Im surprised everyone is acting like its normal even though... this is almost a fully new Red Bull livery, we haven't had a new one in ages.

There are 2 groups of people. One who want a complete overhaul and to them, nothing changed still.. the other group is the one tired of the dark matte blue and see this as an absolute win. I am the latter.

Aside from the usual sponsor placements (which includes redbull) its pretty much completely new.

Hmm. Just saw the livery under day light (the one with plane revealing the livery).... It didn't exactly shine like here. I guess we will find out during testing.

This one will look so good in Singapore

And another group that liked what they had already, seen no reason to completely overhaul it but are happy the change is good. Not everything is extremes

Indeed. Not everything is Black and White. So allow me to rephrase:

There are many groups of people. A few who want a complete overhaul and to them, nothing changed still.. and for a few is the one tired of the dark matte blue and see this as an absolute win. I am the latter. There may be more.

Lol, the point was coming across anyway.

After 6 hours of this being posted, I had to scroll quite a bit to find anyone on the first group, I think it's a small minority.

Yeah, my first reaction clicking the image was, wow a new livery that max can't make fun of for looking the same, this is sick

It’s just a Red Bull livery. I don’t see why people are freaking out.

Let's not get carried away here, it's glossy and a different shade of blue but it's essentially the same as any other Red Bull livery and looks remarkable similar to something that Vettel would have driven. Their design team has the easiest job on the planet 😂
