I think that halo should be painted with the same colour like the rest of the car, otherwise I dig the new livery ,its a vast improvement IMO. Nice to see Alonso happy again, at least we should see him having some good battles with the front runners.
The halo is better black why would you want to paint it so we can notice it more? It’s less noticeable in black, I like the livery like this it’s perfect :). But yeah Alonso’s face said it all, excited to see him battling again.

I think FIA should mandate to paint the halo different per team mates because in speed its difficult to see the helmet now....

Driver number on the V shaped bit would be a start and then colour coded flashes on the top of it (similar to how cameras have been colour coded).
Favourite driver: Lando Norris
Favourite team: McLaren

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

It doesn’t even have to be the halo, they could just color code the camera pods again red and yellow

Sky:
RED FLAG: McLaren spins out after 5 laps
Wow, Fernando Alonso in the gravel at the final corner...with wheel off the car.

The McLaren is in the gravel trap and one of the wheels has detached itself from the car.

Oops

ALONSO WAS GOING FASTEST
Alonso was on a purple lap before the incident. He literally drove the wheels off the car.

The MCL33 can't be that fast, right...?

ALO: "It's a very good start, I've noticed potential, it's early to talk about performance, but everything seems to be in line with our expectations of the wind tunnel and the data prior to this test, right now, everyone is pretty optimistic "#BARCELONATEST #SOYMOTOR

He cut the whole of the last chicane. A Toro Rosso was holding him up
