    Lovely from McLaren... Nice to see they've changed it up a bit. 



    Really really like it and do expect them to use a special livery somewhere like they did in Monaco with the Gulf livery.

    Like that McLaren. Lose the blue flashes on the wheels but otherwise good.

    Like the overall profile of these new cars, they look very sleek and elegant compared to cars from the last couple of decades with a billion aerodynamic bits and bobs bolted to the body.

    Too busy and too much black IMO
    I think you are seeing a lot of black due to the new larger wheels this season, they certainly look massive compared to last year.

    Well they are a lot bigger as a result of the rule changes aren’t they? 

    Can’t remember exactly how long in 13” wheels and now moving to 18” wheels. Massive difference.

    Yes all to do with the rule change.

    No it's the black strip that runs through the middle and on the side of the cockpit that I don't like. I also don't like how the blue and black are following the lines of the car but in seemingly random thicknesses
  • Looking forward to seeing the new Williams car - hints of an old school colour scheme returning…… hoping for yellow, blue and white from the mid 80s or early 90s…

    Think Williams are the most likely to do something completely different, didn't especially like their 2021 livery , but there's enough excellent ones in their history to take inspiration from

    I really want a proper yellow car on the grid like the old Jordan days, or the brief time Renault ran in mostly yellow. 

    If the rumours about Audi and Porsche joining are true, expect to see a lot more silver on the grid soon enough
  • Been a few announcements today it seems. 

    If an event like Spa happens again, instead of set half points being awarded after two laps... Points of various levels will now be issued depending on how far into the race they get. So had that been the case this year; Verstappen would have received six points for the win.

    Also looks like there will be three Sprint races at Imola - Austria - Brazil. 
  • I thought points were only awarded if two laps WITHOUT the safety car, so he would have had NO points.

    How Dumfries39s Lotus F1 dream turned into a nightmare
  • Give us some BRIGHT colours F1!! - Look back at the 90s for some inspiration!!

    Glad that Alpine have got BWT as a Sponsor and that Mercedes are likely to be going back to Silver - Else I doubt I'd be able to tell the difference given the new Williams livery

    Its red... For a change - Wonder if this'll be the car that'll lead Leclerc or Sainz to the Championship.

    A lot of "experts" seem to think that Ferrari will be up there as a challenger again this season

    The Ferrari looks brilliant, very different direction to the other revealed cars so far, either means they're going to be right up there, or they've gone too far outside the box and it'll be an absolute dog
  • Interesting when you look at the various noses for each car

    Sorry, you’re both wrong

    There’s not any I dislike, but one or two I like more than the others…..if that make sense.
