Awful colour. Totally the wrong shade of green.
What is the "right" shade of green, then? :huh: Also with Alpine, "wrong" blue? What does that mean?

Doh.... and who was paying him millions of $$$ per year to spread their word. IIRC JB caught a private plane from Tokyo to the UK for the launch and jetted out again straight after.

Again the hypocrisy of F1.

Launch a car with a green image of how green the world is , and then have the transporters burning diesel and generators doing the same whilst they all cruise the planet in private planes blah blah blah. Moreso back then. (Not that F1 on a world scale is the cause or even a major contributor to all of the eco crap we hear, but just sayin') :wink:
But they say football ('soccer') is a 100% eco-friendly sport.
As opposed to F1 - its only goal is to pollute the planet [dixit the former wife of my brother] - happy to use the word 'ex' in her case.

Michael Ferner wrote: 3 years ago Colourwise (we won't talk about looks :sick:), the Aston Martin and Alpine stand out far from the rest, can't decide which one I like better. Mercedes is a distant third, then McLaren, Ferrari (we know how it will look, won't we) and the Red Bulls (the motley coloured one first, then the monochrome disaster). Okay, I can think of Sauber and Haas... that makes nine. Without wanting to look it up, whom have I missed? :huh:

EDIT: Oh, the TFKA Williams. :roll:
Just realized I missed the Sauber launch, probably because it looks the same as the Red Bull light. Dead heat for last place.

Just the actual race car mileage maybe it is carbon neutral.... but throw in the 5 jumbo jets of air freight to every GP plus 1000 personnel flying non stop around the globe, plus race officials VIPs and poseurs and plus that go to every GP, all the transporters and additional peripherals surely it is not.

I like the Alpine, the Aston is underwhelming and I am really trying to get to grips with the Haas.... an American team funded by a Russian billionaire, dressed up like a Russian flag, with Russian industry decals.... and an American flag on it. (Under the S of Haas.) :huh: :nah:

I just see Mercedes, and that's not a copycat jibe. It's just a tinted W12 to me.
