Thats.....grey.

 

[BigAl1992]

What's up with the reflections on the nose? It makes it look like the paintwork got scratched to hell.

 

[Zeknurn]

After finding out that Haas has a budget somewhere between Manor and Sauber, I don't expect much from them except playing backmarker. Hope they can surprise me.

 

[Lemonte]

That flat grey looks pretty bad.

That's Haas Automation's corporate colours....

I don't think it looks that bad. Not pretty, but I wouldn't say it's outright ugly. That nose reflection is weird though.

That's fine, but do something with it.

 

[Jezbollah]

That's fine, but do something with it.

Given that we've only seen one photo from the car, whats to say they haven't already?

 

[RoKKeR]

Well, the livery is better than last year's at least.

Edit: I think? The flat grey does look a bit strange.

 

[Zeknurn]

It looks like a partially painted Revell model kit.

edit:

Looks alright tbh

 

[Adam Scott Aukerman]

Looks much nicer in that side-on shot.

 

[Aiii]

Not too bad, it's an interesting look.

All the teams are doing a pretty good job at creating a unique and differenting look at least, not like the all black grid's of years past.

 

[RSP]

I kind of like the Haas livery. Kind of looks like a GT3 RS color combination

 

[Goldrusher]

Matte gray would've looked cooler, imo.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

I like it! Looks like something out of a comic book.

 

[Jezbollah]

It's better looking than the McLaren and Force India

 

[Dilly]

Renault looks so good this year.

 

[Rolfgang]

That grey on the Haas looks weird, almost as if it was black, but it got a layer of dust on it.

 

[brotkasten]

I actually like the Haas. It's definitely a different take, which I appreciate.

 

[Patrick S.]

Renault looks so good this year.

I know I sound like a broken record, but it would look much better without all this crap:

These cars look almost as alien as modern IndyCars

 

[RoKKeR]

That angle on the Haas is much better, I like the darker grey.

 

[PdotMichael]

I welcome the return of the F1 2008 cars.

Now the season only needs to deliever the same drama like 2008.

It's all fine till somebody straps on a donkey ears nose piece.

That's the circle of life.

 

[Aiii]

I am glad F1 is still an innovate sport, and not a stock car sport where everyone drives the same car because the designers aren't allowed to add any aero.

More flaps, please.

 

[Tempy]

Good times.

Who can forget this monstrosity:

More flaps, please.

No please.
Less flaps more floor aero.
Bring back ground effect floors

Cars will look slicker and will be easier to follow and overtake.

 

[DBT85]

It should be noted before this all kicks off that these rule changes were suggested by Red Bull. Mercedes thought that it would make the field spread out and help 1 or 2 teams dominate and instead suggested a different set of rules that they felt would simplify things and close things up a bit.

Have to wonder what RBR will come up with based on Neweys own regs.

No please.
Less flaps more floor aero.
Bring back ground effect floors

Cars will look slicker and will be easier to follow and overtake.

Even the teams aren't 100% that this is true. This year sees a ton more ground effect thanks to the enlarged diffuser and larger rake possible.

 

[PdotMichael]

No please.

Didn't it have like the opposite effect?

[Zeknurn]

The McLaren livery is growing on me but I still wish they would scale back the black and replace it with white.

 

[Theorry]

McLaren sounds pretty good,

[Dilly]

Did the McLaren blow up yet?

 

[Mastah]

 

[GrimmGrinn]

Front Wing Gills looks like it melted

 

[Shaneus]

Still no RBR?

Also, interesting different take on the rear fin thing for Haas.

Fuck, still an hour and a bit away? Jesus, that's 11pm here :/

 

[Rolfgang]

My body is ready for the Super Sunday Reveals.

 

[Dilly]

Mclaren livery looks pretty cool in action. Needs more white though.

 

[Scotch]

The livery doesn't look that bad here, but god that shark fin is hideous.

 

[nature boy]

Man still can't get over that Mclaren livery.

MCL32 is Manor reincarnated.

 

[John_B]

Mercedes is even getting a performance boost from new Petronas fuel.
https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/mercedes-gets-boost-from-new-petronas-fuel-877309/

Mercedes is on some Conan "what is best in life" savagery.

If the Hamilton of the last three races shows up it will be over.

 

[brotkasten]

13 Minutes to go for the RB13.

 

[Theorry]

Weird there is no livestream.

 

[Shaneus]

13 Minutes to go for the RB13.

Yup. I think local time of launch is 13:13.

 

[Theorry]
