Red Bull, and a lot of others, generally show off what is essentially last year's car and then bring out all the special bits for the first test and the first race. They'd be stupid to show too much too soon.

Haas are not going to develop their car after the pre-season test, concentrating entirely on '22 instead.
Some points opportunities for Williams then unless they do the same.

Diggin that Alpine livery.
That AMG F1 looks ok from the front but the side is giving me serious 2011 HRT vibes. Not much of a fan, seems likes a bitsa of ideas cobbled together.

Re: 2021 F1 launch and testing topic
Was waiting for the Alpine livery & it hasn't disappointed... Although it was always going to be much like their Endurance car liveries we are used to seeing.
I like the Merc, at least it has some more colours now but I can see why KNAPPO is saying he gets HRT vibes from it.
Yeah I think that is the red Nikki star on the side of the cockpit / headrest.

Mercedes confirmed on Twitter the red star behind the cockpit is the Lauda one.

There's currently an excrutiatingly awkward Q&A with the drivers and actress Gemma Arterton who, I sense, has no idea who either of them are
They just say the same corporate stuff, exciting looking car, can't wait to get in it, looking forward to the year, great design etc etc.

Hmm, I was expecting the colour to be more British Racing Green and less hospital scrubs.

I don't mind the AM colour & I don't think they can totally claim the classic British racing green given it has been used on other manufacturers across history.

Re: 2021 F1 launch and testing topic
Thats how a W11 should look.
I think this shade of green will show up on TV much easier than traditional British racing green so its a fair compromise for me.
