That Alpha Tauri livery is fucking hot as fuck.

Jesus.

Everything except the front wing is perfect, no idea why that had to ruin that with dumb text. At least it only looks bad from above, it looks fine from in front.

StopMakingSense · Feb 14, 2020

Oh I didn't notice it was a navy blue, thats a hot car.

FeD · Feb 14, 2020

That looks really good.

Gloss white with the matte navy blue go well together.

So how does the Ferrari look compared to others?

I like it. Sure beats the red Red Bull logo variants we've been getting up until now.

This is by far the best looking livery on the grid this year.
Sweet jesus it looks so well put together.
I guess not having too many sponsors can lead to a very clean looking livery.

Hard to say right now. For what is worth Scalabroni ( ex williams and Ferrari engineer) and Scarb said that all 3 top teams did a great job. First few races will tell the real performance as usual.

Oh Danny. Hopefully the only things on fire for you this year are your tweets.

I mean, it was a failed tweet the second he posted it.

Because when you just had the (deliberately) worst helmet in the last 3 decades, you don't get to comment.

Almost looks like it can't be that hard to drive lol

I think this angle is the one that best shows how truly incredible these cars are:

La Husqvarna Vitpilen 701 de Leclerc es una moto hecha por y para él

Diseñada expresamente para el piloto de Ferrari de Fórmula 1, esta Husqvarna demuestra que a veces menos es más...

Does Husqvarna only build tall ass motor bikes? LEC is not short and his feet are barely touching the ground.

You want to see something that looks impossible to drive?

All of the onboard camera positions/angles need work.

I think they were using the testing sessions to try things out on cameras.

That livery looks nicer when not under photography lighting.

It's in desperate need of a sponsor on the big orange bit tbh.

Agreed. Looks awesome on the 720S too.

endlessflood · Feb 16, 2020

At the very least, they could put their own bloody logo there while waiting for a real sponsor. They sell cars.

I've never understood cars with blank advertising space. Surely someone must be willing to advertise? Drop the price if you can't get any takers at what you're asking. Some money is better than no money, surely?

mute · Feb 16, 2020

McLaren still actively turning sponsors away because they don't pay enough money or don't have a logo that is the perfect shade of papaya orange?

Deleted member 2254 · Feb 17, 2020

Last row on the grid going to look pretty decent.

They have around 40 sponsors. So I'd guess they're doing ok without the need for a title sponsor.

Better than last year atleast....then again it would be very hard to be worse than last year.
The red on the endplates doesnt seem to actually flow.....but ill need to see more pictures.

And did they really put a beer on their car?....Yeah i know ROK is also an alcohol company but front and center AGK BEER....well no ones going to see it anyway so watevs.

We should probably create a standalone thread for this.

Williams' newly-unveiled FW43 is an evolution of last year's car with the team throwing resources where it believes it can gain the "most performance".

Oh dear. Still, to be fair, putting money into any part of that car would probably see an improvement.

~~Bit worrying how they've only released renders of the car and not any actual photos of it.~~

Nevermind, they've already had a shakedown. I just assumed it was a repeat of last year where they were running ridiculously late.

endlessflood · Feb 17, 2020

What's the schedule for preseason testing?

Dan · Feb 17, 2020

Six days. Wednesday to Friday this week and next. Sessions are 08:00-12:00 and 13:00-17:00 UK time.

Last year we had the toothpaste car. This year, Williams have doubled down on the concept.

It's only fitting Mercedes took the title pit stop this time around.

That Williams...at first I thought "meh" but the more I look at it the worse it gets

Ruruja · Feb 17, 2020

I like the Williams livery, gives me 90s vibes.
