[ 2020 ] AMG Mercedes F1 Team - Mercedes

[Holm86]

Livery Launch today

[bosyber]

Well, so far it is very exciting as these things are, for most of us, isn't it?

It is though a good opportunity for the team to show they are in F1 to stay, so I guess let's call it a strong showing for the PR departments of team and of the larger company (and anyone who champions F1 inside the comp.), as sir Ratcliffe clearly said he is here because of the changed image 'not a taxi' the past to where it's interesting for him.

And now Toto given opportunity via a question to sell Liberty doing good job to get (online audience, nexflix series) new, young, diverse audience in, ie. inforces the message.

LOL - will you be at F1 races more now - sir Jim: well, the calender has quite a few .(!) but yes, definitely Monaco, UK

okay, not transcribing, but that was a fun little bit

edit: eh, the stream abruptly cutting out, not so great perhaps?
edit2: well, nice change to see the drivers not having to hold up the cars slips but instead the team manager and sponsor - eh, yeah,so I like the red there, but,hm, the rest of the car, a bit less than last year - the back, those stars look a bit too big and obvious, unlike last year, the turquoise line seems a bit bland this way. Well, it's still a Mercedes, so brand recognition?

[Holm86]

It's not a very well prepared stream

looks not really surprising

[bosyber]

Oh, the added Turquoise on the underside of the undercut does look fun, but hm, no, the stars are too much, and seem like the car has a bit of a rash (goosebumps?). Well, I guess they are consistent.

[astracrazy]

Looks crap. They have gone from last years which was prob the best yet, to now one of the worse.

[Sieper]

I like the stars. This year they are even more graphical. Turquoise is a color I never really liked and this years quite solid implementation does not do it for me, nor does it match with the INEOS red.

The floor is more interesting than the car, being less GREY!!

The Turquoise always looked ok when it was a blended "glow", looks awful as a solid line.

[bosyber]

Yep, agree, I preferred the turquoise as a glow too.

By the way, the two INEOS logos on the halo look cramped and awkward; doesn't sponsor AMD also feature dark red (sure probably slightly different pantone) - in which case, why not go with a red HALO, integrate it nicely, like the Indy aeroshield liveries?

I mean, it's still probably better than they had before 2018 (wasn't that when the stripe came in like that, with less of a blotch of turquoise on sidepod?), but not so much an improvement over last year.

size of those front wing endplates!

[bosyber]

size of those front wing endplates!

Do you mean the red emphasises their size? because otherwise, recall the endplates are just about fixed in size and also, this is last years car, and thus all cars of last year had them, and probably all cars of this year will have them again too. In 2021 they are actually larger, I think, but not as rectangular, so maybe that will make them appear less massive.

[jumpingfish]

It seems they've used W09 with 2019 front wing from early winter testings. Is it because front wing from w09 was not so good (much more details on it) to show this livery
