Honestly, of all the cars adding big swathes of black, Merc is the only one it truly suits IMO.
I know they're the "silver arrows", but I've never actually liked the silver livery. I always thought it looked like "we have chrome McLarens at home". So bland.
When they went black I was like god damn that suits them way better, they look mean.
The funny thing is: in the old days of F1, Mercedes scratched off the paint for weight reasons, revealing the aluminum beneath. Hence "silver arrows". Today they are doing it for the same reason, only revealing carbon fiber instead of aluminum.
So the black silver arrows?
Aston Martin managed to work with the exposed carbon really well this year too, imo. There is actually quite a bit of it, but thanks to the clever paint job it doesn't look like it. One of my favourites this year, alongside Ferrari of course.
It's going to be wild if Merc gets their shit together and Lewis jumps ship at the wrong time. Time will tell.
Different sidepod intake than what the rest are doing. Also the top of those sidepods looks really flat compared to other cars.
Anyway looks don't matter in the end, performance does. I'm glad they and Ferrari are doing their own thing in certain aspects rather than just copying RB.
I agree. The sidepod inlet is very unique looking with the fillet feature on the bottom, similar to what I remember on the zero-pod car. The subtle water slide on the top of the sidepod kinda looks like last year's Alpine.
The lack of stays on the floor is another obvious change for them from last year. And I don't remember the big scoop on the tip of the front wing either.
I doubt these would be the sidepods on the cars they will be running in a few days.
This looks good and weird at the same time. My brain is very confused
Nice to see them add some silver accent, now wait until we see a real picture and not this digital version.
I like the contrast of silver and black. Looks like a 'best-of' of the recent liveries.
The red Ineos parts are still hideous, though.
On the plus side it now looks less like a dog's.... Erm.... Lipstick.
Quite like that teal strip.
Really? I particularly dislike it. I think it's too much, too many colors. And it doesn't work well with the red imo.
Anyway I think I'm in the minority, most comments I've seen are positive towards it.
Yeah that's fine. People liked the VCarb livery, I didn't. Everyone has different tastes.
Really like the design, hopefully itโs also fast right away.
