Yeah no surprise the boos for Horner. I like the car culture piece though.

i don't know, I've been to the O2 when I lived in London, not fun getting home late late on a tuesday night.

Brief_Lives

We know Max doesn't want to be here…. haha

Andrew76

Eh, no interviewing the Red Bull drivers?

dulpit

Max didn't say anything, I wonder was that deliberate so he doesn't get a lot of booing?

Also, I'd like red bull to go back to the purple they had when infiniti was on the car. The current look is bland.

AMKC

I like the Alpine colours looks well. I liked the Aston Martin reveal and the Mercedes reveal. Looking forward to the Ferrari one now.

PsychoPete

You just know Max is dying inside having to be there tonight

Andrew76

The white stripe with the blue HP looks ok but the rest of the Ferrari is crap, riddled with sponsors.

Ghost Train

I'm glad the Mercedes stuck with the mostly black livery

Ferrari is a bit ugly with the hp oversized, maybe it will look better on the track

Jordan 199

Jean and Nige are in attendance 👍

ferrari with coordinated footwear…

Did Charles get married? Was he wearing a wedding ring?

Brief_Lives

for **** sake, get on with it... lets see the McClaren

Andrew76

Domenicalli giving a shoutout to Bernie?? That was a surprise.

Jordan 199

I thought Bernie was going to show up when Stefano mentioned him.

Andrew76

The McLaren looks very meh. Especially when compared to the older cars behind it.

dulpit

McLaren is boring.

Ya, it's like look at these amazing looking cars. And here's the new one.

Jordan 199

I predict war at McLaren this year.

Take that being wheeled out here after their BAFTAs performance.

Embarrassing.

Other than the singing parts that wasn’t too bad a show surprisingly. Jack Whitehall was pretty funny which helped massively.

Now let’s get on with the real thing and get stuck into testing. Can’t wait.

Ghost Train

A lot of filler but probably a better way to see the cars than having 10 separate events.

Would have been nice if they'd had a bit about the technical side and engineering that goes into building the new cars or something

Brief_Lives

good ending… VCARB and ASTON look great

dulpit

I enjoyed that for a Tuesday night's entertainment. The VCARB slaps. It'll likely be a terrible car, but it'll look good.

Jordan 199

🤩😍🤩

thefa

Bit drawn out alright but there was nothing else on tonight and it was novel.

Think the VCARB and Alpine got the biggest livery upgrades while Ferrari went backwards. Think the Alpine looks better from the sides than the front though.

Really? The red bull which is essentially the same car from the last few years? And a team that didn't have their drivers speak?
