What exactly you expecting?, chrome paint still isn’t weightless as far as I’m aware

Wow, that's actually pretty horrendous to be honest. Like, objectively speaking, there can't be someone who actually thinks this looks good? Its a mess, put together with colors that don't match. Either go full in a ditch the papaya and the random black parts, or just don't do it at all. This is a monstrosity lmao.

I honestly like it, could have used even more chrome though. Feel like the nose box ought to have been chrome with papaya detailing along the edge, but hey. At least it's better than the regular livery. Not that that is a very high bar, mind you. Sorry, Emag... :lol:

EDIT: Also they dropped the hideous charcoal grey from the race suits, which is a plus. Even though it's still not up to par with the 2018-2021 suits.

If they DON'T turn up with a chrome car then I'll set fire to the world 😂 😂

If it is Chrome and Papaya then I'll start looking for those Infinity Stones I keep seeing on TV and see what can be done about this mad universe

#ThanosHatesPapaya
Why did they do this. Where are those damned stones.

If there was less Papaya, say just the sidepods and the rear wing, I could just abut get on board, but this just doesn't look good :roll:

Time to vaporize half if life in the universe.

I appreciate though that this is just my personal taste and many may love the look.

According to Chris Medland the team wanted to do more but where limited by the FIA, sponsors and concerns about weight and their papaya identity.

What could have been...

The chrome itself looks fantastic but it feels time to say bye to Papaya.

Yup, the base livery this year just isn't any good at all.

I've never warmed fully to the Papaya or the colour schemes they used, except for the deep rich blue.

Well i LOVE it! The best livery combo EVER

I think the combination of the black, silver and Papya work perfectly

I hope Google are so impressed they stump up the cash to keep it
