F1 2023 Car (livery) launches

[GravyMonster]

A couple of the reports I saw said that the floor on the Alfa launch car wasn't legal for the 2023 regs, so this doesn't seem surprising that they're selling it. More a surprise that they're happy to waste the resources building it, given the cost cap.

It will be covered as marketing and thus not under the cost cap

Smart loophole to bypass the cost cap.

AlphaTauri at 22:30z today.

 

[Feek]

Meh

 

[Hawk Tuah]

Not wasting any money on designers under the cost cap.

 

[Mr Jack]

Meh

Impressively cheap looking renders there. Minimum effort launch at a new level. Those wheels are cool and the rest of the car looks okay, not stunning but not ugly either.

Interesting that Orlen have moved from Alfa Romeo to Alpha Tauri. They were sponsors due to Kubica I believe, but seem to now be unrelated to him and decided to stay.

Totally impressed by the level of dullness this year, sad times

A complete dullfest indeed. They're just livery launches for the sponsors (not that there seems to be many these days). We wont actually see most of the new cars until testing.

Are McLaren the first team to launch with their actual car? Some pretty major aero differences there.

 

[SDK^]

The MCL60 looks awesome !

 

[Feek]

Pretty









And the other teams should take notice, that's how a car launch should be. Twenty minutes, job done.

 

[Hawk Tuah]

Nice to see an actual car. Looks like a bit of a mish-mash of concepts from other teams last season.

Stella didn't sound particularly optimistic about their performance.

 

[Mr Jack]

Stella didn't sound particularly optimistic about their performance.

Expectation management, I expect, but aiming for anything above 4th place is surely beyond them.

 

[Feek]

Stroll is missing one very important point in his future plans. While Lance is driving, they’re effectively one driver down compared to the other teams

And I shouldn’t laugh but Rachel Brookes introducing Mike Krack

It's the Green Red-Rarri. Another mish-mash of stuff from last season.

I suppose we were spoilt with all the differing concepts that showed up last season. A convergence of designs was bound to happen.

Still nobody's revealed a zero-pod clone.
