    Red Bull with the first livery launch of 2026! Back to the old Vettel era colour in deference to Ford.

    For once that Red Bull is beautiful, love the different shades of blue... 
    Not surprised that Racing Bulls have kept with the white livery.

    Finally the stupid matte livery is gone!!! Hard to tell anything else because they'll all be on the showcar

    I dunno... I didnt dislike the matte... it was just boring and the same thing over and over again
    Lets be honest though, its the Cadillac livery everyone cares about this winter though :D - I'm really hoping that with Herta involved, we see the Gainbridge livery that he Colton and Seb Wheldon have been running

    Cadillac are the only ones that might do something interesting. Audi will be works colours with the silver/black/red. Would be nice to get some more bright colours on the grid and not another black/grey.

    Don't think this is any great surprise...their conversations always seemed a bit strained!

    This should have happened mid-season, the relationship was doomed from the start. 

    Ferrari need to get this right , they tried to get Bono but he wouldn't move.

    No surprise at all.
    I listened to a couple of their race conversations and the engineer was like a robot. How Lewis even understood anything he said was beyond me.

    Footage of the Cadillac on track. Engine sounds..... well decent tbh. Not like the screaming V8s but better than we have had for years:

    Thats odd @DaveMehmet, neither of those photos of liveries appear to be the Jordan 191 ;) - Always loved that 7up one, plus the classic Nigel Mansell WDC winning Williams

    Quite like how white and clean it looks, especially compared to recent years

    Like the more white, could do with just a bit more Toyota red or a tad more black for contrast on there though, maybe the rear wing endplates or halo? It looks very corporate and bland from above

    So the livery is the livery they showed us 6 months ago, saying "hey this isn't our livery but it could be!"

    Colours are very reminiscent of the rocket red and chrome McLarens though

    I guess it's very Audi corporate colours but it's literally the livery they teased 6 months ago.

    It looks worse than the retro livery they teased... the Revolut logo looks in the wrong place, and makes it look like they ran out of red paint

    Looks like a slightly brighter red than they've used recently, still not sold on the HP blue, but it looks more integrated this time around at least

    All they needed to do was add a green stripe along the edge of the white and it would make it so much better
