Maybe the idea is that if they make it black that when they are last and gooseberry fool they will blend into the tarmac and no one will notice.

I quite like the additional white on the new Ferrari, it's been a bit on the boring side for years now.


That is gorgeous. Looks like they've taken inspiration from the FXX K.

Best looking livery for years that.


I believe it's a sort-of tribute to Lauda's '76 312T:

The Ferrari looks like it should have heaps of rear downforce.

Awful livery. So far Red Bull's is my favourite.

It's not even the gradients that are the worst aspect, it's the fact that they're not continuous and the contrasting side/rear gradients are visible from the front. :fp:

Another one of Bernie's wacky ideas :fp: :twisted:

Ecclestone is the master of dropping a bombshell and watching everyone scurry for cover [...] He revealed a revolutionary plan that he wants in place for the opening race of this season in Melbourne on March 20 — mixed grids.
'We need more competitive racing,' he said. 'I would keep qualifying as it is. The guy who is quickest would still have his number of poles recorded for history. But then he could start, say, 10th based on his pole and where he stands in the championship. We are looking at exactly how we could do it.
'The guy who is third fastest in qualifying would start, say seventh or eighth. That is better than totally reversed grids because all you get with them is the man at the back getting past the slower guys at the start of the race. This way makes it competitive between guys of similar speed. It won't be easy to get past people.
'The big thing is that it would create debate. I would say, "I think the pole man will win for this reason or that". You say, "No, I think so-and-so will win because..." That's what we need. I don't know if we can get it through in time. We'll see.'

What channel would you find that on? I'm finding football is boring me at the moment and I'm not confident the new F1 season will hold my attention.
