Well, it looks different… IGN might have done good to their budget but didn’t do too good to the livery. I dont like Renault but I had good thoughts on their yeallow-blue livery. Maybe if you look at it from an angle or consider it is new and if you appreciate the variation of color, it actually looks kind of attract… No! what the hell… its ugly, they know its ugly and so do you, accept it. They shouldve done something about it. These French, hmm.. plus it doesnt go with Flavio, wonder if even he dislikes it..

it looks to me as though each person were photographed separately and stuck together post production…badly.

even the shadows look fake to me.

k: I don’t see the issue with Flav and his team? Are you talking about the photo at the very bottom of the set with all five crouched down? Yeah, Flav looks a little large (but he probably is compared to the athletes he employees) but I don’t think he looks too disproportionate.

Interestingly, in another photo I saw of the launch I noticed Heikki is even shorter than Fischella, and Fisi is only an inch taller than me! I always thought Heikki as being quite tall, but I was clearly mistaken.

dekrazee1: As I stated in the post:

I’m sure we won’t have too much trouble telling the cars apart on the race track - a problem that plagued last year with Toyota, McLaren and the then Midland team looking so similar.

Yep, you weren’t the only one who had trouble! But with Spyker going orange, Ferrari with more red and less white, McLaren somewhere in the middle, I think this upcoming season will see an improvement. The only real problem I can foresee is Toyota and Super Aguri, but Toyota’s blue Panasonic logo is good giveaway, even if their performance isn’t.

i dunno…orange / yellow / white is a good combination. maybe the blue is too dark.

i think i’ll reserve judgment until i see it running on the track. all those wide-angle, fish-eye photos can be deceiving.

also, what’s with that photo of the drivers + flav? he looks twice the size of them. terrible photoshopping whoever did it.

Heikki should trash Fissi…

You mean something like:

Possibly. Williams went a little retro last year, maybe Renault are trying a similar thing.

I suppose I don’t really need to ask this, but what do you think of the new Renault?

is it just me, or does it look like a williams / renault from around nigel mansell era.

think they’re adding a bit of subliminal message there?
