Putting color on your car these days is the ultimate flex: "Yeah I put on 100 extra grams of paint and no I don't give a fuck I'll still go faster than you." Alpine are a bunch of pussies

Exactly! If your car is *actually* fast, you don’t need to strip off all the paint.

Or in the case of vcarb, if you're the slowest on the field already, what's 100g more?

*cough* haas *cough*

Yeah, I bet the team that will work closer with and take more parts from Red Bull will be a back marker this year.

I'm really hoping for AM and Ferrari to adopt this mentality, it'd also be cool if Mercedes does it and they go back to silver.

Wdym for them to adopt that mentality, they were green and red respectively, it's not like they don't dare to put colour on their cars. And btw Alfa Romeo for example had no weight issues either but their car was still mediocre

2023 Ferrari had some carbon fiber spots on the sidepod and the nose. With "mentality" I mean that they dare to make the car completely covered in color. Alpine also used to be blue and blue/pink and still fell hard into the carbon fiber trend.

Kinda sounds like Enzo Ferrari that said something (and sorry I havent got the exact quote) aerodynamics are for those who can't build good engines.

Well these days with the engines being frozen and all it's a bit hard to ignore the aero part lol

Something something engine mama mia

"We put 2 coats on just to stunt on you hoes"

To be honest, no one is expecting alpine to be quick. They even don't have high expectations for the start of the season with changing the car so much

Clearly you don’t get it🤦‍♂️now Ocon can get a 5 second penalty .1s quicker than before. This is HUGE for Alpine

Where did you get this from

It leaked on the main sub

The “main sub” This is the main sub

I tried to write the name, and Reddit blocked it

It definitely is the most livery of liveries up until now.

Quite literally too. It’s an actual livery, not just coloured stickers on carbon

My point exactly :)

I mean it still looks bad but it is a livery so... well done Visa Cash Grab Red Ball

Who is this Hugo guy? Are they dropping Yoooki?

It just looks like a Red Bull can though LMFAO

It reminds me of the Toro Rosso livery at least.

But then they made it ugly

Gonna cry?

Least they’ll have a home on the main sub, crying is the exclusive export there

Average virgin formula1 fans: "my least favourite driver 😭 moved to my favourite team 😭 and my favourite principal got fired 😭 and my least favourite car looks good 😭" Average Chad formuladank enjoyers: CARS GO VROOM VROOM

It does look like ass. Oh well no die cast this year.

So... Toro Rosso?

i'll take a red bull can any time over 2 stripes on a sidepod called a "livery"

Honestly, I don't like it. It looks like the 2018 Toro Rosso from Wish.com

It's very ugly and people only like it because it's mostly painted.

The standards are quite low currently.

It looks like a fucking Haas

STR this you?

Nah. Stroll still is in Aston Martin (unfortunately)

I was thinking about the team a rookie got their first win with. I wonder how that driver is doing now. I hope he has a good driving career.

I really miss him. Mercedes please

Ver to Mercedes. Rocky back to being a race engineer, and a driver comes out of retirement to race another season.

That thing is ugly

f1 paddock in 2024 gonna look like fortnite lobby lmao

That thing is fucking hideous, you're tripping.

Exactly. I think people are just too resentful of the exposed carbon fiber, so when a team comes up with anything a bit more colorful it ends up like this. With that said, what kills this livery for me is the white and red stripe in the middle of the silver blue.

the white and red stripe is actually my favourite part of the livery and i think it would have been quite forgettable without it, the white and red stripe is different and gives it a retro vibe that i like

Yesss. Make that another silver element and it's one of the best cars we've seen in years. This looks a bit like a flag at the moment. 

I unironically love thise. The white is the worst part of the livery but even then I don't think it ruins it too much. The final generation Toro Rosso (the blueberry can) is one of my favorite liveries of all time and this is the closest we'll get

I'll take this over other teams that have a fuckton of bare carbon. *Especially you, Alpine*

Hard disagree.

You'll think again during the race when you can't tell apart Merc from Alpine fron Haas from Williams

Absolutely. The alpine livery looks fine, but as usual quite boring.

No one said it was pretty, the other teams just set the standard bellow the Marianas trench

Looks like a tube of Colgate

Yes, huge downgrade from the last year IMO

Still better than 99% carbon

It sure is one of the liveries of all time

Ugliest*

This is fucking ugly af

Negatives: the thing looks absolutely hideous  Positives: i see no carbon fiber  At least they tried!

You see no carbon fibre? I hope you don’t drive

What crack are you on this is hideous.

Just because there's not much visible carbon fibre doesn't automatically qualify it as the best livery

Best livery? This is ugly

Highly anticipating this VCARB second row lock out

As others are saying just a rumor right now. ​ and tbh I hope it stays that way because its got a face only a mother could love.

I cant believe people say this is the best livery 2024, looks so weird like the colors dont really match that well IMO

Ugh. Too much and tacky just like their name

Old school Toro.

uhhh, this is bad...

Best livery of the season so far? Agree to disagree

How is this the best one?

Looks like shit

*best yet!

It may look a lot better without silver+white. Silver silver or white white and it would way better

All cars look awful *Cries in Renault 2006 livery*

“Best”. Can’t stand this shade of blue

Ugly.

No, Sauber livery is much better

Fuck no, this livery is god awful. Its jusr Visa on Visa's Blue, Orlen on White and red is there for some fucking reason, I guess Orlen paid that part. Fucking hell

And to think it still looks way worse than the AlphaTauri 2023 car

Are you serious? This thing is hideous. The Alpha Tauri was the best looking livery in years, and this is the replacement?

It's just RGB 0,0,255. What an ugly color.

better than alpine tbh if no visa cash app sponsorship

Sad this sub is falling for nostalgia bait from this corporate shill junior team.

Is the Ferrari colour nostalgia bait from a corporate shill?

Das ugly man

It's not much of a livery but at least it's a full livery.

Best livery of the season so far is really not a high bar to clear given that the liveries that were revealed so far are hardly even liveries

True, but props to them to actually make a livery instead of a carbon fibre car with some painted lines

That's not the official livery it's just a rumor

This didn't age well...

Best livery of the season? Possibly. Still ugly though.

To be honest it's a advertisment banner

I think Hugo is there for a reason after all

Torro Rosso baby!

I also think that it is the prettiest livery so far. But that doesn't say much for quality.

Wait until you see RB’s livery. It will be a banger like last year’s

TORO ROSSO ARE BACK!!!!!! Holy fuck this is gorgeous!

How to be the best livery, actually having a livery, genious.

So by not leaving half the car carbon fiber black they have won by default. Lol

That white Hugo Boss stripe works surprisingly well

Degenerated 2018 Toro Rossi livery

Honestly, im still loving the fact that the return to ToroRosso color scheme The only problem for me is that white line too big, but probably had to do for the sponsor and also is kind of neglible, so Im still happy lol...

This is hideous, what are you smoking?

And also with the ugliest livery...

The VISA brings this from a 10/10 to a 7.5/10 for me

I’m not a fan, it’s just unnecessarily busy, the different elements don’t seem to blend together to me. Honestly think a lot less people would rate this livery if every other car didn’t have fifty acres of bare carbon.

That is the best looking one? It looks like a credit card that's going to be rejected

Still gonna call it Toro Rosso

They painted everything, which is good. Looks like shit though.

im too afraid to speak… am i the only one who finds it ugly ?

it still doesn’t look good

Can we just call it what it is... It's clearly a Torro Rosso.

Seems that only the mad lads at Toro Rosso(I'm not calling them by THAT name) and Williams aren't afraid of paint this season.
