MODERATORS
My ranking so far:
- Alpine - color pattern and cleanness ๐
- Williams - the smart details are superb
- McLaren / HAAS- gets kind of boring and looks the same every year, but still okay
- RB - would be last if not...
- Sauber - you can argue it's new and punk, but it just looks like green vomit for me
Williams' livery is great.
Torro Rosso has to be the best this year so far
Stake Kicks Sauber is really ugly, and while itโll be identifiable, itโs not pleasant to look at.
Mclaren/Williams look alright
Alpine Iโm going to have to hold judgement on, but itโs so bare that it just looks kinda boring
I could have a grid without the last two. Honestly I don't even care that Visa is a title sponsor. It is just a terrible name without even a good way to shorten it.
And maybe we could trade in Hass for Andretti?
Wouldn't mind if F1 created a rule to make X percent of body surface obligatory painted.
The race to the bottom to add as little paint as possible (hi Mercedes) isn't doing much for the look of the cars.
agreed, it should just be 100% coverage for simplicity imo. If you wanna make your car black or carbon fiber go for it, but it will still need an outer layer of some kind.
This is looking like a fresh year so far. I'm happy with the variety and I don't really have any negatives to say yet. Haas doesn't really stand out ... In more than just the livery.
Looking forward to the season!
