Is this the actual car design or are they only showing the livery?

Mtxzptlk · 02-17-2016, 02:15 PM

Today was just a livery launch.

According to reports, Red Bull just passed crash tests hours before the event.

jaco · 02-17-2016, 06:36 PM

Horners report that the Torro Rosso will be faster than the Red Bull cracked me up.

I expect Mercedes to walk away with it again this year, but Ferrari will be a lot closer to them than even last year. I don't expect Red Bull to be anywhere near Mercedes or Ferrari. Williams will be third, maybe feel a little bit of pressure from teams like Force India and possibly Sauber.

Sounds like another fantastic and exciting year for Formula 1! My heart rate has finally decreased a bit after the nonstop thrill ride from the last couple years! Maybe Hamilton will have it all wrapped up by the Summer break, can't wait to watch the incredibly close racing!

You ain't kidding. I watched Mexico, which I thought was a cool race to watch, but the rest of the season remains unwatched on my TiVo. First time that's happened in the 10+ years I've been watching.

Most likely Rosbergs last chance to become a champion, I think Vettel will take the fight to Mercedes & I would like to see McLaren & Jenson have a good season.

Is the RB matte or are my eyes deceiving me?

Yes it's matte. Wished the "RedBull" in red on the sidepods where outlined with yellow; then it'd be perfect.

RB livery is growing on me..

Chez · 02-18-2016, 05:25 PM

Frozen Red Bull Blue as a future individual color?

I just hope for some good racing, it's kind of been a snoozefest.

AW335TT · 02-20-2016, 02:36 PM

New Ferrari looking like it went on a huge diet over the winter.
