Red Bull Racing RB11

[dpl]

This is their striking new test livery!

[RGambo]

Looks like the funny camouflage they used to paint boats in during the war.

[The Hypno-Toad]

Interesting front wing, pushed very forward. Not sure if there is a regulation about its mounting in relation to the new nose shapes but if there is it must be pushing it right to the limit.

And is there some form of extra intake under the nose too?

[dpl]

There's the nose extension then underneath that, I think it might just be a shadow!

[The Hypno-Toad]

Yep, you're right. Looks like the disguise paint job fooled me.

[ajprice]

It would be great to see the cars race in that testing black and white look

[Mr_Thyroid]

Striking or stinking.

Nice to see something different but it'll look rubbish on telly

Testing camo but with coloured RB logos on top!

Looks like it was the one Vettel had in Monza.

Horner really needs to let go of Vettel! Strange to base a design on a driver who left you for the opposition.

Or he just like the idea of doing that paint job on the car? Who'd have thought it could be something as simple as that??

Nothing in F1 is 'simple' ...imo it's to stop/reduce '3D photo scanning' & that livery would be a nightmare ...we use it a fair bit & it's accurate enough even with a standard (or even iphone!) camera, with decent photography you could probably get within 1mm accuracy, certainly close enough for competing teams to copy & (sim) test in hours

[Daston]

Doesn't 'Mad' Mikes D1 RX7 have a similar paint scheme? He is also sponsored by redbull.

[MiniMan64]

Amazed no ones photoshopped on their normal livery by now.

So it's still not because they're clinging on to something small memory of a German then...

Mad Miles RX7 has an grey black and white urban camo scheme.

Other teams have been doing it. Trying to 'suck' air underneath the nose and force it onto tea tray splitter.
