Is that a special Valentine's Day livery? The wing interests me more than the nose, those and elements and end plates are very strange. I wonder whether it's real, or just a dummy.

Check out the multiple strakes in the rear wing endplates too. No team has anything like that so far. Mercedes has a single plane and McLaren have some small strakes, but nothing as extreme as the Alfa.
I'd expect Ferrari aero to be very similar.

Oh god, I've just seen the McLaren overalls *blueeeergh*

Alfa did say this years car would use unconventional aero ideas

Aww the Red Bull livery was just a one-off for the launch day

Yea @Spunkey they've done this for the past few years. I can understand 'their brand' and wishes to protect/keep promoting that but the launch liveries are awesome and would look great in-season.

That's a shame. I knew they'd done it in previous years but hadn't heard any clear mention that this year's was just for testing until I saw the RB shakedown video on the F1 YT channel.

The cars look so much better this year with the new aero rules. The Mercedes is stunning. Shame they can’t all keep their testing liveries.
Nice to see some different aero concepts.
McLarens bargeboard wing and sidepod winglets are interesting in themselves. Saubers front wing is odd, but I can see that as a theme this year.
Paintjobs on the other hand... lets hope most of these are just for testing...

Ferrari pictures (render) leaked ahead of the launch in the next 30 mins...

Is that a matte finish, or just a crappy texture on the render?
The Ferrari front wing follows the same idea as the Alfa, but not as drastic. The rear wings are almost identical, though.

That is a matt finish - just watching the launch event now.
They've taken launch events to a new low of corporate dullness. That's saying something, given McLaren's awkward effort yesterday.

Sure, it's not radical in livery, I didn't expect it to be. However, I love the matte paint.

It's a shame, I'm not always a fan of their test liveries but I thought this one looked absolutely fantastic.Aww the Red Bull livery was just a one-off for the launch day

I heard on the Autosport podcast that they were rumoured to be going for a different shade of red (like the Ducati motorbike team). Was that fact or fiction?
Soldato
It does look a different shade of red due to the matte finish. I'd say it's a lighter red, almost orange, not a nice deep Ducati red.
