Delete the extra quotes it's messing up your replies. I think rick messed up the first one trying to cut down my first quote and it perpetuated from there.

Will Merc ever bring back traditional silver arrows livery?

It is iconic.

I think they are this season. If you look at their IG during George's seat fitting you can see the head rest section/fairing is painted silver.

That's what I just read and explains why HAM is crawling back in quietly through the back door.

Alfa has had a little filming day. Similar concept to the AMR / AT et al so far. McLaren seem to have a very different concept unless the bodywork changes for the first track or they have a big update for the first race potential they some have muted.

That and the large gap between the tarmac & bottom of the wing looks weird.

Hasn't happened yet, they're meeting on Monday to discuss and the speak now is that Fia will be shooting themselves in the foot by giving in to outside pressure in replacing Masi.
Journo Joe Saward has his doubts that it will happen because what reinforces this is the fact that stewards rejected Mercs appeal in Abu dabi.

Also, the williams reveal was a fake demo car just for the livery. The real deal will be at silverstone's shake down.

Maybe everyone else but LEC & SAI

I do like RUS. Seems like a good dude who definitely paid his due at Williams.

Wondering if Ham is going back to a yellow lid? It would be odd if both wore black.

Nah GR gonna go for the win, mostly because I still don't trust binotto and ferrari.

I have no idea what Ham's helmet will look like, but since the car is likely going to be silver I would expect that yellow, orange, white helmet design to come back. Although those last few purple helmets looked good too imo. I personally wished the car stayed black, when I first saw the W11 in black I was like dang this looks really good.

If MB go back to silver it could possibly be one of the least appealing cars on the grid to look at.

Still waiting on Ferrari

Yeah I think mb looks better black, like so much better. I think silver is a bit bland, black and purple was really nice, add some more Ineos red highlights and it would look even better. Overall I personally thought pervious models of the Mercedes in Silver looked just average, black really made them pop.


I'm keen to see alpine go pink this year, it could either be good or it could be ugly, since I liked their Pepsi color lasted year.



Let's hope Ferrari makes their red pop this year, and no more ugly green tramp stamps.

•I didn't said anything in my post from above . What I said perviously was that currently all the cars are fake F1 cars .

•The first (partly) real thing is for March 12 at Bahrein , and between March 12 and March 20 for the first race at Bahrein , the cars will look different again by new updates .

•The Red Bull RB18 will remain a kind of concept car for the rest of the season , the car will get continuously track specific technological and aero updates for every race track .
And who knows ...A car with a variable ground-effect is perfectly possible !
