Interestingly, Regie move from elf to Total logos for their oil (Total is Elf's parent company).......havent all Renault F1 cars ALWAYS had elf alliance in the past?

The Shark-fin lives!!!!!

**paratayoma** · 01-19-2009, 03:59 PM

Livery works slighty better without the dark blue as red complements the ING orange/white and Renault Yellow better than the dark blue did.

Still strange not to see Elf anymore...

**SetSnonejog** · 01-19-2009, 04:04 PM

Interesting design. Those red end plates (both front and rear) are ugly and don't fit in the rest of the, quite nice, livery.

**Oppofeescom** · 01-19-2009, 04:39 PM

I'm surprised this isn't horrendously ugly like the last two Renaults.

The livery isn't too bad, I'll have to see more angles of the car to make a judgement.

**paratayoma** · 01-19-2009, 05:04 PM

Looks pretty sexy from this angle....

still sad to see elf gone imo, livery looks great

The Shark-fin lives!!!!!

imo the shark fin does makes it much better with these high rear wings. btw that front wing looks horrible imo

**XU8i6ysK** · 01-19-2009, 05:26 PM

Elf is still on the engine cover. Maybe they use Total fuel and Elf lubricants.

It is definitely the most unique design so far. It doesn't look nice in the McLaren sense of the word but I appreciate the fact that we see distinctive desings.

**Oppofeescom** · 01-19-2009, 05:29 PM

After consideration and some more angles, that livery looks quite good!

The shark fin helps make the back of the car look pretty tidy.

The front is a bit dubious, very wide nose like the Williams.

**Qdkczrdi** · 01-19-2009, 05:41 PM

The shark fin sure does work well with the higher rear wing.... from an appearance point of view that is

**Oppofeescom** · 01-19-2009, 05:44 PM

New lid for Fernando as well:

**Duaceanceksm** · 01-19-2009, 06:04 PM

That livery is even uglier than last years mess. I figured the Renault would be an ugly bugger with 2009 spec aero but this is even worse than I thought it would be.

The front end reminds me slightly of the ugly front end Williams had few years back.

www.bbc.co.uk/f1 have got front end view - looks horrible!

**SetSnonejog** · 01-19-2009, 06:41 PM

The engine cover and especially the rear of the sidepods looks strange (and a tad ugly).

**Narkeere** · 01-19-2009, 07:07 PM

Have to agree. With the shark fin and not really in Renault colors this is by far the ugliest spec09 car so far.

But there is still time. The title race is open

Williams would be cool if they stayed with their interim livery. Which they dont, Im afraid.

**SetSnonejog** · 01-19-2009, 07:12 PM

My eyes, my eyes!!!

I'll never get over that HUGE nose! I'm sure I'll have nightmares tonight.

**Twelearly** · 01-19-2009, 07:28 PM

Well, at least it´s not as horrid as last year´s thing/spawn/Michael Reiziger XD

**FetMiddle** · 01-19-2009, 07:50 PM

That's a lot of, um, yellow on that car. Egg yolk yellow at that. Perhaps it will be an acquired taste . . .

**assohillA** · 01-19-2009, 07:53 PM

This the ugliest F1 car I have seen since 2004
