Did Keith Collantine mention "National Colours". Good man Keith, you must be as old as me.......F1 should be run in Natinal colours and drivers should have personalized helmets with something other than their web site address! For all the hype about Honda and their weird livery scheme look at the public results above, McLaren by a mile and only one vote separating Ferrari (in Italian National colours) and Honda. The best looking car is the one with a checkered flag flying overhead. HEY! Did Keith Collantine mention “National Colours”.

Williams and BMW are neat.Toyota is boring.STR is cool but also a year old.And somebody should ask Red Bull PR to stop wondering as to how they should criticise France this year and work on the boring livery for a change.

It could be that they are trying different shades to see which works better on TV?

Are we going to be mistaking them [Spyker] for Ferraris?

I also appreciate Spyker for going with their national colour but it's hard to get an impression from the pictures what shade of orange or red it is. Are we going to be mistaking them for Ferraris?

Renault: looks more like they had 2 designs and didn't know which one to choose so they used a part of one design for the front and part of the other design for the back Honda: Inovative, really nice picture of launch but i am afraid it will not look as good on track without special lights and black background BMW - Toyota: basicly same cars as last year. But more in favour of BMW's scheme. Toyota can hardly be distinguished from the Aguri Red Bull: nothing striking new. Williams: Actually a livery the way it should be. Recognisable, not to much decals, just enough Torro Rosso: Red bull with a bull on the side. Don't like it at all Spyker: Still wondering if is a red or a orange car. The signs on the sidepods remind me on traficsigns used to point out roadblocks.... hint ?!? Conclusion: You can be inovative but in the end it will be the good old liveryschemes of BMW or Williams that will win the title of best livery.
