Interesting!
I really like the added black for McLaren. It helps balance the overall design for me. The orange is so bright and vibrant that the black helps cut that saturation. It also looks more polished with the design elements behind the intake, the orange slash with blue border.
Alpine and McLaren both tweaked their liveries in Bahrain:
I think the added black on both liveries look great. Really helps the color balance on the McLaren and it reduces the hideous pink on the Alpine.
Overall this is a very solid looking grid for 2022. Big question remains for the Haas team, but honestly the car looks good with the russian branding removed.
My only complaint is the amount of blue, but not sure what to do about that.
Haas is removing the UralKali logos from their trucks already. Will be interesting to see if this is permanent, will they get a new sponsor and livery for the season? Will they just go with a white car? or will they even exist without that sponsor money.
The like thumbs up is not showing up. Likely due to a filter applied on the CSS. You can change the brightness on this element to 100% and it will show up.
Current:
.ipsReact_button {
filter: grayscale(100%) brightness(160%);
}
Fixed:
.ipsReact_button {
filter: grayscale(100%) brightness(100%);
}
Disappointed for Alpine.
I knew the pink was coming but this looks shoehorned in super late in the design process.
Blue and pink could work well together but this isn’t it.
