I thought Jaguar got British Racing Green right:

But that might be why they wanted something different for Aston Martin. Despite my comment above, that colour always looked great on a DB7 so I think it'll be fine on track, and will stand out. It's probably just the presentation here that makes it a bit, er, medical.

Now my son's developed an interest in F1 and pandemic prospects are looking up, I'm considering going to the British Grand Prix this year so I'll see for myself. The last one I went to was Melbourne 2007 :yikes:

So Gene HAAS is running out of money then?


Also does anyone else read that sponsor name & wonder if its a product you apply to your private parts?

Funny how the Russian colours are the same as the US colours, just in a different order...
It wasn't till I read these comments tonight that I noticed the red white and blue were not in the US configuration.

I like the livery, has a real retro feel to it and it would stand out well on TV. Kinda like the Martini Williams use to.

Can we just call them Trump F1 now?

The Williams team have managed to leak a high-detail model though the AR app :doh:

If Haas ran a BAR 1999 style half/half livery with the German flag for Mick :rofl:

The front wings are coloured exactly the same as the Russian flag. There is a worldwide ban on the Russian flag in sport for althetics doping reasons but they seem to have got it cleared as a livery that coincidentally is the same as the flag! Marzipan will actually run under the Independent flag not the Russian one.

Williams
No sign of Rich Energy on them. They're still claiming they've paid out to be a sponsor on someones car. Come on Ferrari! :)

The SC's do look great but I'm surprised to see that colour on them.

Surely on a dark dreary day they could be hard to see? But then they do have crap loads of warning lights on em.

They've been pretty much the same colour as the rain for years, so I'd say this is a step forward in that regard :D

Silver is not grey & lighter than the AM green but I get you're point.

I guess I'm more used to seeing SC & Emergency vehicles from other categories around the world that are more the traditional red or yellow livery.

No matter the car colour, the lights on top are far brighter than anything else

Haas are under investigation by the World Anti-Doping Agency for the livery resembling the Russian flag.

OK here's a question.... why are all F1 cars black on that lower 20% of the car?
Is it because that's where all the flicks and slots are and they want to hide them as much as possible and black paint does the job nicely?

It's in Lewis's contact that all cars must be partially black.
