I quite like the new McLaren scheme with its nod to the Marlboro chevrons of old. I just can’t help thinking black and orange (sorry papaya) isn’t the most classiest of colours to go together.

At least they’re different I suppose.

Would be more interesting if the rule book mandated the cars had to have X amount of kilos of paint applied to XX% of the car body surfaces so we don’t have a grid of cars all looking the same.

Oh well..., I really like black and orange together. As long as the orange is towards the burnt orange/terracotta end of the spectrum.

If Forza motorsport had a recent or modern F1 car in it (2022 ground effect or at least something with a halo) I'd be on it doing liveries. I'd be doing fully painted versions of these half bare carbon cars.

Crofty does my tits in, but I absolutely cannot wait to see how he tries to describe these cars in race. hehe

None of this team name lends itself to somebody commentating trying to describe one of their cars doing something easily

Sweepstake on how many races into the season will he be following that and Strike F1 up with “of course formally known as…”

I reckon high teens, possibly round 18.

My word, that image is a riot of inaccessibility! Terrible font; so many colour blocks. I had to concentrate waaaay too hard to discern the information being disseminated! Bloody awful, F1 MarComms team. 1/10. grumpy

Absolutely the OP's Table is much clearer ... and also saves my piss from boiling at the sight of that terrible green K logo for Kick Chuffing Sauber

I no longer really care about these launches, the teams should just call them what they are. Livery launches. They are not the cars, in a lot of cases they are digital renders.

I just wait until testing when we see the real cars rolling out of the garage with numerous differences to the launch car, which is usually different to the car that will line up on the grid in the 1st race.
