Renault R29 revealed in Portugal – pictures (2009 F1 car launches)
Renault R29 - 2009 F1 car
Renault’s 2009 F1 car has broken cover. The R29 is the car they hope will improve on the performance of the R28 (two wins last year) and propel Fernando Alonso into contention for the drivers’ championship.
The first pictures of the new Renault R29 are below.
Update: Is this how the Renault R29 was supposed to look?
Alonso starts his sixth season for Renault alongside Nelson Piquet Jnr, who was a rookie in 2008.

Baby-vomit livery.

oooo the old paint job was nice, that’s just horrid…
Eddie Irvine said on 19th January 2009, 10:02
We have a winner for the worst-looking 2009 formula 1 car…
mail123456 said on 19th January 2009, 10:04
I just hope this car is fast …
if not this will be just a joke …
jose said on 19th January 2009, 10:06
my god!! how can that car be fast, it seems imposible.
It can become a world champion… in the worst looking cars list, in the history of the sport.
Tim said on 19th January 2009, 10:07
The ING livery was never great but this is even worse. The wedge shaped nose, shark fin engine cover and acres of rear bodywork don’t help – currently the leading contender for ugliest car of the year.
Pete Walker said on 19th January 2009, 10:08
MY EYES, THEY BURN!!!
Kudos to whoever came up with a livery even worse than the 07/08 one, thats some achievement!

I thought for a second that McDonald’s had become Renault’s new sponsor.
Awful looking livery.
DG said on 19th January 2009, 10:14
Looks like a Hotwheels or a Transformer….
todd said on 19th January 2009, 10:14
now i know why there’s more photos of the team and helmets rather than the car…
ajokay said on 19th January 2009, 10:16
I think I just threw up in the back of my mouth a little.
That car is nasty, and it’s giving me a migraine.
Tom said on 19th January 2009, 10:23
Horrible from every angle, and way too bright for a Monday morning. Particularly the big ING billboard on the back. I hope it blows over in a crosswind.
No wonder Alonso’s signed for Ferrari, he’s had enough of looking ridiculous
Loki said on 19th January 2009, 10:33
Yuk Yuk Yuk Yuk Yuk!
What a disgustingly appalling disgrace to the grid. What phenomenal catastrophe has bestowed Renault and their sponsors to roll out such a vile looking sick-for-an-excuse-of-a-car? Can you actually make it anymore hideously horrendous if you tried??
If it doesn’t do well then might as well tie the fat lady, who can sing, to it.
Someone should lose their job for this monstrosity.
….and *breathes*…

I hope it will be as fast as ugly !
Pedro Andrade said on 19th January 2009, 10:53
If it is as fast as it is ugly then Renault will walk away with both championships.
