Agreed, that grey looks too blah, I prefer the first pic where the car looks black.

Yuck. Cement/primer grey does not belong on an F1 car.

I like the grey, fits the fighter jet motif.

So its official, The S-Haa-rk Fins are everywhere

*sigh*

Expect to see more shark fin than car on the Red Bull

P.S. dunno if I've made it clear yet, but I REALLY hate shark fins :p

Oh great, we all love tarmac so much that better paint that car tarmac. Also, better have some red stripes that it won't blend in with the red rumble strips.

Not sure what the hate against shark fins is. CART cars in the 90s had them always and they looked great. It makes a car look agressive, from my point of view. The colors are just weird. Sure they have corporate colors and need to be taking seriously, but come one, you're almost a billionaire, you just started an f1 team, I would make the livery just so they you could so it in the background when the Merc is going into T1 and you automatically focus on that vague bright purple pink thing in the background. That's what I would do if i had too much money. Don't care if it's ugly, it needs to be extremely visible.

Shark fins on the CART cars were pretty small compared to what we've seen in F1, and even then they were still ugly

Biased to Haas F1 but the livery needs a rethink. Overall, the deeding is interesting and I am interested in seeing the car in Australia. HAAS for the win ;)
