    It’s almost as if they sampled too much of Mercedes secondary color. At least, in that lighting that is what I am reminded of.

    That is one sexy car, with Vettel on the team now as well, I like the team a lot more than last year. ::love::

    I’m surprised the green is not a tad darker and it’s not matte. Everyone went matte as it’s lighter and seemed to be slightly better in the aero dept.

    I wonder if those pictures are a render....

    I had hope when I found that too, but it seems the color doesn’t accurately show even in the same photo shoot. We will really see what it looks like driving out of the pit garage for the first time.

    BWT has retained its Racing Point Sponsorship so I guess the rumors of Williams/Haas having a pink livery (with BWT as their title sponsor) can be disregarded

    While I was expecting a darker British Racing Green on the Aston Martin, I’m just glad it doesn’t have a “Rich Energy” logo on it.

    Those colour tones look way off. It is much more as expected in the videos of the launch

    Looking at the car, It looks to have some serious new solutions not found on other cars. Either the other MFG's have used last years nose to hide what they are doing (which has been confirmed in a few reveals) But I see a clear phallic protrusion on the AM, and some interesting aero guidance in the nose.

    Also is it me or is their floor not as tapered as everyone else's is? Normally this years car has a narrower floor near the rear then at the mid body.

    Lol I feel like this is a thing almost every year or so...I won't be holding my breath.
    However I will say that if it is going to happen in the near future, I could see it happening now-ish with all of the reg changes.
    But at the same time Porsche just announced that they will be returning to WEC with an LMDh entry.
    VAG seems to want to go all in on this hybrid stuff then huh...

    I think they may have done what HAAS has done. Showed off their new livery, but did so on their 2020 car...> Maybe? I don't really know.

    I do like the new colors. Although I think the 2017 car was the best looking...

    Uralkali sponsorship proves how green F1 is.

    But also might explain why HAAS didn't get rid of Mazepin lol.
    If they dropped him they may have dropped their title sponsor.

    Aramco are one of the biggest sponsors of the sport too, noted environmental organisation that it is.

    Human rights also. Every survey F1 sends me I throw in that they are hypocrites for having Aramco as sponsor yet have end racism on their tracks. upload_2021-3-4_17-4-30.jpeg . That’s all I will say on the matter.

    Then there's also Mission Winnow and A Better Tomorrow, as much as I like seeing sponsors on McLaren I really wish they would walk away from that cynical garbage. As much as I love the sport I'd rather they had far lower budgets and weren't doing so many deals with the devil to pay the bills.
