yep, pretty dull design.
Ι agree, very boring. It needed red to spice things up, and for God's sake, enough with the white!

It is also an airline.

The livery is very conservative, but making it flashier won't make the car go faster.

If it wins, it'll be beautiful in my eyes.

Susie looks hot in a race suit and in the new outfit is even hotter!

Hope she gets a race seat but doubt it will happen at Williams in the next couple of years. Is anyone going to take on a 31 year old rookie?
Finally, everyone knows that Red Bull is a joke and Max Verstappen is overrated.

They stated multi-year contract. What's the guess, how many years?

Martinis stripes are also considered part of the brand, so they also will in theory have to disappear at GPs where alcohol isn't advertised.
Not so sure...stripes can just be stripes..."oh they just happen to look like the Martini ones..."

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Ferrari took off the white stripes that looked like a barcode that happened to look a bit like the Marlboro logo

Plenty of room for additional sponsors. I just hope Martini are not paying the same amount they were for their tiny logo on the Ferrari :) considering Williams likely form this year, this is a fantastic deal for Martini.

Confirmed black wings then. Looks much better in motion than in stills.

Does anyone know what circuit this is? Imola, Mugello, Ascari? I can't think of one in the UK that has mountains near it.

Edit: NVM, it's Ascari. Did some more digging and matched the mountains in the other photo with a video from Ascari.

A Vodka Martini that's shaken will break down the ice quicker, so is a fancy wait of ordering a watered down drink...

...are you suggesting that this livery is also a watered down livery in comparison to what they could have done?? :wink:
