Looks good, but I still would prefer that all-dark blue scheme they ran in testing the last few years.

It’s true. The darker the blue for Willams lately, the slower the car. Let’s hope it IS this bright!

It doesn’t look like the same nose as the launch car. I wonder….

Also, there is some blue contact covering where a major sponsor might appear on the side of the monocoque. They’ve obviously got someone ready to go, but keeping it covered for now. Check out (clickable) pic no.3.

You won’t probably know what I mean but the livery reminds me of an old militia cars in pre-democratic Poland. Having that in mind I hate it.

Al H.: “Won’t look half as good with those dreadful green-striped tyres..”

Very true, would have looked great on Honda

Looks absolutely gorgeous, but quite bare.

Dunno why, but it makes me think it looks like the best Superleague Formula car never raced.

Something about this car harks back to Williams’ more succesful era…hopefully a sign of things to come..!!

Interesting how the teams are discovering which angles suit the new cars to disguise some of the inherant ugliness of the new wing dimensions…I feel a blog coming on on the subject..!!

not only does the car look great, but i like the way they debuted the car (pushing it out the garage door and running away – effective and free!)

i wish more teams would adopt more conservative liveries. is there a british company that could sponsor a nice green and silver mclaren?

I must admit I prefer the testing livery but this one is fine too – not sure is the blue lighter or is it just due to lighting. And on a glance I didn’t even notice the skate fins, I’m not too fond of them – they look like something BMW tried a few years ago untill they banned them.

Could it be a ”red herring” so other teams would waste resources trying to find does it really add advantage…
