In a way, the fact that the “This is a cool spot” plea for sponsors never actually worked gives this livery even more charm. But that aside, from a design point of view this is just excellent. More teams should take a chance on design quirks like the chequered flag pattern and those fantastic [Read More]
To celebrate the relaunch of F1 Colours, here's a rundown of the ten best livery designs to appear in F1 since the site began in 2007. Controversy: guaranteed. [Read More]
HRT, then. Is this lovely, or is it hideous? I can't tell. I think it has elements of both. The initial joyous thought of "Wow, that's different!" gives way to disappointment when you start to scrutinise it a bit, I think. There seems to be no logical reason behind the choice of colours - there's certainly no new sponsor mandating it - and so it can't help but feel a bit arbitrary, or like they saw the unused 2007 Force India livery and thought "Hey, it's a shame that never made it to a race, let's do a tribute to it!"

Right, then. We’ve now seen all twelve of 2011’s Formula One liveries. I wanted to wait, before doing the usual summary post, until we’d seen them all running on track in testing – but frankly, from the looks of things we may not see the HRT in motion before Melbourne [Read More]

It could have been a simple yet effective white, with Spanish flag trim, as we imagine the Campos might have looked. [Read More]
Hello folks. Well, it’s been quiet around here lately, with the bulk of car launches taken care of – just the two as-yet-unconfirmed final slots on the grid to go, and not even a glimpse of a car during testing. There’s news on the horizon, though – USF1 sadly (or otherwise) [Read More]
The 2010 season is looking to be one of the most exciting in years for those of us interested in the changing face of F1 liveries – with four entirely new teams joining the grid, two others rebranding, and at least one other set to change colour scheme as the result of a defunct sponsorship [Read More]
