Yuk! what's with the 'black is the new black' treatment? I loved the bright /in your face yellow of previous seasons. The sport is greatly underhanded when it comes to color variation these days. What with an ugly uncharacteristic navy blue RB, the ever so unoriginal silver treatment for the McLarens and Mercedes and the rest of the cars on the grid, with a pretty much slight twist to an otherwise plain white paintjob...the only car that still has some spunk is the Ferrari .
F1 needs more color! Surely this might not warrant too serious of a conversation compared to other performance related subjects but I think it deserves a mention as a side note!

I love the black/gold it looks sinister. However I hate HATE HATE the red blocks on the top of the front wing I don't know why they decided to make all the car's colors coordinate when put those red blotches.

your point im making fun off.

The first two quotes totally contradict your third, i just didnt know how you didnt spot it.

As you dont actually seem to know what im on about. You talk about variation of color and color variation, and then highlight ferrari as good example, despite being the only car to never change its colour, not just change it, it doesnt vary. Its just red.

I like the new color. It has some "Come to the dark side, we have cookies!" moments...

Some like it and some don't but the colors of a car I think you would agree have nothing to do with their performance which is the most important aspect .

I think the OP is talking about variation in colour between the cars on the grid at the same time, rather than variation between the same car year after year.

bingo! thank you

[Tsakali]

and yes i don't have an issue with black , i'm just disappointed that one of the more prominent and fun looking cars on the grid was the one that chose to make the change to black

Hey dont act like its my fault! If your arugment is totally contradicting to your point.

If that is the case, the only examples i can think of are mercdes and mclaren, red bull and torro rosso. None of the rest look alike, therefore surely are quite caried.

I'll offer you a simple solution, get over it !! F1 is not a fashion show (for true racers) and the race results are more important .

[Tsakali]

you're no fun

I'm more performance than looks and I respect your opinion but dang that black livery is cool I think. Albeit it is not true Lotus colors atleast they (Lotus Renault) are easy to pickout right?

Welcom to te forum ,

but dang that black livery is cool I think.

i like the new color. MUCH better than the Renault 08-09 car scheme........ just by the looks you could tell that car was slow.
