Red Bull 2019 F1 Livery Revealed

[rubaru]

Seriously though...this is the 2018 car. I thought the red stripe was for Honda, but apparently it was there last season as well.

Wake me up when someone dares to do something different.

You mean like the Ferrari? Yeah, everyone's a huge fan of that one.

You guys sh-- on it when it changes and sh-- on it when it remains the same. F1 fans are literally the worst.

Did any team spend a penny on a new livery?

No, but Haas received a few.

Step 1: 2018 livery into Adobe Illustrator and/or Photoshop
Step 2: adjust to 2019 dimensions
Step 3: replace Tag Heuer logo with Honda logo
Step 4: adjust a sponsor logo here and there
Step 5: done

Result... Same livery. Great work.

Halo sucks

 

[michelforest]

The only matte livery that works for me. It's the same as always, but it works.

 

[rubaru]

With the Aston Martin connection, honestly thought some green would eventually find its way onto the livery. No green since 2014 Caterham, and I'm not counting the little stripes from Mercedes or Force India. Every season, Blue, Red, Black, or White.

if it ain't broke, don't fix it

 

[Lum]

They simply don't have the ( )( ) to do it. And then people talk about Williams. If Red Bull goes like this year after year...

 

[pcraenme]

It may not be so different from last year’s (and years before), but I still like it. The Renault car is still my favorite from 2019 though. Let’s hope the car is fast and reliable enough so Max can fight with Lewis and Sebastian for the WC. That’s much more important than a new painting scheme!

 

[InsaneOzzie]

It's good that Red Bull kept with the same livery, It'll make it easier to spot them struggling in the mid field with their Honda powerplant. I feel sorry for Max, no WDC this year, or next, shame really.

Halo sucks

Though last year it saved Alonso's bacon. What would suck more, keeping the halo or losing a driver?

 

[BP]

There seems to be two general approaches F1 teams take to livery design:

1. Experiment every couple years and/or change with the sponsors (Williams and McLaren for example)
2. Make subtle changes to a general theme/color palette to establish a clear identity; Ferrari being the most famous example.

Red Bull may be relatively new to the game, but nothing's wrong with trying to establish their own unique identity. Hardly anyone knocks Ferrari for running red cars with subtle variations in black and/or white trim every year for 60+ years...and basically the first 20 years were only red. Maybe RBR is trying to keep it simple for their first 20 years too?

Would love a metallic pea livery.

 

[RichardHessels]

We could do a game, spot the differences. Would be more exiting than this livery.

Can we just get something straight here, Williams have changed livery for new sponsor.....
Having said that not sure why no Honda on it, i mean that is what powers the thing... Aston maybe objected?
Is there anything on that car that is anything to do with Aston aside from a sticker?

If that Honda engine breaks down like last few seasons then pretty sure Aston won't like the connection of the brand and a busted car..... pretty sure we'll see HONDA on it by end of the season if that is the case..

Now you mention, strange they don't do anything to promote the engine manufacturer. Especially after their claim earlier, that they partially are a works Honda team now. This feels like, yes we are not really confident about the engine, let's keep TAG heuer wirstbands company on the engine cover.
Make a damn statement, put Honda on there big time, would make the Japanese part of the engineering symbiosis more proud too.

So it´s all about the look not the racing

 

[Manuel Hightower]

Not much different...
