liders get meticulously cleaned after every single flight and polished every few months (or when there's no thermals to pass the time on a Sunday afternoon)

The ones i flew were like a brick, no polishing would help.

2020 wide floor on the Haas, it is the new livery on 2020 car.

I think Haas were the one ream that called it like it is, a livery launch.

Yeah I think it was known beforehand that the HAAS was going to be the new livery on the old car.

I like all of them so far, ironic that for years everyone wanted an orange Mclaren, now we have one people moan it looks naff lol.

The McLaren looks great, especially on track. You certainly cant miss it. It gives a very strong brand identity.

Isn't just that it's indistinguishable from last year's - we want to see something fresh. But personally the 2019 car was the best of the orange liveries so far.

There really isn't a bad looking car among them this year.

Good liveries, but only good.

The basic fact that the cars are massive land whales, far too long and not pretty in the slightest means the cars themselves are all ugly.

They said in the video that they're hiding their new floor edge until testing, they think they've got something the others will want to do their versions of and hiding it now stops any copying.

I was literally about to ask why any of the teams would show their hand. Makes more sense to just do a livery reveal on the 2020 car.

Are you genuinely saying you cannot think of any reason he might have some feelings on the matter? personal? professional? sporting? historical? current politics? ethical?

Nobody is or has said, he does or does not, merely asking for use of imagination for discussion purposes.

I'm not going to help you out with this one.....

Not sure the German flag is any more ethical historically, politically or from a sporting point of view....

That's a lot of waffle to dig yourself out of a pointless comment

Apparently WADA are investigating the Haas livery.

Current one wasn't being used then though was it, it was a lot more red, with white and black.

It's pretty blatant.

I've just stumbled across this on the 8uto5p0rt Forum, "Apparently" this is the new Williams Livery.

I get why they'd be pissed off that there is essentially a Russian flag on the car... But as much as the design can be said to reflect the flag, it also legitimately reflects the teams sponsor, and I'm not sure what can be done about that. They can't stop all Russians from sponsoring F1 can they? And some Russians firms will feature the flags colours in their logos..

Are the WADA going to achieve anything here other drawing extra attention to the branding on the car..?
