The overalls and those Martini stripes on top of the helmet looks so cool!!

I agree that more color would have been nice, but i still think this is my favorite livery in the paddock. Granted that isn't saying much.

They designed a new logo which you can see on the nose tip

They could perhaps have been a bit more creative with the Martini stripes on the car. But I really like that the car is mainly white. Also really like the FW and RW being dark blue.

I would prefer a "bluer" livery as well.
But the "whiter" one is also great!...To me it refers to the old school F1 (e.g. Martini-Brabham).
IMO, with this livery, this car is the coolest of F1 2014.

I just noticed the front wing is black. Don't know why, but I like it. That probably would have been WAY too much white.

In Kiril's embedded tweet above ^ the FW looks dark blue, definitely a different shade from the tires. But in the launch event photo, the wings look black.

I think that's a lovely thing. Best looking car on the grid and we won't mix it up with any other car. =D>

if it's blue, then it's VERY dark. Darker than the blue of the outer stripe and driver numbers. Having that many shades of dark blue would be weird. In that twitter pic just above, it looks the same shade as the tires.

Agreed, I think the at least the FW/RW endplates are dark blue.

In addition to the blank sidepods, the front wing flaps are also blank: Oris and Experian have moved. I thought Martini was going to take the spot, but apparently not.
I think the team must have at least one more sponsorship coming, but couldn't finalize it in time for the launch.
