Renaults new look
Well renault have unveiled their new car which has been doing ok in testing despite the couple of image I put up last week. There’s all the usual hype about the two times world championship team moving on etc, etc… blah, blah, blah… but the main difference (Apart from a decided unspanish driver lineup) is the colours. I think that it might actually make me feel sick. Why not put some lime green in there to really put us off.
Now I like clean simple designs and normally so do F1 designers (I’ll let the Red Bull guys off as they have had to design two different team looks from one logo) but this is some kind of horror car. I just hope that this isn’t the start of a move towards the kind of sponsership and designs that preveil on the other side of the pond and make it so hard to determine the difference between the teams.
I’m sure that the colours won’t effect the speed or the reliablity of the car but it might make some of the mechanics ill as they watch it fly past each lap. On the other hand perhaps it’s a seceret ploy so that when they come up behind Kimi, Alonso, etc… they can distract them easily. Maybe we’ll see more sunglasses on the grid from now on. What do you think hidden art or just plain rubbish?
Good Hunting
I prefer the blue emulsion look that they use for impact testing!!!
I hated it to start with, but I’m warming to it now.
Speaking of warming, it looks like one of those toy Matchbox cars which you can put in warm water and they change colour 
That is exactly what it looks like! Where you’ve dipped the back half in hot water and not the front!
Yuck!
There is just too much going on there!! - it doesnt even look proffessional, and it looses the team identity - I mean Ferrai red, McLaren (even with vodafone) still has that grey/black, etc. etc.
YUCK!
