pepis21 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 This Indycar papaya-baby blue paint is insane! Back to F1 at this moment McLaren is my favourite one, is not that nice as Indycar but still awesome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOrange Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 the unfortunately eye-catching bold "VELO" (apparently a Tobacco sponsorship of somekind) takes away a lot from a good livery. the E-Sports McLaren one with the black, neon orange and neon baby blue would be absolutely epic in night races though. I love the updated orange! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the updated orange! I don’t understand this. They’re a sponsor so they have their name of the car. It no different than any other. They Atleast don’t force the team to change their color scheme by adding colors that clash with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it's less distracting while in motion during TV/streaming 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrayJ12 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 I've been feeling very iffy on this year's McLaren livery. Don't get me wrong, the orange-blue combination looks very good this year, the execution just isn't there, compared with the past few years' liveries (2020 in particular). I also don't like the oversized number font at the front of the car this year. They should had stuck with the same number font, and they should not had made it blue. 21 hours ago, element7ero said: the unfortunately eye-catching bold "VELO" (apparently a Tobacco sponsorship of somekind) takes away a lot from a good livery. the E-Sports McLaren one with the black, neon orange and neon baby blue would be absolutely epic in night races though. I love the updated orange! VELO is a vape brand that is part of one of McLaren's major sponsors, British American Tobacco (the same people who ran BAR), so I would not be surprised if that brand gets taken off due to the strict tobacco sponsorship laws in most of the countries that F1 visits (especially Australia and the EU countries).

pepis21 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Alpha Tauri: IMO better than last season. Also: I'd say either Williams or they fake it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velo is a nicotine pouch with zero tobacco. Depending on the wording of the law, that may be how they get around advertising in places with tobacco ad bans. Then again, Mission Winnow (Phillip Morris) could advertize in Europe either so perhaps the ban is for any company that make a majority of its profit off of tobacco. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer15 Posted February 14, 2022 Author Share Posted February 14, 2022 AlphaTauri looks better except the wheels. Those should always be white. I liked that so much about the last car 1 Quote GTA United(USA) 2015 + 2016 USA Champions/Toronto Maroons (ULL)2014, 2015 + 2022 Gait Cup Champions/Toronto Northmen (TNFF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TenaciousG Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Guys, you don’t have to defend sponsors. If the ad is an eyesore it actually detracts from what the brand is trying to accomplish. For example, I think Velo sucks now, and even more so now that I know what they do. So I agree that it’s bad design.

CreamSoda Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Maybe Alpine goes primarily pink so we only have 3 teams in blue liveries.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CreamSoda Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 The Williams looks great, much improved from last year. Its a unique shade of blue that hopefully stands out on track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berlin Wall Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 As an old Williams supporter, I love it. I like that there isn't much white in it. I think we could see the prettiest F1-season ever in 2022. McLaren also has the best livery in their existence imo. Now I just hope that Mercedes is back in silver and Ferrari doesn't mess things up. A blue and pink Alpine could be hot, too. 2 Quote I'm a simple person, I have a pixelated David Beckham as profile photo since 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
