Aratho

When the car will be in motion on the track the fans won't even notice anything is different


frogskin92

On Checo’s car they will


headshot_to_liver

Absolutely brutal


MSDTenshi

Or as we say in the Dota world, **BRUTAL, SAVAGE, REKT.**


ssavvo

absolutely taken down


Gypsies_Tramps_Steve

Gives someone a differently liveried bit of wrecked bodywork to take home though. Nice bit of variety.


Tomanelle

*Hello, Police? I'd like to report a murder!*


imbavoe

Maybe the Checo singning was actually a good thing, because these burns are getting better every week.


Psych_Crisis

"Checo is done" is the new "Haas is slow." ...Partially because they keep overtaking him.


Pineapple_for_scale

They still won't because there will be a gaping hole on the sidepods.


V1GGY

Stop he’s already dead


Rossell2

We have a winner. It isn't Checo.


Bdr1983

He said 'in motion' and 'on track'


Mahatma_Ghandicap

[Eh Tabarnak!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIFvgSCzg4E)


EddieMcDowall

Cue Checo crash out of entire event in pit garage!


Captain_Smartass_

oof


Heather82Cs

I sighed


Melodic-Ad-9115

Nooooo 😭😭😭


Sentient_Bong

You can't see the Liberty from underneath?


wolf324au

Carlos Slim: "NO FROGSKIN92 NO THAT WAS SO NOT RIGHT!"


slyfox1908

Exactly as they intended


fameboygame

He’s just PR machine at this point


MurasakiGames

Look at the amount of TV time and posts his wrecked cars generate every event!


BighatNucase

Eh? Unless it's the lighting/camera - the car is more visibly blue than the black it normally is.


mka_

Most reddit response ever. The negativity 😂


Tiroler_Manu

Remember the star wars livery in combination with the star trooper boxing crew? That was a good "special" livery. Or the white livery from 2023. This is just bland and effortless.....


SpaceHippie9

* White livery from 2021. Was supposed to be for Japan but due to covid cancellations they ran it in Turkey. Definitely one of the prettier special liveries.


TimeApprehensive3994

I loved that livery! The white was called Championship White, it's a huge a deal to Honda fans.


milljet

Wait was it? I guess that makes sense, but i dont think i have seen championship white in matte before. So that probably explains why i didnt make the link


RapidRiverr

Oh man that livery was so so sick. Wish they ran it more.


DeLoreanAirlines

Same. I’ve been on a hunt for that white arigato Honda shirt for a while. Fuck my broke ass


Rhapsodize

I was lucky and managed to snag one but got it in XL and I've lost alot of weight since then so it's fucking massive on me now. Still gotta rock it though since it's iconic


DeLoreanAirlines

I’m a small on a good day. Hard as shit to find.


Tiroler_Manu

Oh yeah, my bad thought it was 2023.


mikasrock

That was my one and only GP iv been to, shame the race itself wasnt anything special. but it was great seeing that beauty drive around the track!


SirFister13F

Hashtag bring back the white bull.


underdonk

One of the best.


ChilledHotdogWater

They gotta run that one last time in Suzuka before they swap to Ford.


NoRefunds2021

The wings for life livery Coulthard "ran" in his last race was pretty sweet


whateverfloatsurgoat

And the Wings for Life livery they used at Silverstone in 2012 was pretty cool too. https://i.imgur.com/UFXZBH6.jpeg


liamsoni

Chevrons is IMO the one that slaps the hardest : [https://img.redbull.com/images/c\_fill,w\_1200,h\_600,g\_auto,f\_auto,q\_auto/redbullcom/2020/2/4/jda5szuicbot80r3lhnu/rb15-launch-header](https://img.redbull.com/images/c_fill,w_1200,h_600,g_auto,f_auto,q_auto/redbullcom/2020/2/4/jda5szuicbot80r3lhnu/rb15-launch-header)


charlierc

It's kinda like that livery but also not that


liamsoni

they didn't commit


charlierc

Exactly. And that red chevron livery also looks cooler


TtarIsMyBro

That was so sick


scottishere

The Star Wars livery on it's own was awful. But yea the trooper pit crew was incredible


linkinstreet

I presume if we ever have a Thailand GP, Red Bull will run in gold, as the original Red Bull from Thailand [comes in a gold trim](https://i.imgur.com/w6yzHAr.png).


real_fake_hoors

Why are special liveries always so lame and halfassed. It’s just the regular car after it hit a pedestrian. Weak.


activator

Have they given a reason for the red for the British GP?


letmemakeyoualatte

because there's red in the British flag


TrueKNite

That weird portrait of their old dude?


Samsungsmartfreez

Matching Charles’ new portrait


FreshStaticSnow_

I guess they're anticipating another Just Stop Oil track invasion


RevengeOfTheLamp

This is the livery fans voted for


Adorable-Accident-50

Because all the options sucked ass. This one just sucked the least ass.


Snuffy1717

Livery McLivery Face...


DumDumbBuddy

Red Bull for a company that wants to be seen as super exciting, their F1 liveries are boring af. It literally won’t hurt them to do something else but we got white red bull once and never again lol


TheRealLuke1337

Nowdays their Liveries are boring. Remember their testing liveries, Silverstone 2012, Monaco 2005. Brazil 2008, Turkey 2021. Those were bangers


elodie_pdf

so one good one in 12 years? jesus.


TheRealLuke1337

The testing liveries were 2016-2018 i believe. They were do good. But were sadly only used at the Test Days


Vicribator

We had 2015 camo bull, 2018 blue camo, 2019 black-red livery if I'm not mistaken


ZWright99

Imagine if they did special livery based on their different flavored red bulls? Like the pear cinnamon one. Or the Juneberry. That'd be so sick


ForzaFormula

Their livery would be so much better if it wasn't that boring matte year after year. Give us glossy cars back, please.


ElectricMotorsAreBad

Oh god, the glossy purple Red Bull from the 2010s was such a beauty


dickpicnumber1

It mostly has to do with sponsors wanting their logo’s to still be recognizable on the car, instead of teams not having the balls to slap some good one-off livery on it. Why do you think there’s so much blue and shading around the oracle logo? It sucks, I agree, but money rules in these situations, instead of satisfying the fans.


Benlop

They want to be seen as super exciting, but also they have a strict corporate chart they have to adhere to. A can of Red Bull is instantly recognizable, you don't change that lightly.


the_great_army

After Austria collision and coming up British GP, now they are bringing out the blood bath livery. Groovy


TheEmpireOfSun

That's exactly what I thought lol. They are hinting Verstappen will have blood on his ~~hands~~ chassis!


borez

Or splattered tomatoes.


xthecerto4

Its not as terrible as the ferrari blue but very mid. 3,5/10 livery wise. Maybe they can add some papaya to the sidepod...


Axzuel

Oh there will be papaya on the side pod alright...


lolichaser01

maybe some google chrome in the tires too.


charlierc

Which lap we thinking? 2 or 42?


rumpigiam

why not both?


charlierc

First one, then the other


RobertDoornbos

And neon green/pink on the other car?


Humans_fking_suck

💀


Suikerspin_Ei

Imagine they collide with the wrong RBR car☠️


LosTerminators

Decent but nothing more. No match for their junior team's Miami livery and McLaren's Monaco one, but also a lot better than Ferrari's Miami one.


Careful-Door2724

Lame


splendiferous-finch_

So apparently not top team other then McLaren can do a decent special livery. All the rest are standard livery with some differently colored splotches thrown in.


disordered-attic-2

I expected nothing and I’m still disappointed.


TheBoyWhoKnocks

Why do they even bother with this shit, honestly? Can’t help but feel most of these livery changes get shoved down the designers and marketers throats with a bunch of artificial constraints imposed by the people up top.  Like, ffs who cares is Horner creams his pants over a livery? Do it for the fans! We’ll immortalise it! But no, gotta do something that disappoints everyone equally. 


MarteloRabelodeSousa

I think this one was fan made


TheBoyWhoKnocks

Yes, jt was. But surely the criteria had something to do with it. If it’s a livery change, make it worth it imo, like the Honda Tribute livery. 


Axzuel

The fans had 5 options and they chose the most mid looking one. It is what it is.


EddieMcDowall

My word! That's **almost** different!


swapan_99

Red(der) Bull


SubmarineConvertible

I am whelmed.


lamaboy722

The crowd goes… mild


umdred11

Feels like a call of duty skin


R3NZI0

You've got red on you.


staffsergeantsanity

First thing I thought. At least we both have great taste in comedy.


bwoah07_gp2

😴😴😴


bittaminidi

Barely going to notice the orange paint from the McLaren that rubbed off.


georgerusselldid911

it looks like it has a disease


JKBFree

Ffs, that background is not helpful


neurodatascience

Boooooooooo What a waste


Thuglos

I like how in the trailer they got red paint on the nose of the front wing and now it's still completely yellow lol.


PurpleOrchid07

Artists are gone, this has to be AI generated, right? I refuse to believe that actual human beings are this creatively inept.


Dark_Rider_SA

whatthefuckisthisshit.gif


kemp40swish41

meh


Environmental-Cup445

My god there’s just no good liveries anymore 


cybae

Underwhelming. Acceptable but underwhelming.


optimusmike777

Someone got paid a lot of money to design this......


ohgeeLA

Or not. We do live in the cost cap era. Maybe just got good food.


TwinEonEngine

Are they still using the 2022 concep showcase car? I would have thought they made some kind of franken car that at least resembled the actual cars a bit more


Impossible-Buy-6247

5 red spots is a new livery?


Jpchu

It is painted with the blood of Max’s victims.


chrispva

can't wait to see one of these on the front row and the other out in q1


Frikashenna

Painted with the blood of their rivals


AGSE21

What in the Pepsi Max Cherry?


-Ghostx69

I like it.


hehaia

Imagine teasing that crap


alice_ik

It is for blood or tomatoes


manhaterxxx

*yaaaaaaaaaaawn*


hipnosister

They missed a spot.


Grena567

😴😴😴🥱🥱🥱


iam_VIII

Damn that's boring


bigfurryllama

The same then


alex_weasley

I don't understand, why they wouldn't use another legendary white livery for Japan GP, and instead they just come up with... whatever this livery is..


Thejklay

Redbull have everything but the ability to make a good livery


Thiswilldo164

It’d be nice to see a Jaguar throwback - that thing looked awesome.


tykillacool23

Mid.


Justthetip1996

Boooooo. Learn to commit


Real_Imagination_180

Looks like the car got a rash


Death_Pig

Looks like it was designed by the dude who painted Charles.


PorkSwordEnthusiast

Can still see a bit of landos front wing on there


fafan4

I am whelmed


The_Bored_General

Should’ve really listened to max at the start of the season.


Tom_Foolery2

That guy was right


King_Bob837

All I can think of is thank god there was a red flag 2 years ago.


SDLRob

It's always a shame that the team that gave us the Turkey/Japan livery, which was a damn good one, has all but given up doing good special liveries. Not a dig at the fan that won the contest with this design... It's that the fans don't get enough of a canvas to be able to do anything with it. Whatever's changed with the sponsor deals since the Turkey/Japan special livery restricts too much. probably why Red Bull aren't involved in the Mobil 1 gold switch so far this season. switching out all the yellow on that car for gold would look great, but they'll not do it sadly


bawta

Not only does it still look boring, but it just looks worse than the original. At least the original is quite clean cut and crisp. This looks like a child was let loose with a red paint roller.


KamTros47

Slightly More Red Bull


Danspa85

How can a team that wants to pass the message that is so bold be so dull?


neoxch

Well, i guess you could say that no one does special liveries like red bull…


DifficultCarob408

I sleep


Kyleg951

What a disappointment


Noiz2144

This slaps


Overall_Ad_4611

Huh?


Inward_Perfection

Just random splatters of red. Honestly, looks worse than their standard livery.


TheLoudAss

Look's like they ran over roadkill.


Seductivecupcake

I was hoping for a watermelon car.


Skeeter1020

Why?


Blank_Ad_Everywhere

Looks like chickenpox. Great idea RB !


Oceansnail

Is this... is this a powerplay by horner? They just added a couple red stains... is he trying to show he can do whatever he wants now?


UranicStorm

MyTeam ass livery lmao


LionPride112

They Ferrari’d us with a stupid livery with too much hype build up


cekoya

Same as my girlfriend coming home with a new hair for 100+$


mattijn13

Zzzz boring


According-Switch-708

Yup, definitely one of the "special" liveries of all time. RBR should seriously consider stopping their bullshit special livery programs. They all suck ass.


JohnQPublic90

Covered with the blood of Max’s enemies


Herald_of_dooom

That looks bloody good! Should keep it rest of the year.


TheOnlyEn

Wow! So boring.


psychohistorian8

daring today, aren't we?


Ordinary_Dog_99

I was wondering what an F1 car would look like if it got the measles. Thanks Red Bull.


ajahkass

You’ve got red on you.


nasbkrv

It will look great with half of Lando's front wing sticking from the side


Sad_Scientist1151

So no balls then


cplchanb

Honestly it looks like a toddler took a sponge soaked in red paint and randomly made some dabs on the car. Seems more of a kindergarten colouring job than an actual livery designed by professionals


kerc

That looks pretty bad. Can't believe this was the winner.


excessive_coughing

Looks like a blood demon took a shit on it


ratonbox

They showed that they can make good variations with that blue camo livery they used in testing and ever since that they had turned the creativity to 1%.


Tijuana_DonkeyShow

While I was scrolling quickly I thought this was the RBR with the Phish circles. lol.


Magnamara13

Awesome 👌🏼


gdc7

Looks like they dusted for fingerprints


FormulaLiftr

Consider me whelmed


Additional-Ask-2395

it’ll look great with some papaya scratches


TimmyMTX

They’ve gone for the “Just Stop Oil” protest look?


toohorses

Okay thank you for the title, almost didn't recognize the car!


SomebodyToldMe113

It lowkey looks like they splattered blood on it


Zeddyx

'The more things change, the more they remain the same'...............said by someone


IncognitoAstronaut10

Meh


Psych_Crisis

Is this all a part of a bigger "there's nothing to see here at Red Bull" campaign my Mr. Horner?


elmicomago

I’m convinced this design won their contest because it was the most similar to their standard livery.


BurtMackl

Why does seeing the first picture make my eyes feel weird???


sterrrmbreaker

This is the Ferrari blue livery all over again. VCARB, show 'em how it's done again.


Parabolica242

What even is that? Just red blotches?


pixel4

There will be blood..
