While I very much liked the darker colours which they sported during winter testing, I think these new colours are a bit of a throwback to the late 90's, and for that reason, I like them a lot! I'd like to think the car will be fast to go with it.

i really like the new livery and it makes the car a bit less ugly especially in the front end...but what about those two winglets on the sides of the cockpit?!

Yeah, as I said in the 2009 season topic, I'm not too keen on those wings on the cockpit edges myself, but I can live with them for now if it makes the car faster.

But I love that lighter shade of blue. :)

Unless they want teams to spend time looking in to those instead of other areas of the car.

I really like the colour as shown on the factory pics
wasnt really a fan of the recent dark blue or the BMW colours before, if it was anything like the rothmanns blue Id be happy as that is one of my all time favourites.
the white looks a bit splashed on, but can live with that.

although the pics of it in the williams factory look lighter than the shots of it being tested on track over the last few days :(

and still theres nothing about it on the williams website.

They are legal - or at least within the dimension boundaries - however there is apparently an issue with bodywork that close to the cockpit, so if they got banned it'd be most likely that they were banned on safety grounds.
