Formula 1 2022 Car LaunchesFormula 1

Giorgio Piola seems pretty confident that the Aston Martin isn’t a good car, and the team knows it.

Here's his article from the italian motorsport.com and a bad translation from reddit.

Sand bagging? Vetttel to be champion again!
please, universe, just this one thing.

Aramco looks really good on the rear wing actually

The Aramco stickers are perhaps the most significant detail?
The car might end like trackside signage and get passed by other cars?
or it will be $uper $peed time for the team?

Hey cool, this is 1991 Minardi levels of gorgeously slow car.

It really does slap. I can't believe how dated cars from even 10 years ago look now.

 

[Veinz]

Looks kind of weird from this angle

Alpine is teaming up with BWT. Pink is confirmed being added to the livery.

The ex-Mercedes aero engineer has done a video for the Aston. It's super cool. There's a lot of small little details.

I quite like the look of these new machines. That Aston looks very sleek and futuristic, as will the other cars i'm sure. Minor gripe tho. That front wing is way too high for me, and it makes the front end look very awkward, from all angels really. And i understand why that is, cause they want to feed the underbody and diffuser with clean air, but still, it looks rather ungainly to me. Hope the other teams figure a way around that, and do something else with it.

I liked the McLaren intro

A river there, chief.

Reminds me a bit of the Orange Arrows from the early 00s... hopefully quicker.

Gorgeous livery. Very different concept to Aston, more conventional side pods rather than the almost floating ones on the Aston, interesting suspension design too.

 

[McLaren]

Haven’t had a chance to watch the unveiling, what’s the livery they showed where it’s more black and orange w/ Tezos on the side? Just a future one-off in 1 of the races?

I believe that's the livery for the McLaren Shadow eSports team.

Car looks slick, as does Danny's and Landos racing overalls. I hope some of that translates over to their merch this year. Also, Zak's lost some weight!

I feel like Mclaren missed the mark with this one a bit. The old blue looked better

 

[pumaATTACK]

much improved from last years livery! The new shade of blue works much better and the increased black is great.

 

[NotThePrez]

Looking at it a bit more, if I were to change anything, I'd give the driver numbers a black outline for better visibility. I'm all for the bold color palette, but at speed, the bright blue of the numbers and the lighter shade of orange will probably end up somewhat blending into each other. It definitely doesn't help that the number on the engine cover is both kinda small and pretty far back.

The first thing that went through my head seeing the McLaren is sad trombone noise.

The colours don't work with each other, makes it look like a back marker with a chimp for the graphics design.

huh??

The ride height of the Aston reminds of the 2008 Ferrari for some reason. Looks great on track from the shakedown photos and videos though.

Really like all the McLaren liveries too, especially love the look of the livery from the side view of the F1 car, if McLaren decide to do another one off Gulf livery using this template it'd look great too.

From F1, sharing an overhead comparison.

It would be interesting to see all 10 cars like this once they've all been revealed.

It doesn't look real.

Fast in a straight line with low drag, terrible everywhere else? Hopefully McLaren do better than that.

I don't like McLaren's livery though. Very tacky and unorganised to me.

I kinda like it. Probably because it looks like the kind of liveries I make in games with my limited artistic ability, which is probably also why people don't like it😂.

Definitely stands out and I think it'll be like the Williams last year where it will look a lot better on circuit. These cars look so different on track.

Looks like another show car. Lovely livery though, real Williams 2000 vibes.
