Alright when was that again.....?

also, seems a bit slap dash to go to this expense for a launch and not rotate the tyres to line up with each other

 

[GTAce]

Livery wise a huge downgrade.

Yes that’s a good point... when the teams jack up the hgvs/ transporters in the paddock to line up all the logos on the wheels for every GP... this seems like a detail overlooked indeed.

Might be the start of a more ‘relaxed’ team outlook though in the light of all the current situation... but I can’t imagine that the ‘don’t sweat about the small stuff’ would work for any pro sport, let alone F1... which is all about the small stuff for that last 10th!

it's just fashion you know xD

 

[Trebor901]

People moaned about mclaren not really changing their livery but at least it looks better than this

 

[F2020]

Looks nice, like the white rims.

Looking forward to next years cars though, they should look amazing.

Shame they dont have v12's mind.

 

[Paul Glover]

I like it.

 

[LeSunTzu]

There is a Brabham vibe in this livery. I love it.

Who is that child?

 

[Michel Bélisle]

The car was unveiled at The Gap?

 

[Antony Snook]

Looks like Monza in the 60's

Nurburgring 1974

If you look real close his name is on the car in a freehand font.

Every new start of the Formula Season I have this feeling:

That is ok becuse its easy to follow teams if they don't chainge. Ps as far as Coca Cola is concerned the dash has been remouvied in some years. And Frebreeze is now Fabrez. I saw a show on these minour chainges to logos.

While I prefer to 2020 livery to this one I think it still looks good. Personally I thought they had one of the best liveries on the grid last year.

Teams weren't supposed to be racing these cars this year, until covid killed everyone's plans, hopes and dreams.

The scheme's so far, do seem to be a bit end of term. It'll do, till we can get shot of them.


That's right, I'm back... Only 'cause I remembered another "news" story. Apparently, last season tv viewing figures dropped significantly (even with much of us forced to share space with the telly more), maybe sponsors are less interested too.

pay per view beginning to bite... mixed with a downturn in most economies due to COVID... PPV would be considered a disposable luxury that can be cancelled...

I think we can also agree that there was zero semblance of a title fight. At least in 19, 18, 17 Ferrari managed to put up a challenge during the season. To me Merc dominance was at it's peak powers and made watching formula 1.5 or the midfield battle the main draw.

I agree with you, there was another age where every F1 car was different like Tyrrell 6 tyres or Alfa Romeo turbine system, now it seems all the same, some minor changes but all cars seems like others, just paint one in yellow and you could think maybe is a Renault just by the colors, so that's why i prefer GT

 

[G-Slev]

Those honda logos remind me of Spirit in 1983....
