Can't wait then.

A "what if" by wtf1. It doesn't look that bad actually...

I do hope they keep the camo pattern.

F1 cars are bleeding edge. No reason for thier livery to be so dull.

Hell... be nice if more teams do "art car" style liveries, change them every few races.

Someone needs to email that to Christian Horner.

Covered by wheel and not enough space from top of the tub to the wheel mount probably

Steering wheel provides more room than the top edge of the cockpit ever could.

Well I'll be damned...

RB11 Race livery

Eh...it's alright, it's just a shame it's not a re-colouring of their testing livery.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

So, they promised to do something new, which apparently means that they turned the Red Bull logo thirty degrees.

 

[Legro]

Not exactly what I would call "even stronger" livery.

The purple doesn't do much for me. Personally just keep it blue

IMO the purple is just plain wrong.

Go red bull... yeeaaahhh...

 

[TheBook]

That diagonal RB logo really irks me, for some reason.

 

[niky]

Not a bad livery. Pretty good in fact, in a sea of corporate sameness.

Of course, if they'd never released that fantastic camo livery first, we'd be going "ooh... cool."

Instead, we're going: "I prefered the first movie to the sequel..."

 

[noshog]

It's all just same same really. Quite dissappointing really after the uniqueness of the testing livery. Why cant the teams be more creative, rather than pump out the same 🤬 year after year.

 

[GTPorsche]

That's pretty much like giving out expresso, and then saying they've got something stronger after that and giving out decaf.

That works in soo many ways, the closer you get to it the better it looks and also it allows the sponsers to be just as visable as the regular livery.

I preferred when the blue and purple were blended together around the sidepod. The turning of the red bull logo at the front does help the look of the nose to me though.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

They've had the purple on the car since 2013 for one and this year it's more tidy and looks a bit cleaner than say last year or before.

See how the blue just suddenly becomes a merged purple along the sidepods and rear wing upper structure for the 2013 livery

I really love this livery, but I also really like the 2015 one.
The camo was cool, but it was another black and white car in a field of mostly grey and white cars. Good to see they went with more colour this year!

 

[GTPorsche]

Red Bull wasn't going to run a black and white car. That's not what their brand is about.

It's always been purple behind the Infiniti logo, there's just more of it this year.

Overall no surprises in the livery, pretty much what everyone expected, I think? I do wonder though... considering Renault's woes last year, and given that they don't appear too quick in the traps this your... how long Nissan/Infiniti will continue their co-Renault branding on the car?

 

[prisonermonkeys]

I'm liking the livery more now that I can see it on television - I like the contrasting purple.
