but it looks like 2 cars bolted together.

Those race suits do something that is akin to one of the worst public appearance faux pars, according to Jackie Stewart.

Even if the car was white all over it'd still be uglier than a very ugly thing with a special license to be ugly.

granted the car looks a mess, but only becuase the sponsor gets what they pay for! if all the sponsors corporate colours were blue it would be ok but as they differ its just a case of getting it all together and seeing what the end result is. you cant ask a sponsor to change "their" colours and if they can only afford to cover the nose cone say, the rest is up for grabs.... ferrari were very lucky recently as vodafone and marlboro are red. like wise Manchester Uniter and vodafone were both red, hardly coincidence?!?

Aaargh! My eyes! vomit

IMHO they would have been better sticking to the interim livery shown in the spy shots from testing.

With ING sponsoring it, whenever I look at the car it says to me "Fecking Renault". Now that can't be good

Forgetful Flav must have left his yellow shirt and orange trousers at home.

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).

Is it me, or does Flav look like he's hawking for a job as a Butlins entertainer?

Its absolutely disgusting. The colours dont match and its an absolute howler. theres no need to retain the blue/yellow colour scheme at the front and if i was ING id be very disappointed in the mess that i was sponsoring. Mclaren have pulled off differing colours well with their car - renault should be capable of the same.

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.


PS. ING should be sponsoring Spyker.
