A lion could jump out of the fireplace right this moment, too.

Better keep the flue closed.
We do one better by having a speaker in the fireplace. :woot:

We're midway through the 2024 livery launches and we've seen some nice designs. Lots of joking on social media about the increase in carbon black schemes. The cars will definitely have a darker look this season.

Among the new looks so far, Sauber...

Haas will look the same as last year = slow :smug: Kidding aside, they're going with basically the same paint scheme as 2023.

The remaining liveries will be revealed this week... Aston, McLaren, Ferrari, Mercedes and Red Bull. Max already revealed his team's car will look the same as last year's... while I'm reading there will be more white mixed into Ferrari's livery.

I love the Ferrari... the yellow and white lines are a nice add... but those red wheel covers need to be black.

The Mercedes is nice... sort of a combination of the old silver cars and the more recent black cars...

McLaren is similar to last year's and another half-carbon livery that everyone is whining about...

Red Bull will unveil their '24 car tomorrow and it's already been confirmed by Max that it will look very similar to their recent cars regarding livery.

What do you folks think? What's your favorite?
 
There appears to be a lotta F1 fans out there who are frustrated seeing a car "half-painted" with a lot of carbon fiber showing... instead of a fully painted/wrapped car.

Oh well. I think it can look great if done well, personally. Love the Ferrari and the Aston, especially. Orange and black, yeah, not so much. ;)

I think they all look awful. Cluttered, fussy, and way overdone. Red Bull almost looks OK, but matte black isn't a racing car color. Too much high fashion going on.

I'm a crank. Pardon me. There are some clouds on my lawn that need to be shouted at.
 
First race this weekend in Bahrain.
Do you watch the races live or replay?
We use F1TV and watch as we can, so no spoilers please.
We also looked at the testing week highlights as well as some of the shorts.
Depending on what time the race airs here I either record and watch later, or watch in real-time.
