Awful colour. Totally the wrong shade of green.
What is the "right" shade of green, then?
Also with Alpine, "wrong" blue? What does that mean?
Well this one would be an improvement.
I for one welcome our new Caterham overlords.

That quick adjustment makes the original "green" look even more like the Petronas teal. I cant shake the association with Mercedes on the Force Martin Point.

Meh, don't mind the Aston. The Alpine is just tacky though.
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.)
+ an Italian engine.
Add Kubica as a test driver and we basically got WW2.
Also noted the American flag is reversed (the stars are top right)
Oh and Steiner denies any attempt at avoiding the rules, and claims they are an American team who happened to design this colour scheme last year prior to any ruling being made. Hmmm the WADA decision was before Haas confirmed Mazepin was in the team
Haas presented its new livery for the 2021 F1 season today. The team has changed to a predominantly white, blue and red design with strong overtones of the Russian flag. Steiner denied this was a reaction to the WADA ruling.
“We didn’t circumvent anything,” he said. “We came up with this livery already last year before all this came out from WADA about the Russian flag.”
The WADA restrictions forbid Mazepin and other Russian athletes from displaying the Russian flag and related symbols on their sports equipment for two years.
“Obviously we cannot use the Russian flag as the Russian flag but you can use colours on the car,” said Steiner. “In the end it’s the athlete which cannot display the Russian flag and not the team, the team is an American team.”
Steiner confirmed the team had discussed the livery with the FIA, which is a signatory to WADA.
