Bottom post of the previous page:

Alfa did a shakedown in their car at Fiorano today, the car driven by Kimi Raikkonen and sporting a fabulous 'snakeskin' livery with heart shaped Alfa Logos. Pretty sure its only a testing livery as the look came with the team teasing on Twitter "a snake goes through different skins before it reveals its final look".

Official launch is pre-testing on the morning of February 19th.

Best livery to date, although the McLaren looks quite sassy.

I wondered what car that was. Thankfully it says Alpha Tauri on the side!

Any reason to exclude Haas out of a discussion about good liveries is a valid excuse.

I forgot the 1998 Tyrrell.

Is there enough white on this to call it black and white?

Looks like shark fins are well and truly back too.

I reckon we'll be complaining about this season all the way up to the 2021 changes.

So much for 2018 being about making the cars look good again (which they largely did assist from the crap task and narrow rear wings).

I did not like (the look of)the era of high noses and low slung front wings. The front wings just look like a last minute add on, a bit of a 'whoops forgot about the front wing, just hang it here' sort of thing.
