I am NOT a Red Bull fan by any means, but I cannot get over how much I love the way that RB12 looks in these pictures. It is simply mesmerizing to me. I know Williams used a similar matte white last season, but the contrast of the Red and yellow from RB without the white outline is beautiful. Well done RB, well done indeed. =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>

I made a comment in another thread about it, the paint and the way the camera sees the car makes it look like CGI, straight from the next F1 game rather than real life

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!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

I don't know if it's just a badly edited article but I really don't know what the guy is saying half the time.

Still, I tend to agree that most liveries are bad this year - totally don't agree that the Mercedes and the Williams are the best ones though (most interesting bits are on the RB and the nesting on the Renault for me).

I agree the liveries this year are just boring and with little thought in them, particularly when you look at some of the classic seasons. Even the one or two dark liveries that look quite good on their own (Force India, Red Bull), become dull when you realise nearly all the cars are like that.

I think the guy in that article would be critical of anything, though...

For a comparison of liveries from the pre-hybrid, pre-dodgy noses era, these were the liveries from the early 2000's (the F1 art equivalent of "early modern"?):

Except for a few teams like Ferrari, that have set a color tradition, over the past 10 years or so, F1 liveries have predominantly been 50 shades of boring grey. These neutral colors are primarily used to appeal to the advertising audience.

White, grey and black help to create contrast and make other colors stand out. They don’t convey any particular message on their own, but neutrals work best by staying just that, neutral. They support their surroundings by being complementary, so that the other colors of sponsors stand out.
