Chris2K Posted February 7, 2023 Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 I'm just a stick in the mud who likes variety, so having three teams running predominantly red and black liveries is annoying. Not McLaren and Midland running identical liveries annoying, but still annoying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toe Posted February 7, 2023 Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 The more I see it, the more I think it will stand out from Ferrari when watching on TV. I have a bit of colour blindness, so sometimes these teams can blend together when they've got similar colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the other day how much more I'd like Alpine if they rolled out the Renault yellow for their reveal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2K Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 Another team choosing black as their main colour. Thankfully the papaya should still stand out enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
METALMAN Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 Yeah, a bit too much black for me but it’s hard to go too wrong with that colour scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2K Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 The Mercedes is here, and you'll never guess what colour it is... At this point there's nothing more useless than the colour setting on my TV. Yesterday was Ferrari, who have also added more black to the usual red. I'm aware I'm turning into this guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2K Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 I did wonder how they were going to make last season remotely interesting, unfortunately it seems the answer is making the team principals front and centre. Still, time to pay for one month of Netflix to watch it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2K Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 It will have the pink/blue inverse colour scheme for the first three races, same as last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meacon Keaton Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 Well, at least it's not black. I'd prefer they go back to yellow, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twist Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 The Alpine BWT sponsorship is very frustrating. I really like the colour palette but it annoys me they dropped the yellow/black scheme to move to a tricolour scheme and embrace being a French team and then immediately whack pink all over it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2K Posted February 20, 2023 Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 Well it's been three years since they decided to leave (for the fifth time), so it must be time for Honda to start thinking about going back into F1. This company is hilarious. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2K Posted February 21, 2023 Report Share Posted February 21, 2023 Felipe Drugovich is replacing the injured Lance Stroll at this week's test. I'm glad it's Drugovich getting the drive, it's always seemed unfair that the F2 champion isn't allowed to compete again below F1, it's not their fault they don't have a daddy to buy a team for them, or that the rest of the teams won't let any new ones enter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twist Posted February 21, 2023 Report Share Posted February 21, 2023 I did not know that was a rule but on reflection if I’d given it any proper thought I’d have picked that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
METALMAN Posted February 21, 2023 Report Share Posted February 21, 2023 Just found out the new Williams principal is James Vowles, who was hired from Mercedes. Is this the Valtteri it’s James guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the Valtteri it’s James guy? It sure is. If I've been reading the reports about testing correctly, these are the major things: - Red Bull have already won the drivers and constructors titles. - For a few hours it looked like Ferrari had designed a front wing which changed shape at high speed to reduce drag, but of course it turned out to be a manufacturing flaw, because, Ferrari. - Aston Martin have improved significantly - McLaren have deteriorated further, with reports of Lando punching walls in frustration - Mercedes don't appear to have made any improvements - Alpha Tauri are likely to be sold by Red Bull because they're no longer cost effective.
