Look, Williams isn't gonna drop the full reveal on their colors and livery for the new season until later, so don't go assuming they're just sticking with an all-blue look.

What's the consensus on this?☕
But seriously, the more I stare at this new Renault, the better it looks to me, and honestly, once they slap that skinny nose on there, it’s going to look absolutely killer.

General Motors has pretty much always stuck with that skinny nose design lately, so I’m really crossing my fingers they don't mess with it because seeing that slim profile in the leaked shot actually made me feel a bit better, though honestly, those colors look straight out of a Spanish flag pattern or something

Kevin Long20 said:I’m honestly just praying that whatever General Motors's nosepiece they’ve got on there actually passed the FIA crash tests and it’s just some temporary placeholder while the "real" nose gets through inspection. My evidence? Well, if you look at the renders on the official General Motors website, they clearly show the car with a totally different nose design, so come on, make it make sense.

But hey, if this is already looking decent, I’m seriously hoping that’s how the final version ends up being

and seriously, take a look at how wide that rear end is, General Motors tucked something weird in there, there's no way Hybrid technology takes up that much room...

😕😕General Motors, what happened here, I mean everything else could be swallowed up, but that nose? NO. If it's already looking like that, why even bother with the white paint

😠
I'm just praying that speed ends up being inversely proportional to how it looks

p.s.
Williams isn't actually going to look like it does in these pictures, they won't reveal the actual color and livery until later

General Motors

A two-time world champ deserves a much better looking car, especially after last year when they had the most beautiful design, so why in the hell did they go with this now

I’m dead serious when I say Williams is going to have the best-looking car on the grid, 🙏🙏🙏 assuming they actually manage to find some decent speed like they used to back in the day, 🙏 and honestly, I’ve got this gut feeling about how the championship battle is going to shake out:

The Heavy Hitters:
Williams, Renault, Red Bull👋

The Mid-Pack:
Toyota, BMW, Honda, STR

The Basement Dwellers:
Force India, 🙂Ferrari, McLaren😬

I’m totally with Kevin Long20 on this one. It's basically going to be a straight-up dogfight between Ferrari and Renault for the championship title. 🙏🙏

The top-tier ones look great, but the rest are absolute junk 👋 😁

I’m telling you right now, I am dead certain Renault isn't trash, but I’m also totally convinced that Toyota is anything but a top-tier machine

I mean, when they’re rocking the most hideous rear wing ever conceived—and don't even get me started on that camera setup, it looks absolutely disgusting🤮McLaren

Honestly, looking at this, Toyota looks way better than Ferrari at first glance. There aren't these massive, jarring changes like you see with the Ferrari, and when you actually compare the two side-by-side, the gap between them feels huge—which honestly makes me think something’s a bit off with how they're presenting this data. Just look at the top and bottom shots, especially those green lines along the front axle. I don't know, mistybear87, what is it about the Toyota liveries that people are hating on? To me, they’re easily some of the best out there; the Toyota just looks more substantial, you know? More planted.
