By then it usually has some substance. Some of these other sites seem like the F1 internet equivalent of the Sun. I do find that "essentiallysport" site particularly poor, probably More Sunday Sport than Sun. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

daltonparva Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Just watched something on YouTube about Mercedes sticking with black for next year's livery; so although Hamilton not yet signed it looks like they presume he will. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Hopefully this is only, as they have stated, the Testing Livery, as I think it show NO imagination what so ever. I do hope that all the others will be as good as last year. The exception of course being the Pink Mercedes, Aston Martin have shown a Green tendency in the images so far and I hope it will be British Racing Green and Gold. Jaguar were the last to use BRG but with White writing if I remember correctly. Also of note, there will be very little time between Testing and the Race to re do the Colours, Launch it to the Media and repair any damage done to Body or Power Train from Testing. That also means re designing parts that fail or prove to be bad during the Test. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The green Jaguar was in 2000 IIRC, Caterham had a dark green colour scheme far more recently, until their demise in 2014ish. Agree it would be good to have a green Aston. Speculation abound that BWT will still want pink though. It’s certainly distinctive. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
