[clever wedge]

[burnt pilot]

I mean I’m thinking half and half

Make it this

[snow swan]

I want it silver this year

[haughty onyx]

is it covid again or what?

there is no reveal with interveiw and press etc and camera

just stupid photos

its silly

[burnt pilot]

Probs an excuse to cut costs

[pine turret]

Your pfp lmao
Average Mercedes fan after 2021

[haughty onyx]

actually fan after november 2023

[unborn lava]

1 hour

Until I see green car

[formal urchin]

it would be funny if it looks like the Stake car

[haughty onyx]

the mclaren is the same car as last year

[atomic topaz]

What time is the launch?

[vast laurel]

Depends on where you live

[atomic topaz]

Yeah obviously, give me in ur time and ill just convert it over

Or u could've said it like that

Thx

[tawny mason]

I think it is a full launch

I much prefer the 1 minute videos though! Short, sweet and TO THE POINT!

Yes it’s a full launch

Black

All the teasers and the weight saving points to black

[slow wagon]

I need em to not blabber for like an hour tho show the car then blab idc

[tawny mason]

Is that the guy who beat 7x champs Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher in equal machinery?

[burnt pilot]

How long left

[snow swan]

<t:1707905700:R>

[burnt pilot]

Damn

They launching at 10:15??

[snow swan]

the launch itself might be a little later, the yt stream starts at this time

[burnt pilot]

I’d assume at 10:30 or 11 then

10;15 is a weird time

[crude flame]

The release of the car and stuff is at 10:30

[snow swan]

take 10:30 cause i doubt they expect us to watch random stuff for 45 mins

[burnt pilot]

True

Not long left then

All we got after that is rb

[snow swan]

mclaren too

[burnt pilot]

They dropped

[snow swan]

WHAT

[burnt pilot]

Like 45 mins ago

[snow swan]

tf 😭

[burnt pilot]

They were very random this year

They legit just unveiled in a few pics and called it a day

[vapid barn]

wait so

its dripped

dropped

[burnt pilot]

Ye

Check Insta

It’s there on the F1 account

[vapid barn]

too much effort tbh 😭

[snow swan]

dudeeeeee smh

[burnt pilot]

And mclaren too

[vapid barn]

might just wait until the grand prix to see

[vapid barn]

didnt mclaren drop like early feb

[burnt pilot]

[vapid barn]

just looks like last year

no blue

looks like a duracell battery

[burnt pilot]

It’s laT years chrome livery

Without chrome

[vapid barn]

It's not too bad

what're your thoughts on it

[burnt pilot]

I quite like it

I think it’s a nice clean livery

Is it one of their best ever? No not really

They have done way better liveries with the papaya and blue before

But I think it’s still a nice livery to run

[slim chasm]

so... double Q1 elimination at Bahrain?

[burnt pilot]

Nah

That’s haas

Mclaren on top fr

Or 5-6 after the rb train

[haughty onyx]

They added extra 20min to the stream wtf

[fast hawk]

My issue with McLaren is that none of the lines line up with each other.
Blue is where they currently go
Red is where ideally they should go

[burnt pilot]

Oh no

[snow swan]

parallelism

[surreal meteor]

yeah idk why this happens so often with F1 schemes

[burnt pilot]

It’s the angle we view at im pretty sure they affects it

[surreal meteor]

the lines either don’t match each other, or don’t match the car, or both

[burnt pilot]

Cos it tapers around the cars contours

[surreal meteor]

it’s frustrating

[burnt pilot]

To solve it let’s make the car completely carbon

[surreal meteor]

at least they go the right direction unlike 2019 😭

[fast hawk]

Yeah the rear I can understand, the mid part is frustrating but I get it because sponsor on airbox, but still

[burnt pilot]

I liked that livery quite a bit

[surreal meteor]

it was very popular

never personally understood but everyone’s entitled to their own taste

[languid storm]

I might loose it if merc do the 2023 livery again

[snow swan]

music

[empty anvil]

let's go

[lean crow]

mclaren new car looks nice

[lean crow]

[toxic siren]

Damm

[summer drum]

[toxic siren]

Shown off the bat.

[agile rover]

they just whipped it out like that?

[inland kernel]

THEY LAUNCHED IT STRAIGHT AWAY.

[stiff bough]

I like it.

[toxic siren]

No foreplay from Merc 💀

[lean crow]

i think they forgot the cover

[inland kernel]

LIKE FERRARI DID

[cursive jolt]

AYO

[surreal meteor]

for what it is, that's actually pretty sick

[tall tapir]

Lmaooo

[unborn lava]

Silver black

[cursive jolt]

ITS KINDA SEX

[empty anvil]

no foreplay gawddamit...

[toxic siren]

I like it.

[native sentinel]

I like it

[blazing cargo]

Silver Nose, Black sidepods

[agile rover]

they didn’t even edge it wow

[surreal meteor]

kept all the same elements, but it's executed very well

[past wren]

hmmmmm

[blazing cargo]

Combination of 2022 and 2021 car

[unborn lava]

I LOVE IT

[inland kernel]

IK RIGHT

[empty anvil]

makes Ferrari look like a great foreplay....

[tall tapir]

Wait is this just the livery or the whole car

[slow wagon]

It's just fine. Thoroughly acceptable. If that's all carbon tho god I do not look forward to her outside

[summer drum]

tiktok attention spans done ruined the wait for reveals

[surreal meteor]

feels a bit McLaren West in that shot

[tawny mason]

SILVER??

[agile rover]

they rlly just got straight to business

[summer drum]

"here it is"

[ionic frost]

The hell is this livery

[tall tapir]

Fucking hell thats sex

[hushed bison]

its beautiful

[crystal heron]

Car looks good

[lean crow]

beautiful

[agile rover]

it looks like a concept livery

[slow wagon]

It's a car indeed

[empty anvil]

is it wrong to say that it is a little too much black?

[stiff bough]

It's giving..

[lean crow]

what we rating that? number 1 or second to ferrari?

[snow swan]

its weird

but i like it

[latent ice]

this is wcc btw (+ WDC)

[hushed bison]

i like it more than ferrari

[slow wagon]

Below Ferrari just because I'll actually be able to tell Ferrari apart from every other car on the track

[agile rover]

formula e mentioned🔥🔥🔥‼️‼️

[empty anvil]

kinda want that Silver to be prominent like the old silver arrows

[toxic siren]

It kinda fucks ngl.

[strong cloak]

That’s a great way of mixing silver and black imo

[lean crow]

fair

[narrow garnet]

it looks fire from the front

[lean crow]

hopefully its fast

[last bramble]

that is glorious

[ionic frost]

Kinda weird to mix 2 liveries together

[agile rover]

redbull will have a good view of the car in their rear view

[toxic siren]

Let's not go that far.

[blazing cargo]

Why does George look like Brendon Fraser from the 2000s

[narrow garnet]

side view is a bit eh

[inland kernel]

Nyck Devries Vibes

[narrow garnet]

but the front, my god

[lean crow]

yeah it looks weird but still beautiful fr

[toxic siren]

Make it nice and slow so I can see the beauty of the livery.

[lean crow]

we needa go THAT far

[surreal meteor]

I do? /j

[fast hawk]

Mercedes actually decent???

[vague light]

SILVER IS BACK

[uneven cradle]

the Mercedes looking hot

[blazing cargo]

☠️

[snow swan]

better than last seasons boring ass livery

[old snow]

IT'S BLACL

[blazing cargo]

Looks amazing from the front

With Petronas colors

[agile rover]

the nose is real strange looking

[empty anvil]

at this rate.... if RBR has exactly the same livery as last year.... it'd be rated as a really good livery right now... too much black :/

[summer drum]

thast front nose looks 2021-esque

[hollow ether]

New w15

[summer drum]

like its straight not curved

[vague light]

interesting

[craggy rivet]

nahh thats w20

[hushed bison]

i think it will be fast

[vague light]

the w15 might be like the w11

[hushed bison]

it looks fast

[vague light]

MAYBE

[narrow garnet]

the front is so fucking good, the rest of it though is... eh, fine I guess

[vague light]

it looks fast

interesting

[hushed bison]

someone cooked in terms of aerodynamics

[boreal comet]

Why the front wing looking like they ripped it off a pre 2022 regulation car

[sudden niche]

....CABRON

[cursive jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/walter-white-let-him-cook-cook-cooking-breaking-bad-gif-27522167

[sudden niche]

At least the nose has silver

Kinda is an arrow now

Black body, silver tip

[empty anvil]

keep in mind, in there's a very critical update, they'd use old 2023 starter spec for stuff like this... so the nose will likely not carry through to testing

[boreal comet]

That’s what she said

[hushed bison]

the car looks amaizing on all terms

[stray axle]

cabron fibre

[brave tree]

SOMEONE COOKED HERE

[hushed bison]

livery and aerodynamics itself

[summer drum]

yeah the front wing seems heavily inspired by 2021 regs

[sour hound]

this is actually beautiful wtf

[tawny mason]

W15 real livery vs concept

[lean crow]

frr

[stiff bough]

I like it.

[boreal comet]

Why does it gotta be half black half silver though. Make up yo mind on the colour

[brave tree]

W CAR L REVEAL

[dawn thistle]

They made the nose silver so its a silver arrow 🤯

[ionic frost]

Clearly they threw the last years car in the trash

[tawny mason]

They could have done an all carbon car.

[hushed bison]

idk why but not all black on the car is carbon fiber

it looks like it's some paint

[lean crow]

yeah towards the back

[pale lion]

Anything above the green line is paint

[sudden niche]

Mhm

[pale lion]

yeah

[lean crow]

sidepods look like its carbon

[sudden niche]

Looks nice

[ionic frost]

Ok I can’t be stuffed listening to the reveal

[languid storm]

WHEY

[sudden niche]

I wanna see it in better lighting tho

[sour hound]

This Mercedes might rival Ferrari for best livery of the season

[languid storm]

THTS DECENT

[burnt pilot]

This looks so similar to those rb leaks

[latent ice]

not the same livery btw

[burnt pilot]

Has merc cooked?

[summer drum]

mclaren in 37 mins

[vague light]

damn they listened for once

[ionic frost]

Didn’t they already done it

[atomic topaz]

Definitely

[dawn thistle]

Didnt they drop already?

[stray axle]

engine probably cooked

[brave tree]

Too much

[summer drum]

what if mclaren pull an alpine n suddenly reveal something completely diff

[hushed bison]

they already released it

[snow swan]

people when the car has carbon fibre: 😠

[lean crow]

didnt mclaren drop it already?

[cursive jolt]

Yes

[pale lion]

Sidepods look the same as the leak

[summer drum]

yeah i mean like the actual presentation though

[jade mural]

Congrats @summer drum, you're now on lap 25

[vague light]

TEHY ALREADY RELEASED IT

IT LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME

[burnt pilot]

Maybe Hamilton made a@mistake leaving

[empty anvil]

they are likely hiding that til testing

[inland kernel]

ALMOST

[vague light]

nah i think hes about to retire and then hes just gonna transfer to ferrari experience how shit the team is

and retire from f1

[pale lion]

the sidepods look like the redbull sidepods

the leak

[lean crow]

i wouldve loved it if the revealed it better bro

[hushed bison]

i believe that if redbull is not 2 sec per lap faster we will see a great fight at the top

[inland kernel]

AND THAT IS THE STREAM

Renders are an "earlier iteration of the W15" which, like the McLaren, is running at Silverstone today in a more relevant form. Car changes include a new chassis, and new gearbox casing, along with extensive aero refinements.

Twitter · Feb 14, 2024, 10:21 AM

[pale lion]

it means they are wasting money on a reveal though

[ionic frost]

Cost cap

[dawn thistle]

Alexander Albon CHAMPION OF THE WORLD!

[agile rover]

that awkward silence

[brave tree]

That was to worst reveal i watched💀

[uneven cradle]

around of a applause

[empty anvil]

we have no idea what RBR is doing.... Newey could of done a whole load of Bullshitery and we wouldn't know

[burnt pilot]

What’s going on at the venturri tunnels

[sour hound]

I love how I woke up at just the perfect time

I thought I was gonna be late to the news

[burnt pilot]

The leaks got released of the on track testing

[narrow garnet]

https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/mclaren-launch-image-trickery-points-to-its-2024-f1-car-secrets/10575640/

[sour hound]

we kinda do tho

[burnt pilot]

Those sidepods look super similar

[pale lion]

yeah the merc looks similar but the front wing is more refined

[craggy rivet]

boring reveal af

[dawn thistle]

Looks worse

[vague light]

they copied the rb19 but theyre gonna make it 100x faster

God bless you adrian newey

[pale lion]

looks like Allison and Newey has the same ideas

[burnt pilot]

Nah merc looks like the 20

[pale lion]

No they are both new designs

[pale lion]

exactly

[empty anvil]

they could of been testing the floors

[burnt pilot]

Doesn’t make sense to test floors with an older package

[empty anvil]

ground effects

[cursive jolt]

Maybe James Allison found bullshitry to make the w15 good

[burnt pilot]

Everything in the car will affect airflow which will affect the produced downforce

[burnt pilot]

LH WDC one last time?

[brave tree]

[harsh ocean]

[sour hound]

its the same thing

[brave tree]

Naaahhhhh

[sour hound]

no its not

[burnt pilot]

It’s beautiful

[cursive jolt]

Ngl i think rb will dominate

[harsh ocean]

that thing is UGLY

[brave tree]

Lawless on something

[stray axle]

let’s be real, who doesn’t

[cursive jolt]

Unless merc pulled something crazy

[pale lion]

Allison might have

[harsh ocean]

lets take the worst parts of our 2020 and 2021 cars and combine them 🤓

[stray axle]

bottas back in merc

[pale lion]

There wasn't even silver on either of them (after revisions)

[charred elbow]

beautiful, beautiful machine

absolutely stunning

[brave tree]

He is taking medication

[harsh ocean]

Bro edited

🤓

[pale lion]

yeah to clarify for you

[harsh ocean]

Anyone got a tier list maker

[pale lion]

[brave tree]

Zyooo

[harsh ocean]

me and u

[pale lion]

I hope so

[brave tree]

Wtf

[harsh ocean]

Leave use alone

[brave tree]

Yo get out

[hushed bison]

So mercedes get things from mclaren too, intersting

[harsh ocean]

you get out

[stray axle]

wait a minute

[pale lion]

[snow swan]

Mclaren one feels very meh but Mercedes does look good, Hope they'll bring the same car for the races, Anyway Mercedes, AMR and Ferrari have designed really good looking cars this year.

[stray axle]

carbon fibre season

[quaint kite]

I'm surprised the Merc isn't black

[pale lion]

Only for the bottom teams

[violet geode]

I actually really like what Mercedes did with their livery this year.. that subtle gradient from the silver to black, actually looks really good

[quaint kite]

Vcarb:

[tawny mason]

The VCARB 01 is a sexy machine. Love it

[burnt pilot]

It’s both

[stray axle]

what about midfield

[tawny mason]

Ferrari produced a banger as always

[burnt pilot]

Silver and black

[pale lion]

yeah but mainly bottom

[burnt pilot]

Midfield liveries suck

[pale lion]

they are all carbon

so yeah

[quaint kite]

It looks pretty good NGL

[pale lion]

[stray axle]

just make different color carbon if it’s possible

[burnt pilot]

The teams with more paint I think will@be quicker

[stray axle]

not how it works but ok

[silk bloom]

Bruh what does it look like

[pale lion]

they must be confident if that have paint though

[mighty terrace]

Merc launch in the Merc museum

[burnt pilot]

Cos they aren’t desperate to reduce weight and probably have a more efficient chassis

[violet geode]

I cant decide on which livery looks the best this year..

[silk bloom]

Highlighter

[snow swan]

It's too flashy for my taste 😦

[silk bloom]

that thing is sexy

[stray axle]

you mean 1/3 of the cars this season?

[burnt pilot]

Silver just suits this car so much more than the W13

[pale lion]

yrs

[pulsar tangle]

the front wing gives me some 2008 mclaren vibe

[narrow garnet]

Instrumentation is one of those parts that one team makes for everyone as a spec part

[burnt pilot]

IS THE MERC BADGE CENTRED THIS YEAR

[silk bloom]

The ineos logo up top looks out of place

[pale lion]

its always there

what

[sour hound]

why spoiler

[silk bloom]

it looks different

[sour hound]

it is such an upgrade from 2023

[pale lion]

some people might be scared of it 🤣

[sour hound]

2023 was horrid

[narrow garnet]

YES THANK GOD

[burnt pilot]

2023 was really good

It’s just that it was unique back then

[harsh ocean]

official livery tier list. I will be taking no questions

[burnt pilot]

Now if they released that then it wouldn’t

[burnt pilot]

You will be taking this opinion tho

[burnt pilot]

Trash opinion

[harsh ocean]

Blockdd

[feral lake]

Mercedes being in the same class as hass is unacceptable

[dawn thistle]

Worst opinion ive seen this week

[harsh ocean]

I SAID NO QUESTIONS

[pale lion]

[harsh ocean]

read

[pulsar tangle]

wtf aston top?

[feral lake]

Mercedes is easily the best livery this year

[pale lion]

agreed

[dawn thistle]

Did we ask a question?

[harsh ocean]

Damn crazy how im alwayd the only one who has the correct opinion in this server

[charred elbow]

i agree

[cursive jolt]

Yes

[charred elbow]

what a beautiful livery, seriously

[harsh ocean]

You did. Right now. shuddup

[feral lake]

Rb is just gonna the same and we have already seen the McLaren one

[pulsar tangle]

deluional ferrari fan

[sour hound]

my tier list:

S: Ferrari and Mercedes
A: Toro Rosso
B: Aston Martin, Haas
C: McLaren, Williams
F: Stake, Alpine

not too different

[harsh ocean]

Click my pfp moron its not ferrari

Owned

[burnt pilot]

Man the W13 looks like a brick 😭😭

[pale lion]

looks like only the top of the sidepod is carbon

the rest of the car is paint

pretty much

[sour hound]

same for Ferrari

[harsh ocean]

Which team is this looks like shit

[pulsar tangle]

their car is probably under weight limit

[cursive jolt]

I love the airbox(?) Its always red

[pulsar tangle]

so they put paint

[cursive jolt]

It looks so good

[sour hound]

I think Mclaren hard launching their livery was a bad decision because now nobody cares about their launch

[pale lion]

[pale lion]

probably because of the norris drama

[feral lake]

Haas and alpine mustve been hella over the weight limit

Because their liveries are mostly carbon fibre

[harsh ocean]

huh

[pale lion]

he was being dirty in dms with women

[harsh ocean]

fuck yeah my goat

[sour hound]

photo and video my friend sent me from Fiorano

Discord fucks up the quality

[harsh ocean]

why no vasseur emoji

[charred elbow]

honestly, good year for liveries

not nearly as much carbon as people were fearing after the alpine launch

[radiant crow]

Tf is happenin here

[zealous summit]

FERRARIIIII

[radiant crow]

I can see that

[zealous summit]

Yeah I like VCARB the most tbh

[radiant crow]

True

[crude star]

last Redbull next day!!!

[meager ice]

merc looks pretty good

[languid storm]

front looks bangin

[sour hound]

we already know it tho

[zealous summit]

We will always know it

[languid storm]

max literally leaked it on stream

[meager ice]

that one red stripe is kinda random but hey

[sour hound]

and it was leaked in silverstone

[languid storm]

yea

[zealous summit]

RB swap sponsors out on the same livery areas

[meager ice]

ngl it reminds me of their formula e livery

the merc

[zealous summit]

That's all they do

[crude star]

yes lol

[charred elbow]

I will grow to like the stake livery, probably

[stray axle]

somehow

[sudden niche]

I think it's gaudy

[stray axle]

i have the highlighter

[sudden niche]

I appreciate it being different

[crude star]

bruh lawson in Visa cash app RB lol

[meager ice]

its like an f1 my team livery

[stray axle]

the photoshop skills are unreal

[charred elbow]

happens all the time throughout a season

[crude star]

bruh shut

[sour hound]

it looks trash

[meager ice]

but ig its unique in a way

[charred elbow]

you learn to like a bad livery

[meager ice]

just not my type

[crude star]

this remix bro

[sour hound]

check out my new livery

[stray axle]

it’s like there is no photoshop

[burnt pilot]

Pretty car

[crude star]

bruh ok

[meager ice]

i love this livery

[burnt pilot]

That reminds me I need to hop back into F1 23 spent a lot more time on AMS2 AC and iracing

[sudden niche]

creative

[sour hound]

very racey

[gleaming belfry]

mercedes sidepods look interesting

[burnt pilot]

They look like the rb20

[zealous summit]

Wish we got zeropods again ngl

[burnt pilot]

Also is that a mainoo pfp?

[zealous summit]

Surely this time it would have worked

[sour hound]

it was either that or this but I have been using orange and black since F1 2021 and I didnt wanna move away from it just yet

[meager ice]

the diagonal white block near the cockpit sticks out weirdly but the overall livery is good

[sour hound]

also it looks like the alfa romeo on track

[burnt pilot]

That’s what teams seem to be going towards (by that I mean rb and merc)

Rb and merc got smaller sidepods than the rest of the comp

[charred elbow]

i feel like I've seen the mcl livery already

was it only launched today?

[sudden niche]

I have a preference to yellow f1 cars rn since I wanna see all primary colors

[gleaming belfry]

yes my glorious king

[burnt pilot]

That’s because you have

[gleaming belfry]

mainoo

[sour hound]

it was launched in January

[burnt pilot]

He went to a school near mine

[charred elbow]

.oh

[burnt pilot]

He’s in my year it’s crazy

[gleaming belfry]

they look really different its crazy

[burnt pilot]

How am I the same age as mainoo it feels weird seeing footballers my age and younger

[gleaming belfry]

also scary

[sour hound]

Season 1, 2 and 3

I cant beat 2

[lime mirage]

I wonder how merc always goes away from redbulls concept

[sour hound]

its just too good

[burnt pilot]

Mclaren seem to adopt the strategy of let’s see what rb did last year

[burnt pilot]

Second one is really good

[burnt pilot]

Look at F2

They have such a nice yellow car on the grid

[charred elbow]

has every team adopted the ferrari tunnel design

[sour hound]

especially with the wheel cover and all

it was perfect

[gleaming belfry]

ferraris are different aswellp#

[sour hound]

Ferrari have gone for the flat straight nose

[foggy grove]

mclaren with another snoozefest

[sour hound]

which visually is a massive downgrade

[gleaming belfry]

mercedes has something like a slide

or wtv that is

[burnt pilot]

Not a slide

[fervent geode]

Downwash

[burnt pilot]

It’s just that merc has a lot more downwash I think is the word

[charred elbow]

how beautiful these cars would look without tire covers

[silk bloom]

kimi is my goat

[burnt pilot]

At the same time tyre covers do look nice too

Esp if done right

[meager ice]

fat schnoz

[sour hound]

basically the Alpine

[charred elbow]

have you seen the rim design when the covers not there

[burnt pilot]

Cars look so much better than those boats we had before 😭😭

[charred elbow]

it looks pretty cool

[gleaming belfry]

williams ones are so fucking weird

Huh the forth element of the FW on the W15 is attached with a legality wire

[ionic frost]

Where do I watch mclaren

[sour hound]

the 2024 nose is a visual downgrade from 2022 and 2023

[fervent geode]

BERND MAYLANDER, CHAMPION OF THE WORLD

[meager ice]

tip slims down but the rest of the nose is fat

[burnt pilot]

Straight line speed car cos they don’t have the facilities to build cars with loads more dkwnforce without adding the drag

[charred elbow]

the lightning makes them look asymmetrical 😭

[pulsar linden]

Best livery of this season?

[charred elbow]

lighting

yes

for me

[gleaming belfry]

ong lmao shits funny af

[gleaming belfry]

yeah thats fair

[burnt pilot]

Noses seem not too different tbf

[pulsar linden]

I can’t decide tbh with my Ferrari bias

Dr Obbs (@dr_obbs) on X

If Mercedes have found a way to created a detached FW element with legality wire, then this could change the game for front wings. The Y250 vortex was a great way to help control FT wake. Does this get banned quickly, or do other teams now adopt this? I'm intrigued!

Twitter · Feb 14, 2024, 10:57 AM

[burnt pilot]

They done remade the 2018 front wings

[fervent geode]

"Change your fucking car!"

• Horny

[pulsar linden]

Ngl on this angle I defo prefer the Ferrari

[meager ice]

merc livery a bit more playful than usual

[pulsar linden]

The front angle is where merc really cooked

[burnt pilot]

Gives illusion there’s more paint than there is tbh

[meager ice]

i still miss the w10 livery

[burnt pilot]

And looks hella good

[burnt pilot]

Silver that fades into the black

[silk bloom]

how long before Horner cries about the front wing? I’d say at the end of q3 at Bahrain

[burnt pilot]

That was so clean

[burnt pilot]

Give it after Fp2

[midnight mesa]

Mercedes is the easiest 10 of my life

[pulsar linden]

McLarens livery underrated tbh

[silk bloom]

even that

[stiff bough]

Assuming he'll even be employed by the Bahrain weekend lmao

[pulsar linden]

It’s clean

[gleaming belfry]

2nd day of pre season tests lmao

[meager ice]

lightsaber streak

the petronas streak

[silk bloom]

What’s it even abt

Sending pp pics?

[meager ice]

i loved how much cleaner it was than the w09

[stiff bough]

No one knows.

[burnt pilot]

It was such a pretty livery

[fervent geode]

That sidepod 🤤

[burnt pilot]

Simple yet so so good

[tame plover]

did Mclaren did car reveal ?

[burnt pilot]

Fp1 : zeropod returns

[burnt pilot]

Like 2 hours ago

[tame plover]

lmaoo

[burnt pilot]

U didn’t miss anything it’s like the same

[tame plover]

gotcha

[jade silo]

McLaren reveal was a joke

Aaaa Yoke

[pulsar linden]

Interesting

[fervent geode]

Lewis looked so uninterested tho

[shut river]

I miss McLaren reveal? 🤷🏼‍♂️ i am comfused 😭🤣

[pulsar linden]

I’m so impatient for testing now

[jade silo]

No it was just a 4 pictures on insta and this https://x.com/McLarenF1/status/1757685639032533030?s=20

[fervent geode]

Im so impatient for Q3 rn

[sour hound]

they already glazed the livery for an entire month 😭

[tame plover]

ye same I thought it was gonna start like 10min ago

[pulsar linden]

🥶

[jade silo]

They unbonerified the audience

[shut river]

Really ? Omggggg

[burnt pilot]

They done did the cars 3 reveal

[frank egret]

So weird seeing a Mercedes car with sidepods

[burnt pilot]

But

Merc cars have always had sidepods

Apart from a year

[fervent geode]

🤤

[jade silo]

Did mercedes revealed?

[burnt pilot]

Yes

[jade silo]

Oh. I cared more abou mclaren but.

[burnt pilot]

10/10 stunner of a car

[lime mirage]

its sexy dw

[fervent geode]

Agreed

[jade silo]

I guess I will go watch mercedes

[fervent geode]

If only it was fast 😔

[lime mirage]

they revealed start of feb

for no reason

[silk bloom]

what does this mean tho im not into the aero stuff

[tame plover]

tomorrow is winning car reveal anyway 🥱

I am joking guys

[vagrant hearth]

Merc livery fire

[burnt pilot]

Basically they can create a lot of outwash

It’s a similar concept to the 2018 wings before they got simplified

[vagrant hearth]

Nah you're probably right tho💀

[lime mirage]

so i asked some dude he told that its sorta like recreating the 2021 wings

[burnt pilot]

Creates a ton of dirty air

[silk bloom]

less goo

[shut river]

When will be the redbull car reveal???👨‍🎨

[unborn lava]

Never

[burnt pilot]

Thought it was like 2018 with the extra detached elements

[unborn lava]

Is the same like last year

[burnt pilot]

Max alreayd revealed it

[lime mirage]

https://tenor.com/view/max-max-verstappen-f1-red-bull-formel1-gif-26882129

boom its the same

[jade silo]

Kind of giving me a tone of old mclaren mercedes ❤️ Love it

[shut river]

U missed it?!

I*

[burnt pilot]

No

Max said it’s the same

So nobody is hyped

[jade silo]

Sandbaging max

[unborn lava]

I want see redbull but cgrome

[jade silo]

They will come with awesome livery and leave it the same as for past 20 years

[silk bloom]

Imagine the w15 is actually good on track and Lewis has to leave

[burnt pilot]

It seems weird to like

Leave so early to me still

But at the same time makes a@lot of sense

I mean if ur in LH position u have very little options

Merc only handed you a 1+1 contract last summer

Instead of a 2+1

[pulsar linden]

95

[burnt pilot]

And if you stay for the full 1+1 and merc don’t plan on renewing (as evident by a lack of a 2+1 contract) then you are out of seat

[sour hound]

Verstappen helmet

[burnt pilot]

Ferrari need to do a lightning McQueen livery around the USA at least once

[pulsar linden]

Imagine

[sour hound]

they should get pixar as their sponsor again

[burnt pilot]

They had them at one point?

[sour hound]

pretty sure they had it in 2022 when they did the Lightning movie thing

in Monaco

[shut river]

Stupid question, but does anyone know where Sainz is going? I think I missed this thing

[sour hound]

they had the Buzz Lightning movie as a sponsor

[pulsar linden]

Lightyear*

[sour hound]

Lightyear

yes

[burnt pilot]

Wait what

On the car?

[pulsar linden]

Yh

On the nose

[burnt pilot]

I don’t remember this

[lime mirage]

where did ya get it from

[burnt pilot]

Shown

Show

[burnt pilot]

Ohhhhhh

It was a one off?

[daring hazel]

"I am leaving Mercedes because I don't think I can win my next title with them."

And then(fingers crossed) he somehow beats Verstappen and is like "Well shit."

[sour hound]

on the race suit aswell

[burnt pilot]

Ohhh

[sour hound]

pretty sure yeah

they should have Pixar as a full time sponsor

[burnt pilot]

Need them to turn up to Miami

Or Las Vegas

[sour hound]

or COTA

[burnt pilot]

With a lightning bolt on the car

[sour hound]

COTA is the race where they do the US liveries

[burnt pilot]

COTA imo not iconic enough location

Miami and Las Vegas as locations make more sense to do such a big collab

Even if Miami quite literally is an ass race track

Its like it was designed by a monkey without any hands

[sour hound]

RB20 airflow before the car is even launched 😭

[sour hound]

still I would choose COTA

COTA as a track just screams USA to me

[kind comet]

Thr nose of the rb is so long

[kind comet]

Real

[burnt pilot]

If they still did Indianapolis then that would make most sense

But no oval road tracks on calendar

[crude flame]

i love how people can see airflow like that

[burnt pilot]

Just realised

Renders don’t have the front wing elements

[crude flame]

what car

[burnt pilot]

Merc

Renders are quite a bit diff to actual it seems already

Wonder how different it will turn up to FP1

[gleaming belfry]

we will see in pre season testing

[snow swan]

thicc

[burnt pilot]

Rb 1-2-3-4 incoming

[frank egret]

I did not know the front was silver

I dont like the Mercedes logo on the halo

[sour hound]

it was raining so it helped

[sour hound]

its been there for ages

just not as big

[calm bear]

i didnt even notice that

personally i love it

unique

nice little touch

[silk bloom]

hope the wang mod does stuff

[calm bear]

in general my thoughts:
i didnt like it as much when i first saw just the side angle, but after studying it a bit more i can see what they were going for with the hybrid silver/black thing

i like the increased amount of ineos red

and the petronas green stripes

seems like its a livery of accents

its not my favorite livery for sure, but i recognize what they were going for and i still like it

not terrible

and merc know how to use bare carbon effectively

also it will definitely stand out more

with the green and red

and from the front it looks like a pure silver arrow again

[burnt pilot]

It’s a different livery depending on how u look at it

I think it’s a really clever fresh livery

[calm bear]

its clever for sure

like i said i see what they were going for

maybe the fact that there’s two entirely different themes going on is what’s stopping me from loving it rn

but i do like it

not bad at all

[fervent geode]

The real reason why W13 and W14 was so slow is because Allison forgot to tell Elliot to remove the integrated sandbags before Bahrain Q3

!!!!!

[tired epoch]

real

[left zealot]

wait, is the merc car exposed carbon or black vinyl paint

doesnt look like carbon to me

[south heron]

I really like the new Merc livery

didn't expect them to go half-black half-silver but I fucking love it

[stiff bough]

Yes.

[teal geode]

And it’s black

Shocker

[lime mirage]

They were just sandbagging till abu dhabi smh

Redbull beware

Mercedes is looking forward to drop the bags

It may a take an year or two

[left zealot]

but its paint??? not exposed carbon

[teal geode]

Still

Boring

[midnight mesa]

Nah man you're tripping fr

[left zealot]

black has been a feature on merc for a few years

would be more boring if it was exposed carbon

[teal geode]

[sour hound]

carbon on the sidepods

[sour hound]

exposed on the sidepods

[tired epoch]

yeah that’s mercedes’ thing kinda

idk if you got the memo but they’ve been kinda rocking it for a few years except for one

and we don’t talk about that one

[stiff bough]

they should've kept the black gone after 2021.

[tired epoch]

why

the silver livery in 2022 was ugly 💀💀

[obtuse elm]

nuh uh

it was nice

[tired epoch]

yes it was

it was ugly

it doesn’t look good on the new cars

[stiff bough]

Because it fulfilled it's purpose, being the front of the BLM movement in F1. They brought it back purely for weight which imo in just a disservice to why it was originally introduced

[snow vine]

I liked it

[tired epoch]

it wasn’t the worst but i think the silver looks better on the boxy cars

[snow vine]

Man they tried something here but it doesn’t look right imo

Something is just off

[tired epoch]

i like the new livery it’s a pretty good mix to me

[snow vine]

There is too much black

On the side

[snow vine]

It should be silver

Should have done it like the W10 and W11

[pale lion]

no

[tired epoch]

nah

[snow vine]

Where it’s black at the back

[pale lion]

its perfect

[tired epoch]

i think this one looks good

[fervent geode]

detached top element with legality strip

[pale lion]

perfect

Allison is back

[snow vine]

Alr perfect is crazy imo

[pale lion]

the livery

[snow vine]

I don’t like this part

It feels off

[stiff bough]

never left

[pale lion]

he did

[stiff bough]

No.

[snow vine]

Didn’t

[pale lion]

he didn't develop 2022 or 2023 fully though

[stiff bough]

Correct, and neither did Elliott

[pale lion]

I mean hes back as in his ideas are back lol

[stiff bough]

thats why they have like 600 engineers

[tired epoch]

he’s back as the lead aerodynamicist right

[pale lion]

yes

thats what I meant

[stiff bough]

Technical Director, so he's not doing any of the nitty gritty work

[fervent geode]

does engineers count as cost cap?

[tired epoch]

he was in some engineer role

[stiff bough]

Everyone besides the top 3 highest earners are under the cost cap.

[tired epoch]

paying employees does not go into the cost cap

[stiff bough]

It would be logical to not include them

but guess what

fia and logic are two colliding forces

[tired epoch]

the cost cap is exclusively for car development costs and transportation of vehicles and equipment isn’t it?

[stiff bough]

Yes but also no

[fervent geode]

transportation?

[stiff bough]

There are alot of exclusions and whatnot as far as what a team can spend on freely in a year

[tired epoch]

yeah i thought so because Haas did some things to cut transportation costs

[stiff bough]

like the capex cap allows you to build a big ass factory but everything inside of it has to be within your allowance given

[snow vine]

And damage costs because because you need to make new parts ofc (Mick Schumacher did all lot of this damage for Haas)

[stiff bough]

which I believe is 36m for everyone

[tired epoch]

yes

[tired epoch]

so it inadvertently dictates how big the facility will be

or can be

[south heron]

and then there's Alpine's livery this year

god I hate that so much

[pale lion]

awful

[tired epoch]

we got ROBBED

[south heron]

yeah I agree that the whole weight saving reason is a disservice to why the black livery was first introduced

[stiff bough]

That cost cap dictates how much a team can spend to upgrade their facilities

[south heron]

but at the same time I wonder if they soured on their silver livery because of how 2022 went for them

[stiff bough]

and since the FIA refuse to give anyone exemptions, teams like Williams, Haas, Sauber, and Alpine cannot make the gains they need in order to be on a level playing field to the top of the grid.

[fervent geode]

Ngl the best racing series would be with low restriction car regs like WEC and a cost cap on car dev like F1

[tired epoch]

i think the top 5 should be capped and the rest have a substantially higher or unlimited cap

[south heron]

that could be an idea

[fervent geode]

WEC has good racing but BoP makes it feel artificial

[south heron]

remember when FE had Fanboost?

[tired epoch]

BoP is goated for that because of how different the cats can be

[tired epoch]

imagine losing a race because the fans like another driver more

[fervent geode]

no like, the ultimate goodness would be a cost cap instead of BoP

[winged rivet]

cringe

[south heron]

exactly, I always thought it was stupid af

imagine if F1 added this

[fervent geode]

then the LMP1 cost issue would be solved and there would still be competition because teams cant outspend each other, leading to innovation

[tired epoch]

then you get into a Red Bull situation where one team nails it and the rest play catch up

[south heron]

oh god imagine if it was used in AD21

[fervent geode]

but thats for strict rules like F1

[tired epoch]

norris would have a win

[stiff bough]

nah screw lmp1

[fervent geode]

WEC car dev doesnt have strict rules

hence how you got the 9x8

or the 499p

[tired epoch]

true

[south heron]

I like Lando but idk if I would've been able to be happy with such a win

[tired epoch]

he wouldn’t be

he would feel like he didn’t earn it

[winged rivet]

team lh would give another 1000 hp /s

by spamming

[fervent geode]

"F1 fanboost spam bot dm for pricing!!!!" (!)

[south heron]

I think the backlash over it would've easily been worse

[stiff bough]

Every racing series has some form of necessary evil to keep racing at it's best competition closer.

IndyCar and Super Formula use P2P, obviously BoP is most popular in GT and Prototypes, MotoGP has given Honda and Yamaha sanctions to help them close up the gap to Ducati allowing them to bring mid season major upgrades and whatnot and I believe they also are given more testing as well

oh and f1 has DRS

Mercedes is scared of Andrectba1981

did James Allison join back cause there’s so many changes been done

[pale lion]

yes

[silk bloom]

i wanna procreate with him

[formal urchin]

the airbox seems to be super low or is it just me

[haughty onyx]

the sidepods of the w15 look soo slitlike

[rare cairn]

Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team when Andrectba1981 thinks their front wing is illegal: 😨 😱

[livid root]

Am I the only one who feels the livery could've had more silver

[gray vapor]

idk

but its looks so elegant

[pale lion]

ilegal*

[haughty onyx]

so crazy

[snow swan]

damn

[vocal shore]

It’s so fucking aggressive

It’s a banger livery tho

It’s my favorite they have ever made

[brave tree]

Lets not get too excited on W15 looking fast💀Comments on W13

[sour hound]

honestly same

[glass sierra]

Merc fire

[sour hound]

best of both silver and black

[vocal shore]

George Russel in dts moment

I don’t even like most of the merc liveries, but I have to respect that is a FANTASTIC livery

[haughty onyx]

W13 was so disgusting

along with W14

Brazil W14 for george had to be pulled in cause it was at risk of getting overtaken by a lapped car

[dense parrot]

I think it's super ugly

Would've been fine if they just made it all black

[worn wadi]

I really like the W15

[late hemlock]

How would I tell the difference between Mercedes, Haas and Alfa Romeo

[dense parrot]

Well I would prefer full silver

Just the mix looks weird

[pure burrow]

^

[urban ginkgo]

W15 is actually beautiful

[silk bloom]

you’re beautiful

[urban ginkgo]

It reminds me a lot of the W10, and the W11 pre-season

[stiff bone]

11/10

i love it

so good

[drifting wagon]

W15 🥵

[compact ibex]

10/10 best looking mercedes for me

[drifting wagon]

The only thing thats shit is the petronas stripe placement

[stiff bone]

ok fair

[languid locust]

W15's front nose reminds me of their silver Formula E car from 2020.

[velvet crater]

Mercs fucking delivered

9.5/10 (not my Aston Martin)

[languid locust]

though the FE one isn't petronas green, it does resemble it a lot.

[brave tree]

I thought about that too

[languid locust]

maybe it's intentional? who knows

[uncut glacier]

okay so, theres a lot of black on the w15, but its like a tasteful black unlike alpine if that make sense

[compact ibex]

alpine who teased us with CAMO

BUT THEY DROPPED THE UGLIEST LOVERY KN THE GRID

[languid locust]

tbf I don't think it looks too bad

its definitely not the best

but it's also not the worst

[brave tree]

Its WORST

EVER

Words can’t describe how much i hate alpine

[obtuse elm]

merc cooked yknow
keeping the black trend, while using their brand color, silver to make the front shot distinctive
props

[languid locust]

ahem steak F1 team or whatever the hell it's called

[gray vapor]

the fastest cars on the grid have the most paint

[brave chasm]

The silver above the line on the engine cover/sidepod just doesnt feel like its finished, i wouldve liked to see it go to the dark with a better gradient cuz this just doesnt feel right

[pine turret]

this channel name brings me back to the Mclaren Mercedes days

[eternal radish]

i knew the livery looked familar:

[old snow]

vrooom

[eternal radish]

vroooooom

i have that lego built I just need the mclaren lego

they should use the lego front wing

who was the dude in the merc reveal?
