I agree.

I actually prefer the non-official style launches when a car is tested in public (in a non-standard livery) before it's official unveiling.

I miss the days where everyone was looking forward to the paintshemes.
The last one that you didn't want to miss was when Torro Rosso revealed their car. And today even that one is becoming boring.

Seeing as there's no massive sponsorship changes, I can't see any changing. The only really meh ones for me are Sauber and Toro Rosso.

I really hope Sauber will finally get rid of the BMW-white again. But I'm afraid that won't happen.

I'd much rather have the McLaren changing colour schema.

I'm fine with the Sauber white, it's simple and not gharish in any way. McLaren do need a refresh but that isn't going to happen.

McLaren really do need something new, the chrome look is really not great. Well, not to my taste anyway.
Someone did a mock up of last years car in black at the start of the season, which looked so much nicer.

I actually like the chrome, for me it was the best looking car on the grid (but as I said before, that had a lot more to do with their lack of stepped nose)
Have a soft spot for Marussia too, red and black is just cool.

I like it a lot more when a team sticks with a livery for the long term rather than changing it year on year.
(not that they get much choice with sponsorship contracts these days )

The only paint job I'd prefer to see change would be Sauber's to something with a few more sponsors.

Sauber gain sponsorship in a non-conventional sense. The sponsors that pay Sauber don't use brand visibility on the car as the vehicle for marketing purposes. The point being, it's unlikely they'll be changing away from the white.

Also whats with 664? Last time they did a number like that was 1992 wasn't it? That year went well for them.


Ferrari's been odd with their numbering lately. They had 248 back in 2006 but the last time they had the 6 numbering designation was in 1991 with the 643.

I think the 664 is just the codename for it.

Whilst we're talking liveries, Ferrari need to go to black wings. It won't happen but..

Plus Cesare Fiorio needs to be put back in charge.

Oh and they obviously need to go back to the original scarlet colour, not the red colour they've been using for 10 or so years now.
