Im thinking more along the lines of the old BMW Williams.

Although it proves they have commited for the Earth Dreams project, which was a worry for me.

Yet again another stupid colour scheme from a supposedly intellectual Formula One team.

Nobody is going to know which cars are which.

They shouldn't be allowed to put a livery on their car if it is not noticeably different to another car from a distance.

There will no doubt be confusion between the honda, toyota, bmw, super aguri, force india and possibly even mclaren in some instances.

After last year, you'd have thought Honda would have come up with something better than this. At least last year's car was distinctive.

After looking at it again it's not as bad as i thought but will still clash with the BMW Sauber. It would look quite nice if there weren't 10 other cars like it.

From a distance it will clash, but I do like the way that they’ve incorporated the “my earth dream” into a standard F1 livery.

More like "this is costing us the earth and I can't see any rewards...."

It's not a terrible livery just quite dull.

You guys have no taste whatsoever .
I like it .

The only part that doesn't flow with the design is that aero thing that looks like a paper shredder attached to the sidepods in the earth dark colours .
It might have been nice to see the design with a contrasting colour background so we might have gotten a better view of the overall shape .

Now , put batteries where the engine would normally sit , and electric motors for each wheel .
That's what the dream should be .

just horrible. I reslly liked last years color scheme. It took a while to grow on me but it was distinctive and very different. The strong green also was unique. This abomination is just plain bland and is all over the place. They shouldhave kpet the same color scheme from last year and moved forward. Those colours played no impact on their performance last year.

This is by far the ugliest looking car in the field.

When I read those posts in this thread, then it automatically reminded me a phrase from ioan.
As I posted in another thread most of the people around here have little knowledge of what F1 is really about, all they know is what color the cars are painted and who drives them. So all they can comment about is the drivers and the livery!


Everyone in their posts has concentrated on the livery here, although as Honda has already shown their new car on the race-track, then probably the more important aspect of that presentation was to acquaint the new colours.

And if I'm going to talk about my impressions about the livery... Well, I don't have actually any notable emotions. Doesn't look weird, unbearable or strange to me. And doesn't bring me into exaltation or enjoyment while seeing in. Just another new solution of putting the colours on the car.

What looks interesting me that I have quite often noticed people saying "ugly" about one or another livery. Actually I can't remember any car that seemed truly ugly to me (although for example 1996 Jordan's "yellow" was clearly too "colourless" or "faded", but ugly isn't the proper word to describe it). As far as there are colours in this world, they only variegate the life. And coming back to earlier quote, then yeah - liveries really are a marginal "problem" if we can call them a "problem" at all. For eyes some colour schemes are more satisfying to see and others not so much, but all in all - that doesn't change anything, does it?
