You only have like 9 teams of which 5 will be grey-ish, 2 will be redbull-ish and then you have a red team and a black team.

why don't want teams to look more distinguish from each other? Blue, yellow, green, where art thou?

Oh god no....Then we'd have to look at it's boring livery a lot. It better be mediocre so it gets barely any airtime.

I imagine it's because the teams all now employ designers who, as Jeremy Clarkson would say, all have polo necks and thin glasses and want everything to look like an Apple product. Hence why everything ends up looking exactly the same.

good times were those where you could mistake an Alfa Romeo with a McLaren

now we'll mistake a McLaren with a Force India (if they really race)

And you barely see sponsorships in this car....what a disgrace man. That black is completely useless and completely empty of sponsorships aswell, what proves me that they really didn't need it.....The chrome is also unnecessary. Massive, massive frustration.

on the other side, we'll be able to see more drivers mistaking their boxes during pitstops

from another forum... I laughed.

Quote:
The McLaren itself looks quite good, very clean, I like it. The livery? Ugh. Knowing Ron Dennis, I'm convinced McLaren has bucketloads of silver paint fro 20 years of being Merc's team, and he is too cheap to buy new colors until it runs out.That's the only explanation that makes sense.

Now we just need to paint the Ferrari Silver too, so we all have Black, White and Grey cars. Very good for the sport.

the shades of gray/silver/chrome illustrates pretty much the sport situation, shady and dark times for F1 racing

I'll stay here to turn the lights off and close the door

I'm going to say it: the McLaren looks awesome. Yes, the white/red would be even more awesome, and make more sense. But this livery is probably still the 2nd most awesome thing they could do.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

All that circlejerking over the Marlboro livery and it ends up looking exactly the same as it did last year, still with no title sponsor.

At least there's no chode on it.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Clean picture of the new Mercedes:

I just wonder why the FIA didn't redefine the rules for the location of nosecone onboard cameras. The nose has to be as low as possible for safety reasons but the onboard cameras have to be that high??
