Just as ugly as their ridiculous team name.

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

At least it's mostly painted, unlike the Alpine and some other cars.But that's about where the positives end

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Well they don't have to win so all in on the sponsorships

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

'Uninspiring' comes to mind.

I mean, you are the most boring team already. Go do something new and interesting with your car design at least!

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Side profile is nice! Front shot does look a bit fucked up but to be honest I prefer this over yet another boring largely carbon "modern" look snorefest!

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Agreed - the white stripe in front of the cockpit looks off to me, but from the side it'll stand out nicely from all the carbon out there on track this year.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

From the side it looks very close to the last Toro Rosso livery before they switched to AlphaTauri

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I'm all about that. Loved the TR liveries.

[โ€“] UrPartnerInCrime 0 points 11 months ago

From the front I kinda see a star. Maybe it's just the American in me screaming out USA though

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I didn't like the livery much in the TR days, but by 2024 standards it's a masterpiece.

I'm surprised so many people dislike it. I think it's the best so far, by a lot. It actually looks like a race car this time instead of a myTeam livery. Really seems like they were inspired by the New York Rangers' uniforms. I love how the stripes are outlined with red and how they suggest the car is leaning forward from the side. It's even far better than the muted colors they had in the last couple of years.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

I agree. I think the blue/indigo/periwinkle color is different enough from other blues to stand out. And the patterns/striping of the other colors is far more interesting to look at than any of the other liveries.

It's a lot better than the solid color patch surround by black on the other cars.

[โ€“] guylacaptivite 1 points 11 months ago

Exactly. I've seen way too much praise for the Sauber which I think is a step backwards in livery design once your monke brains gets used to the aggressive color.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Iโ€™m with you here, this looks great, and is a huge improvement over the AT livery. Thereโ€™s just enough going on to catch your eye, but not too much noise for the sake of shapes and patterns.

Looks like a classic livery, and thatโ€™s what I like.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

AKHTUALLY itโ€™s Visa Cash App RB F1 livery for you, peasant.

welcome back Toro Rosso

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Yep that's a toro rosso

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

The design's too busy for me - way too many colours.

At least it has colours tho and isn't just 50% black.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I get it, $ $ on the front wing is an art symbolizing the F1 management.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I like the design much more than the new name

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

That's a really low Visa Cashapp bar โ„ข๏ธ though

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

So most cars will be either black or blue.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Something about it screams 90's.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

A few years ago the silver and blue Toro Rosso was the best looking car in person. This seems bleh but I will reserve judgement until I see it in person.
