New Alpine press conference going on, that's not a bad looking ride



Edit: Oh, apparently F1 want to restrict anyone from watching their content anywhere but on the actual Youtube website... well, there you go, I'm sure that was beneficial to... I dunno, someone.

A424 is a nice looking GT car, just about to unveil the F1 car by the look of it - LINK

The pink camo teaser piqued my curiosity. This could have been far cooler & unique. Shame. What a let down.

They just revealed a pink livery as well, which is mostly carbon with pink highlights

Edit - best image I could grab while I'm supposed to be working

Hot off the presses - Ocon has spent his downtime go-karting with Zidane and Gasly went to see the Woolwich v Liverpool match... I don't know why I'm watching this other than work got dull

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Yeah - the "race" to drop the weight and go with plain carbon fiber is going to create a lot of cars with black

 

[Rocksuperstar]

Dooooooooooooohan! Glad he's involved with a decent team. The family name aside, he seems like a cool bloke.

Whats this? An actual colored car? You mean to tell me F1 didn’t ban them? That’s seems odd. We sure about that?

RB as in Red Bull? Wow that's actually quite a different livery for them.

Oh, apparently RB is the new name for Alpha Tauri team.

On BBC there is a gallery of all the new cars' liveries that have been revealed

Was this what the VISA account was prepping to announce? I saw a VISA thing on Facebook advertising, using the Red Bull hashtag, but assumed it was something to do with their partnership, didn't realise they were main sponsor this year.

Looks similar to an old Tyrrel livery or something, I like it.

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Its not that Red Bull.

Its the Baby Bulls - they have rebranded for this year with Visa Cash App as a primary sponsor.

So basically every third car on the F2 grid then. Started to get tough working out which team was which with so many RB liveries

Rolls off the tongue doesn't it....Visa Cash App RB Racing! lol

Its sounds better when you use it to introduce Danny Ricciardo of the Visa Cash App RB Racing team - Ricciardo might be the funniest guy on the grid, in fact, some people call him a master card...

I'll be here all week, don't forget to tip the waitstaff...

That Red Bull looks like a Williams. Stick a bit of yellow or gold on it and it’s back to the 90s.

 

[Rocksuperstar]

So far then, we have Haas looking like a Mclaren from 10 years ago, the Williams looks nice, Alpine with their carbon inspired designs, the bright green Sauber, Alpha Tauri now racing as RB and the villainous looking Aston - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/68248880

And now the Ferrari - https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/...f-the-2024-season.79KFzkY0o32TU2cULfRzm7.html - Honestly? The stripes on the Ferrari look amazing, imo.

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

At least McLaren kept papaya as the primary color, and Ferrari the red. Mercs add back a splash of silver, but will still be predominantly black from the side view.

 

[tobi]

I like the Ferrari, Mercedes and CashApp liveries.

The new McLaren livery is kind of meh.

Red Bull launch will be streamed live at about 7.30 this evening;

Link because F1 don't like embedding.

It'll likely be an hour of waffle and highlight reels and graphics and hype then five minutes talking about the car.

 

[Rocksuperstar]

I'm still staggered at how much I like the stripes on the Ferrari. I used to be one of those "Spurs shirts should be all white" in the same way "Ferraris should be all red" but I take it back. The yellow/white stripes really pop.
