Now we know what they look like what's your favourite?

I like the Williams and am a little disappointed that it looks like we are going to have to play spot the McLaren/Toro Rosso/Renault with similar very dark colour schemes. Williams, Ferrari and Sauber have the right idea IMO, stand out from the crowd a bit more. Hopefully Renault will go with a more predominantly yellow colour scheme come Australia.

I'm a fan of the RedBull. Think it looks really good. Not a fan of the Mclaren or their strange team wear

Williams gets my vote as it did last year and the year before. Red Bull and Ferrari look OK the rest are frankly dull or appalling.

I agree there is too much black.

As an aside
Is it strange that Toro Rosso have not shown up with their paint in place, are they waiting for a major sponsor? I would have thought they would be similar position to RB

I like the McLaren this year. But their team-wear is hideous, like a crash in the letratone factory.

Very disappointed with the livery on the Manor.

Bit of a shame the Williams is virtually indistinguishable from last years livery.

I'm wondering if it's either to give the main RB livery more attention?

Force India. I just think it looks like a potentially good design, it looks 'right'. If we're referring to just colours then Renault. At least they're properly black, and no gold to ruin it this year either.

Worst is the Haas, it just looks 1 or 2 years behind. Plus it doesn't help that paint-wise it bears more than a little resemblence to a Marussia/Manor.

I'm wondering/hoping that they're going to be mainly red this year.

Camera, probably looking at the front wing.

ETA: Only for testing.

Good.

The Williams livery is best on the grid by a country mile.

Don't change what ain't broken

Disregarding livery the Torro Rosso is a beautifully sleek design.

I don't disagree with you. Just think it would have been nice to see different stripey patterns this year.

By far I think the Mercs are nicest this season.

F1 has become a style free zone.

Only Williams has any semblance of style and that is because of Martini.

The most depressing team in terms of image / style / a sense of "fun", is McLaren. They are no longer tied to a need to have colours to support West or Mercedes. They can be any colour they choose. They COULD have embraced their heritage and gone for ORANGE. Or they could have gone WHITE with red, in honour of Honda. But they bottled it.

This dull, dull, dull image is the work of Ron, surely? My imaginary sponsorship millions would be very, very, very disappointed.

Honda like black, they often test in black.


BAR 005


BAR 006


RA107

Though they have just as often been white. There's no guarantee the testing paintjob is the final paintjob anyway. Maybe they'll paint a big Jupiter on the car or something equally random for Melbourne.
I don't expect Red Bull to keep the matt-look either.

I would put money on RB and McLaren turning up with roughly the same overall livery in Australia. The matt and the black aren't going anyway.

All F1 cars have looked rubbish since 1968 with the arrival of the twin evils of adverts and aerodynamic devices.

For those of you too young to remember, this is what an F1 car looks like.
