Ah, so the divorce with the Renault – Nissan alliance has already begun?

Was already not present anymore in 2016 and 2017, so nothing new this year @phylyp

As expected the dull normal livery.
Still, the yellow tires look great on the photo, but in races it will probably more likely the purple, pink or green ….

Maybe they want to have their legacy colors/livery like Ferrari red of Mercedes silver…

Didn’t they said that the digital disruption, whatever that means, would stay? And they were just going to change the colours to the RB’s traditional scheme?

They said the unfamiliar shapes under the paint were here to stay. By that they mean the car’s AERO.

I’m just glad the bull got its tail back compared to the RB13 livery.

Why bother with a test livery if you aren’t going to test in it?

@fullcoursecaution It was a launch livery

Ah fair enough @mashiat
Thought they were going to run it for the first test like the dazzle livery a few years back

So, why can’t they use their cool launch liveries as their actual liveries? I thought Red Bull was aimed at the “younger generation” and yet they stick to the same sameness like some geriatric making sure they get to the 4:30 dinner buffet.

Completely agree here.
For a company that’s meant to be young and vibrant and impactful (my words, not theirs) it’s all about the corporate image.
The liveries are dull because of this. The drivers (all four of them) are forced to have a specific style of helmet (more so than others on the grid – except Force India). It’s a shame really. But we shouldn’t have expected anything different.

Yawn! Looks very boring has Red Bull lost its buzz as a company…..it is very staid and responsible not very energetic or youthful? Maybe only middle-aged people drink Red BUll now.

Hard to see it in these photos, but the Aston Martin wings on the rear wing looks great to me.
