I know, right? Their testing liveries have never not been great. This one has the smallest sidepod inlets I've seen this side of a mid-90s Jordan:

A very Adrian Newey-style nose as well.

It seems that liveries matter much less than before. The bodywork's surface is tiny in comparison of the size of the car, and it's not smooth enough. It's all broken angles and protruding small pieces here and there, no wonder you need an engine cover tail to make part of the car visible enough to write a big sponsor name on it in any visible way.

that's a damn great livery, maybe they could use it to sell team clothing at outrageous prices

I love that livery, wish they would keep it. Shame that everything is being ruined by the Halo. Thought I will get used to the looks by now, but I still can't..

The number of aero devices around the side pod is obscene.

To be fair, that should be the thread title for each car launch

Maybe with overwhelming fan approval for the test livery, they might stick with it for the season? Here's hoping.

Yes. :oops:

No, wait, wait. I should not be ashamed for it! F1 has been given The fatal blow and IndyCar is throwing ashes on top of the remains.

These cars are hideous and we should all stand up against this nonsense. And since the halo is there mainly because Ferrari wanted it, I'm going to boycott them and never going to buy their cars. Now who's with me?
