Take that Hamilton fans!
New somewhat uglier Alpha Tauri livery.
Why uglier? It looks like a proper racing livery for the first time ever in the team life.
The classic Red Bull liveries (in any kind of motorsport) are akin to Supreme liveries in Forza Horizon 4: stuff for tasteless dorks.
Yeah, can’t say it’s gorgeous but don’t think it’s ugly either.
I could be a tasteless dork sometimes though...
I prefer last year’s livery is all.Originally Posted by Blerpa
The colors are too muted and dull to me. So I’m with RWA.
It might have to do with hiding the RB16 cowl-to-floor area.
I think last year's livery was very well-received among casual and hardcore fans, but one of the issues with it was the lack of an explanation to the Alpha Tauri brand, so maybe, in order to add the "fashion" bit, they had to re-balance the two-tone paint job, which in turn might have given away too much of the intricacies of the RB rear end. Apparently, Red Bull does the graphic design for both teams from that wooden building adjacent to the Milton Keynes technology center, and the branding team works closely with the technical guys; the matte finnish on the last few cars was all a big team effort. It has even been rumored that Newey has a final say on the livery, because he is always trying to hide the details.
acket.
Hah, interesting if true.
And Blerps, I hope you're not forgetting the Minardi history of the team! They had some of the best liveries in F1 back in the day, peaking in the 90s and 00s with various arrangements of blacks and whites. And who can forget the fantastic looking Telefonica livery in bright yellow? Oof!
Nowadays they have... white wheels. Or is that very pale blue? Eugh.
Here's a nuther one.
