The 2019 car (and livery) launch thread

[Ataxia]

Just what in the hell is Alfa doing with that front wing? Outwash? Or some other bizarre loophole?

Here's our thoughts, got dragged away from Woking (and free bottles of Estrella Galicia and Huski Chocolate) to make sense of it!

Ferrari step up.

The "WinNow" logos look a little weird, I think they may be silver, so we'll have to see when the car is on track to see it fully

Have you read the YouTube comment section?

Anyway, great job and very nice insight, interesting to see whether other teams will try out something similar.

So, the Williams livery looks marginally better on the new car:

I still think there's too much unpainted carbon though. It's almost halfway up the height of the car in places!

Williams loved it so much at the back last year that they’ve decided to miss the first day of testing to ensure that they stay there:

I was disappointed when I saw that. I can only hope it really doesn't affect them as badly as feared.

But yeah, some cool insights on the new Huski Chocolate Orange Arrows™ there.

The Alfa Romeo livery is pretty cool, and makes nice use of the halo. And mentions of Sauber remain on it....

Williams are probably skipping the next day too!

This is truly pathetic. It's either the result of a crash test failure or incredibly inept planning.

Nah, it's an attempt to win the Pre-Season Reject of the Year (PSROTY) award.

The rumours circulating at the circuit seemed to imply it was the latter problem, with suggestions that the delays were down to the final design of an unspecified part - seemingly a composite part, possibly some of the suspension members - not being released to the fabrication teams in time.
