Das Audi. German minimalists. I think the livery is okay, but honestly… they should have copied the racesuits for the car too!

Mercedes will unveil the livery of its 2026 single-seater, the W17, today Thursday, 22 January. This reveal will take the form of digital images broadcast on Mercedes’ official social media channels, without a physical presentation of the car.

:roll_eyes:

The W17 will only be officially launched on 2 February, after the Closed Test.

If they’d just make the front and rear wings white, it would look so much better.

Ewww, that Ferrari does not look good at all. That livery looks like an old packed of Marlboro Reds, and not in the good kind like the old McLarens… Also, historically the Ferrari cars that has the most white in the livery has been some of the slower cars…

Agreed. Normally Ferrari is great at this, but this does not work for me. At least the HP blue was applied sensibly.
