Mercedes to Run Dramatic New Colour Scheme in F1?

[LeSunTzu]

That would be a bit of a nightmare for the skinmakers

Not a nightmare but a borefest. It is just a couple of shapes repeated indefinitely.

Until you try to align the shapes over different panels to match up, so there wouldn't be any abrupt cut offs...
This thing was also quite a pain

Looks like a seventies wallpaper

That actually works as a nice metaphor for F1 itself.

The colors look like curtains. Or carpet.

Screw the livery. Why is nobody talking about the radical different aero of the W10? #mercedesw10

 

[M-Bimmer]

So “Silver arrows” with a new colour scheme

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

well, interesting.
Looks like one of their designers finally woke up to the realization that the front "wings" are as ugly as it gets. last year everyone tried to hide them partly by doing them black on the outside so they would blend in with the road. To hide their structure under this desigen here makes sense, too. I bet we'll see the silver livery with bits done in the twirly design, e.g. front, lower part of sidepods and behind helmet area. Not sure whether i'd use it on the rearwing, though, maybe the sides, but only the lower part.

Another Tommy Hilfiger commission from Louis' coloring box perhaps?

 

[LeSunTzu]

To be honest Lewis' brand clothes are not that ugly

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

no, he's talking about Louis XIV

 

[Nick Hill]

Looks like a seventies wallpaper

Like what Bernie has in his basement?

I don´t care too much about their livery, i just want so see close competition.
Since the new Hybrid-Engines came to F1, Mercedes AMG has won 75 out of the 100 races and also all the titles. It´s getting really boring.

Nice of them to make sure the rear tyres are camouflaged too...

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

they're going allout??????

 

[TrumpetReich]

As much as I dislike Mercedes, I love the silver. IMO, make it all silver, no blue.

It's only a testing livery, just like Red Bull did last year.

if you mean this one, that one was actually pretty awesome!

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

it did, but it never materialized. i had hoped they would use it as a one off in one of the events, pity, all the work for some early hype and then: poof ...

Let's hope so.
I've always thought the Mercedes to be one of the best looking cars on the grid.
It'd be a real shame to fix what is essentially not broken.
