Worst. Off. Season. Ever.

Can we change the title to livery launches, as we won't see a proper car until the first practice session in Australia.

Corrected

The best part about this off-season was that brief but GLORIOUS discussion on the colors of flamingos.

When they keep BWT as main sponsor...

They are the direct competitor of the company I work for. Unfortunatelly they only sponsonr the local third division football team, and no motorsport

Looks a payoff for the lack of programming in skyf1. They do basically only re runs of 2019 and atm it seems a waste of money

Hmm, maybe that is just Italy.... they are already promoting here (well Foxtel are, and they run the full Sky broadcasts) and they are again covering every practice session, qualifying and race (the latter two being promised ad free)

Not sure of what is the status in UK, US, and the rest of the world.

Mercedes has confirmed that their new car will break cover on Wednesday February 13.
They have revealed their car with big launch events in recent years, but the new car will be unveiled on social media after a closed, private shakedown at Silverstone.

So the updated list of launch dates:

February 11th: Toro Rosso. (Online)
February 12th: Renault (Enstone)
February 13th: Mercedes (online/Silverstone)
February 13th: Force India (Toronto)
February 14th: McLaren (Location unknown)
February 15th: Ferrari (Maranello)
February 18th: Sauber (Barcelona)

So just awaiting confirmation from Williams, Haas and Red Bull, the latter usually latest to launch, often when testing opens.

[Everso Biggyballies]

The McLaren runs. Not that we see it at all....

The best comment from it:

[DoubleFart]

I don't get the whole gathering and clapping at an engine starting. It's like it's some kind of miracle, but you've just got to plug the right sockets and tubes together.

(In b4 plugging sockets and tubes together correctly would be a miracle at McLaren)

[Everso Biggyballies]

Red Bull have confirmed their launch will be on February 13th.... but no details yet as to how / where

So the updated list of launch dates:

February 11th: Toro Rosso. (Online)
February 12th: Renault (Enstone)
February 13th: Mercedes (online/Silverstone)
February 13th: Red Bull (Details TBC)
February 13th: Force India (Toronto)
February 14th: McLaren (Location unknown)
February 15th: Ferrari (Maranello)
February 18th: Sauber (Barcelona)

So just Rich Energy Arse and Williams to confirm their launch dates, although the Rich Energy livery will be launched on this Thursday, February 7th.

[Everso Biggyballies]

Rich Energy Haas livery will be launched on this Thursday, February 7th.

Yes it is black and gold. Hardly imaginative, at least it isn't grey again.

Some piccies... Lots of black, and not much gold.
