Renault reveals its 2016 F1 car and livery

Looks mean, I like it!

 

Not bad. Won't look as cool without the yellow tires.

 

Great livery, I am glad they stick to a re-interpreted black.

Looks sweet. I like it.

 

Very nice.....without Maldonado the car is a lot nicer

 

almost like a F-1 car again! stretch the width and wings ... and tires we'll have a looker!

 

Nice. I'm glad they got rid of the red accents

 

Are the wheels different than the normal F1 wheels... I can't quite tell.

 

At least they've managed to design a proper nose this time…!

 

+1

Not bad at all.

Just not sure about the front wing - I get that they're trying to control the airflow aft, but they're nasty looking things to me - Too big & 'cumbersome' for my taste.

Cheers,

?

Look pretty normal to me..... Hard to say being 'black on black', but nothing jumps out at me - Just the usual tiny wheels & massive sidewalls as always....

Gotta love how the Pirelli logo is *always* perfectly horizontal in these pix......

Cheers,
Ian

 

According to Andrew Benson´s twitter, this is a temporal livery for pre-season, they´ll have another one later. And that´s the 2015 car, isn´t it?

So this was a great presentation of... nothing.

 

Shame. Hope they make up their minds and stick with this livery. It's stunning.

That or the ''old'' colours of blue and yellow. Very distinctive and utterly fantastic looking.

 

I don't think so.

Even discounting their "twin tusk" nonsense from early last season, this one looks much more tightly packaged than '15.

Hope those teeny radiator inlets can keep it all cool enough...... [See; McHonda for further evidence. ]

Cheers,
Ian

 

+1

And another +1

I'm a little surprised Ghosn hasn't "mandated" they return to "French blue" as before.......

Cheers,
Ian

 

Because Ghosn is not French enough... ;-)

 

Concur.

With as crazy as weight savings is in F1, I actually wonder if part of this is driven by shaving a few grams from the car by not even painting the thing.

 

I hope the go back to a yellow livery inspired by the turbo era cars. They would have total brand recognition then: a yellow car with RENAULT plastered across the back. It would definitely stand out from the rest of the pack then and wasn't that the point of all this buying a separate team? To get the recognition for their brand they did not get in the red bull.

 

I've read that this is not the final colours (livery).

 

Agree 100%

 

Looks horrible, IMO.

Why so many black cars these days? Go back to the 2000 season and see how colourful the grid was.

Also, why is the Jack Jones logo so low. It might as be under the car..

 

NEEDS MOAR TIRE.

Awesome pic.

 

It looks nice in black. Aggressive and ready for some damage.

 

I liked it!
