Mercedes is quite a bit slimmer in the end compared to last year's car

Plus as we know from them, this is the base version of the car that will be used in promotional material. New aero package coming in Barcelona.

Love all the nutty aero bits on the Ferrari. The halos continue to kill me, sorry. For a sport that has some of the smartest most talented designers and engineers in the world, it is unforgivable that this was their solution. I expect way more racing incidents from blind spots than injuries prevented by those abominations.

Mercedes not joking with bargeboards and area under sidepods

Damn dudes the Halos are so bad. I was on board when the PR shots were shown, but the normal everyday pics of it make it look comical. I don't mind change, but this is just awful and in your face.

Hopefully this season we get more competition, because F1 needs to distract me from the Halos.

It'll be great if Ferrari doesn't shit their pants and McLaren or Renault join Redbull all at the front fighting for podiums.

I still think Hamilton has 7 titles by the new 2021 engine rules though.

Damn, the nose cones / side pods on these things are insanely skinny. Definitely an interesting change.

Absolutely hideous. If you don't have sponsors, don't just make it a big orange slab of nothing with an ugly blue fin.

Looks like a backmarker.

What an awful livery. The one from last year was so much better.

Looks like a car from a nearly broke backmarker.

Yeah last year's livery was way better, it did cover the lack of sponsors very well. This looks like some of the Sauber's uninspired liveries from the previous years.

They should get a call about the sponsorship from BIC ;)

It's an evolution of the Indycar livery.

It looks great.

That lack of sponsorship really hurts that look. You could do a lot more with it.
At least it will stand out.

Very discreet Renault branding. Was expecting them to make it a bit more obvious that they'd split from Honda; that seems to be the agenda.

Strong sponsorship branding helps a lot. Something that feels like a distant memory in the F1 circus.

If McLaren do well (and they should) I can see more sponsors logos in the sparse areas. It's probably their intent to have left it like that in the first place.

The new McLaren livery looks absolutely beautiful and is way better than the senseless black orange from last season.

The McLaren looks good from the front. It's just a bit plain on the middle when viewing from the side. They should put McLaren or the driver's name in big size on the sidepod.

This is literally the only angle that has sponsors to break up the big orange slab of nothingness.
