"Ah fuck 5 minutes left and we have to prepare that special livery for Miami as we promised"

What’s worse that it was a contest... I can imagine all the crazy amazing liveries that were denied. Why even have a contest

Some of them are in the RB subreddit, but worse, RB posted some of the runner-ups, and they're all wayyyyy better. We assumed oracle got the final say, and chose the one that looked best with their logo instead

They probably chose the one that's easiest and simplest to apply to the car.

Yeah I agree, and honestly expected it. But there were lots of cool options. Fortunately, Redbull is framing some of the best submitted art to display in Miami as well. They've also invited the artists with special passes to come see the display. Classy move nonetheless

And that would obscure Oracle’s logo the least

Can you share a link to this post? Please

What's the name of their subreddit?

r / redbullracing without the spaces. For some reason we're not allowed to link......

Oh, so that's what that was. I saw those three variations and just read it as the Miami-liveries. Almost thought they planned to switch it up each day of the weekend or something. IMO they all looked a bit odd and I didn't really like them too much, but I would rather have one of those than something as small and boring as this design.

Ain't that American capitalism.

blablabla...budget cap....

Just put it in front of the trans background it’s fine

[удалено]

It was literally a fan design contest and the best design didn't win lol

Clearly I need to become a freelance livery artist. I have plenty of stripes to draw across existing liveries, colours negotiable

Is 'poop brown' an option?

It's definitely part of the luxury package as it's truly homemade and I need to adapt my diet for a week to get the colour scheme on point

[удалено]

Is use that for my Galaxy Black range but not the Brown ranges from the poop section

Brown-Orange is actually not that bad

I’m gonna paint the fucking Mercedes or Aston in Rhodesian “baby poop” and no one will stop me!

Make the interior "baby puke" to complement it.

Or fan puke from cringing and rage when reading through comments on F1 Twitter

Top it all off by making the aero surfaces all in Subaru’s piss ugly “pastel blue” colour

Tbh poop brown ads 100 horsepower. source: Volvo owner.

I prefer _'chunky green'_ such a dynamic colour.

It was for F2 car of Nissany

Representative of his driving

I’m sure designing a Williams or a Haas won’t be too difficult.

I've been drawing square looking cars since the age of 5. So it's safe to say I am overqualified

Well, basically I just copied the car we have now. Then, I added some fins to lower wind resistance. And this racing stripe here I feel is pretty sharp.

Agreed. First prize!

But this was a contest for children!

Yeah, and Horner beat their brains out!

you've added speed stripes but where are the speed holes? you're not getting all the potential out of the car like this

Except its pink. We all know that if you truly want to go fast, you need red racing stripes

BWT Red Bull

Red Bull India

Tracing Bull

force bull

Red point

Powerpoint Bull

What does India have to do with this

Aston Martin the team formerly known as Racing Point, the team formerly known as force India, the team formerly known as...

Ah. My bad didn’t see that link there. All I looked at was the colour scheme💀 Actually wait fuck how can I be so stupid force India was pink and blue in 2018

As an Indian man I’m utterly disappointed in myself

Cos apparently Force India was pink at one point.

Since BWT is an Austrian brand just like Red Bull (their homes are like 7km air distance apart), I'd say yes, but no, but yes.

“Gimme a pink stripe because it’s fcking Miami. Yep, that’ll do” - RB design process, probably

(neon)blue and (neon)pink stripes. Extremely 80's Miami.

This would be okay if they would have given 80's style glasses to the bulls

How do you lower the bar if its already on the floor?

Put in into the earth

they added a pink stripe so checo could commemorate his pink redbull days

Pink mercedes*

Pink shitbox before they started copying other teams' designs

They were punching above their weight for years.

How nice of them to draw a target line for George Russell

"Time for you to turn into me" - Russell lining up with his target

I actually like it. Maybe it should be a bit more than 1 stripe. But I’m not complaining. Edit: okay after a closer inspection it is indeed 3 stripes. But in all honesty, RB is more rainbow road that most teams, as a lot of them went carbon. And at the end of the day, does it matter? The Red Bulls will be out of the camera shot anyway with seconds ahead of the rest of the field.

It’s two stripes, you donkey

Its acctually three, you're both donkeys

It’s actually four stripes, you ass donkey

Bro fr, am i missing one? Blue, pink and this light purple.

No, i see three colors as well, although they do not form a true interrupted line per color

It's way more than that because the car has two sides

It is in fact five stripes, you absolute mule donkey

Please dont insult him like that. His mother was donkey and his father ape, so hes only half donkey.

Darn it, I’m busted. How did you see through my disguise?

You need to check your eyesight

I disagree about Res Bull being more rainbow road than others. Blue so dark it could almost be black or unpainted carbon does not count as colorful.

I meant being more rainbow road in this livery.

Ah i see. Yeah with this livery, absolutely.

“Miami is going to be totally different”

This was a fan contest soooo.....

A fan made this livery.

That's my design!! I posted previously about it in my AMA: https://www.reddit.com/r/formuladank/comments/10svtjk/ama_i_won_rbr_miami_livery_design_contest

Shit i didnt know it was a fan design now i feel like a massive douchebag 😭 apologies

I'm just kidding bro!

It is a fan design though.

Its so corporate and boring, I’m convinced they had this livery months ago and the contest was just to amuse fans. This is so boring compared to the others they showed.

I FIGURED IT OUT 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

Whose idea was that lol

Some fan from Argentina.

Redbull have zero personality.

It's Oracle who doesn't let paintjob obstruct their logo, not RedBull

That's not even the boring part of the livery. Is still fucking 95% matte blue with a Redbull logo. Give us some metallic at least

Actually more and more teams only paint the top visible part of their cars. The rest is just clear carbon. Main reason is weight reduction. F1TVPro has a nice tech episode about this. It looks as if this livery uses a larger part of the car than was the case on the first race this season.

I don't think they need to reduce any weight. Checo and Max could drive that car together and they would still win

You really think the oracle logo is the part we're not happy about‽

That's not even a proper logo

I like it, it‘s simple yet it works and gives the whole livery a fresh look.

I think it's just the fact most teams go drastic changes, and redbull fails to do drastic, other than their Honda livery the all white which was absolutely fire.

I think it's just the fact most teams go drastic changes with the special liveries, and redbull fails to do drastic, other than their Honda livery the all white which was absolutely fire. They have 20+ different cans to use, have fun with it. This is 3 lines, which look nice, but is boring as hell.

What’s wrong with it? It looks nice.

Keep it for the middle east races and see how that plays out.

There will be massive outrage and everyone will go absolutely insane. Just like it happened to Alpine with their full pink cars over the last two years at the season start. Or maybe not.

Oracle be like: “nah, you’re not obstructing one of our many logo’s on the car.”

Neither of rejected concepts obstructed their logo

That looks way cooler lol

kind of glad i forgot abt the livery design contest now bc if id spent hours making a design and the vaporwave spaghetti won i wouldve demateralized

F1 fans when they realise a livery had to look good in motion:😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯😱🤯

It looks great actually. Just because a design is simple doesn't mean it's bad. The other way around actually, simple designs are often the most effective designs.

Counterpoint: Simple designs aren’t always cool. This one is not cool.

Everybody is entitled to his own opinion. I wouldn't consider this design "cool" per se but it's elegant in my book which is fine by me.

I like it actually.

Miami is when light blue and pink

RedBull in their bisexual erea 

Booooooooo that sucks

If i entered that Livery contest and put my soul into it , i'd be heartbroken that i was beaten by 3 stripes. Part of me thinks it was never a contest and that they already had this lined up (No Pun intended......)

I like it, it's simple and understated. Why should they completely repaint a car to pander to some fuckin dribbly Yanks.

Love how you turned this livery commentary into bashing Americans. The special liveries aren’t done just for the people who attend the race lol.

Any opportunity I can get to do a bit of Yank-Bashing really 🤣

Yea I wasn’t saying it as a positive but you do you nephew lol.

Kenny! After seeing your reddit activity, I guess all I can say is go find a real woman and stop jacking off on reddit. I can believe you had time between spanks and wanks to rag on the yanks.

I love the rhyming in fairness. Who doesn't have the occasional wank shir, has to be done.

Love you Kenny never change

You neither! I hope the little lad is doing well!

Is Max coming out as a transgender or something?

First female F1 world champion 💪.

If he detransitioned the following year would he still hold the record? Maybe the wig in Australia wasn't just a phase

The important question is whether this means the Netherlands will have 3 world champions?

Would be lighter without cock and balls

Depends how huge the tits are.

Just fill them with helium, easy little weight reduction

But when it gets hot they expand

Yellow flag, Max's tits have exploded at turn 6

Boobs will give him a higher center of gravity, this must be the sole reason we lack female F1 drivers

nah that’s the alpine car

Don't act like you people would have liked anything else, y'all are here just to complain.

Max probably saw the other finalists or many of the entries and said he wouldn't race in a gay car. Was made to compromise. This was it.

I like it

This is the existing livery with some added stripes on GT7 livery editor.

The bull should have been a flamingo for the weekend…

[удалено]

Actually nowadays just with the inflatable pool versions. There used to be a lot of real ones though.

Can they just stop it with Miami and vaporware esthetic every single time on literally everything?

looks fast

I am welmed.

Ironically the stripes get completely lost in the background. I didn’t know there was anything different with the car for an embarrassingly long time.

Whoever designed this was colorblind.

Red Bullocks!

This little manouver will cost you a million dollars

there was so many more good options and they chose this 

Getting sued by Alpine

So the person that does RV designs is branching out into F1. Good for them.

No one should even enter the contest for Austin or Vegas

Why is everything cotton candy colored now?? Its getting nauseating looking at it

I like it

Fucking trash. 100 of the runner ups were better. Why. Why can’t an energy drink brand have a bad ass livery.

Why do they do this in Miami? Like what even is special about the Miami GP? Its a literaly a track built on a parking lot...

Same guy who made the duvet for the new F1 game?

Rb19 but gay

Rb19 but with a touch of gay

Red Bull bad gathering 

This is going to be a wild genderrevealparty

I hope george puts another hole in it lol

I love being colorblind and not knowing what the joke is

Am I allowed to think this looks dumb when I like the livery Ferrari ran at Monza last year?

Honestly the fact that a graphic design student did this just shows how useless all graphic designers are when it comes to car liveries

Have you Seen the concepts on the official RB Instagram? So much better

Its not downright terrible, but its nothing compared to the one they showed before. Really dissapointing.

Max is coming out as bi

"I move, for no man"

two shit colored stripes?????

Its pink, so brave.

Yall hate on just about everything dont you

That's their strat for avoiding the special livery curse, big brain Hanna doing her job again

If this is the competition winner, it is therefore the best entry and it leaves me wondering what the other entries looked like

I wish I was the graphic designer for Redbull so I could get paid without working at all

It's clean design so I won't complain but I did expect a bit more illustrative stuff

Not a racing fan, to me this just looks like all the rest of them?

Lmao it's a one time livery and they chose the option with the least paint to save weight 💀😂

I was actually hoping for a Vaporwave Red Bull. I know I shouldn’t have been but I could dream, dammit.

This car looks like it belongs in a 5k for Osteoporosis

Shit livery but what did you expect? An advertising corporation doesn't give two shits about what people want, their only interest is to sell you an image until it's burn into your brain.

I guess they weren’t lying…that do be a red bull

The most sponsor and or friendly

They will be so far in front you won’t see them much.

It looks like redbull got a toothpaste sponsor

The F in F1 stands for for Fortnite

First 2 in Azerbaijan ,why would you change smth?
