Looks good. I see JCB has moved from Williams to Racing Point. Williams is really struggling. I wonder if it will survive.

I hope they have a solid season and generate some interest. Another couple of seasons like this could see them go the way of a lot of old teams like Arrows and Tyrell.

Merc looks nice. Red bull is awful - if their plan to to create headaches they're doing a good job.

at this stage the first race is too far away ...................

Hard to look at , done to hide what ever they have figured out until the first race

And to be fair they won’t have any fancy bits on the car on launch day. They’ll start introducing the fancy bits towards the end of testing and race weekend in Melbourne

Red Bull do the same each year.

That halo looks disgusting though.

Oh my goodness...my eyes!!!

That said, the Merc looks very clean - do I detect a higher rake than last year's car?

The RB...well, if that livery's goal is to conceal the car lines during launch and testing, it's working very well - can't really see much detail

The Red Bull launch livery is horrid, and I can spot just the tiniest mention of Honda on the car in the form of a badge on the nose. So if the engine is good Aston Martin get the brand recognition, but when it inevitably fails Honda gets all the bad PR. What's in it for Honda again ?

The Merc looks alright, in those photos it looks massive but does have the benefit of some serious packaging at the rear

Red Bull. Another launch livery:

I thought that was Coke Zero at first glance

Looks very compact. More floor than car.

Rossi IRL

It's a good looking car....

One thing I don't like is the front wing end plates (is that even what there called) there too big and too square.

The campsite near Les Combes was great when I went. Not sure how official much of the activities were but great atmosphere. Nothing will match Le Mans though. :P

The great thing about Silverstone is that it's part GP and part festival. Spa doesn't do much beyond the actual event itself.

A lot more going on in Spa than in Barca, fan zone in Spa was 100 times better, we stayed in the Elephant campsite but the Young campsite and campingf1 sites had concerts all weekend.
But I understand what you mean about Silverstone.

The Renault looks so good from the side but too much yellow from the front.

Sounds like a few teams are behind on that this year.

Three launches tomorrow. Mercedes, Red Bull and Racing Point.

Racing Point will only be a livery launch. Will be interesting to see if they have new colours this year.

I’d be very surprised if they change title sponsor. It’s a great livery as it stands out and looks good. BWT sponsors lots of teams so I’d say they have an F1 budget. If Racing Point didn’t want their money, someone else would have it and point their car pink.

I was planning Silverstone this year and still might but it's working out cheaper to camp at Spa or Hockenheim.

Fair play. I’ve been to Silverstone in 2014 with my Mrs. It’s great. As another poster said it’s part race part festival. Going with the lads this time so will be a slightly different vibe.

Would love to try spa or Germany. Went to Budapest last year and flights accommodation and tickets on the main straight was 500 which I thought was good value. Lots of options.

Yes that was a great livery and it would be great to see Renault do something like that again someday but I must also say I actually really like the livery on this years car. Think its the best looking car so far.

I’m going to Silverstone this year and I don’t fancy it in April. Ta very much. If we’re going to have any decent weather for camping and sitting around watching racing, it’s more likely to happen in July than April.

But I agree it could have been a better race than China.

The new Renault is very similar to last year but it’s a good looking car.

I wonder how similar it will be to the Haas on track. Hope it isn’t hard to tell them apart.

Just saw that the Chinese GP is going to be F1's 1000th Grand Prix...way to waste an opportunity there; The race is in April, they could have designed the calendar so that the 3rd race of the season happened on one of the "Crown Jewels" tracks - Silverstone being the obvious choice, as it was the track that hosted the very first championship race in 1950.

Hold on - I thought the Williams was last year's car painted in the new livery?

Yeah apparently Williams are very behind in assembling their 2019 car and there are doubts if they will make the first Barcelona test!

Looking forward to that. Any idea what time its at?

Can't wait to see the Renault livery. Have to say I thought the Toro Rosso and Williams launches were both a bit boring. The Toro Rosso car just looks like last years car but with a simpler front wing and a lower back one and while the Williams does look a bit different in its new colour its a bit square looking in parts.
