Merc livery launch on the 2019 car to show their new sponsor Ineos. Basically a splash of red on the air intake and front wings.

I know it is only a few flashes of Red but I would rather less Red on the grid tbh.

Agree. Could do with someone going for something a bit different to stand out from the greys, blacks and reds.Duke wrote:I know it is only a few flashes of Red but I would rather less Red on the grid tbh.

Re: 2020 F1 car launch/testing
Renault were supposed to launch today but just showed some close up renders of a car with no livery.
Cyril Abiteboul said he did not want to present "fake cars" before they were finished.
In an apparent broadside at rivals' unveilings, Abiteboul told Sky Sports: "I'm a bit frustrated of seeing comments of people on social media trying to interpret cars that are not the actual car.
"There is no way that we can have a car here because the car frankly is still in bits, still being produced or being shipped to Barcelona.
"I don't want to play dumb with people, I think people deserve reality, and they don't deserve fake information - or fake cars. So I don't want to present fake cars. So no car, renders of the car, some glimpses of the livery and for the actual car you'll see it in action in Barcelona next week."

Re: 2020 F1 car launch/testing
Good on ya Cyril, I totally agree & feel the FIA should mandate it should be the new car that is unveiled not just liveries.
I can't help noticing the little winglets are starting to creep back into sport, refer to the step up on the RBR nose. I thought there are now rules to stop this from happening again given how ugly the cars looked not that long ago???

Is it 2021 yet?
Struggling to care about these launches this year. Just want to get to round 1 underway.

The rear is interesting. Closing over the upper suspension rather than going full coke bottle.

Re: 2020 F1 car launch/testing
It sure is interesting Darren, is it legal or just hiding something until testing starts...?
Reminds me of the old F1 engine cowls.
