That's what I expected a lot of cars to look like this season, lots of bare carbon to keep weight down to a minimum.
How long until a team finds a way to colour the carbon enough to technically run with no paint at all, just stickers?
The reason Mercedes cars are silver is due to weight reducing. Years ago F1 cars raced in their respective countries designated colour (Britain-Green, France-Blue, Belgium-Yellow etc). Germany’s colour was white but in the 30’s their car was over the weight limit so they stripped the paint to get it under and created the Silver Arrows.

Nice story.
Unfortunately it's completely untrue and just some random claptrap the 1930's version of Toto Wolff or Christian Horner made up in his memoirs
Its slightly different I guess, but yeah too similar to the Haas which is bloody typical ... Best AT was when it was predominantly white with the rear of the car blue
With the amount of black on show (I read Mercedes may be running and black and silver car this year) to allow for bare carbon fibre, I reckon it might be a bit tough distinguishing between cars on TV this year.

Yeah their race suits dont have any of the Petronas blue in it this year, so be surprised if its on the car as well.

Still think the Aston should have an awful lot more of the like green on it, like their GT cars.
It's going to be difficult to tell a lot of the grid apart this season with all the exposed carbon everywhere for weight saving, would have loved this colour on the Aston.
Could be the bad picture but that sidepod looks very different from any of last years
Ferrari is my favourite livery so far - looks a stronger shade of red than last year. Disappointing how boring they all are in the main though.
There's still a surprising amount of variation in side-pod design. usually by now everyone has figured out who has the best concept and started copying it, but none of the concepts look identical, although they all seem to be generally shrinking. Ferrari look to have some of the biggest and most "traditional" looking side-pods.

Forgettable livery for a team you won't see much on TV unless they're retiring.
