So is Famin stilly gonna stay interim or has he been confirmed as full time?

The livery is 90% carbon.

Must be really trying to get it under weight.

[AR3-GP]

There's no livery. It's just exposed carbon.

[CaribouBread]

You know what, even though it is mostly black, I really like the paint scheme, no idea what it'll look like on screen but I like it.

Respect for showing the real car, minus points for forgetting to paint most of the car

Good livery given the weight constraints but this is ridiculous. TIme for the FIA to mandate fully painted/covered carbon surfaces in the interest of "safety". prevent shattered carbon in crashes or something

It looks like the A523.

I guess the magic is underneath?

They've got the rb19 floor edge, mclaren-like sidepods but yeah I expect a lot of changes underneath. It's evolution not revolution

[CaribouBread]

The bit that's really sticking out to me is the new nose cone. Don't quite understand what they're going for with it

The upper wishbone seems much more angled from the studio shots

Yeah ,the front wing very interesting ,I'm curious how FIA will like it (outwash) .

[Macklaren]

"By applying these changes, we are giving ourselves much wider scope to add performance across the next two seasons even if there has been some compromise on reaching certain targets,"

yikes...the expectations management has already begun...

Alpine says its a new car from front to back.

[MtthsMlw]

We need a rule change that mandates that at least 90% of bodywork has to be painted over
