CreamSoda Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 With the 2021 season a few weeks away, teams have started to unveil their new cars. So far McLaren, Red Bull, Alpha Tauri, and Alfa Romeo have been released. Mercedes, Alpine (new in 2021, was Renault), Aston Martin (new in 2021, was Racing Point), Haas, and Wiliams will unveil their new designs this week. Ferrari is last and will be shown next week. McLaren: Red Bull: Alpha Tauri: Alfa Romeo: Mercedes: Alpine: Aston Martin: Haas: Williams: Ferrari: So far my favorite has been the the Alfa Romeo, but I am really looking forward to the two new teams, Aston Martin and Alpine.

cajunaggie08 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I see on the Aston Martin site that BWT is still listed as a "partner" aka sponsor so I can see pink being shoehorned in somewhere. Cognizant is Aston Martin's Title Sponsor so I expect their logo to be predominantly featured. At least its a non-color dependant wordmark so it shouldn't interfere with the Aston Martin green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until recently it wasn't looking like BWT would be back. Hopefully the new livery either doesn't incorporate pink or they planned the livery with BWT in mind. I just don't want them to slap on BWT and bright pink to a car that wasn't supposed to have it and possibly ruin a solid design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly loved the pink, but if there's any pink on the Aston Martin livery that'd be a real shame. Curious to see if they go with a very classy look or add some design element to it. Also interested in seeing Mercedes tomorrow and whether they continue with the black theme (which honestly was much better than I'd expected) or back towards the Silver Arrows look. I'd love to see a black chassis with more of the teal and silver elements to create a sort of bridge between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe more red with the InEOS deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepis21 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Mercedes teased this: I guess they added silver, because the engine was overheating with the black cover. At this moment Alfa Romeo win with their livery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CreamSoda Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 I really like the new Alpine, great use of blue/red/white but with the added black. The shiny blue is close to to the old Renault blue instead of being a true royal blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Underwhelmed by the new Mercedes livery. Was really hoping they would go back to a predominantly silver car with white racing suits this season. Alpine looks fantastic. Might be the best looking car on the grid although it's a shame we lose Renault's yellow for yet another blue car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnaroo42 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Echoing the above thoughts on Alpine. Will miss Renault, but I'll be damned if that ain't a good looking car. As for Mercedes, it's not awful. I'm happy with the black livery, but my only gripes would be swap the red with their green or silver, and go for a design element similar to last year's with the minimalist version of the Mercedes logo or something else abstract. The repeating AMG is a little too much. All in all, happy with today's releases though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The repeating AMG is a little too much. All in all, happy with today's releases though. It definitely does not work as well as the repeating stars. I'd also like to see them replace the red with their teal but that's a sponsorship thing. The red last year was darker and didn't stand out as much. I thought the move to black was pretty cool last season, but I still prefer the feel of the initial 2020 livery over the direction they're going in now. 18 hours ago, Bonnaroo42 said: I honestly loved the pink, but if there's any pink on the Aston Martin livery that'd be a real shame. They could probably relegate pink to the back of the rear wing and it wouldn't really affect the look of the car. Huski Chocolate's red clashes with McLaren's orange and blue but it's fine on the rear wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CreamSoda Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 I think Aston Martin stole the Merc side swoosh.... fitting for a team that used to be called (T)Racing Point.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I'm guessing the pink details were supposed to be the lime greenish yellow Aston Martin's other racing teams use until it was decided that BWT was staying on as a partner last week since all of the Aston Martin merch I've seen uses the two greens and no pink.
