Most of these liveries are seriously A LOT better than the ones we have in reality. Great job guys!

For example Red-Bull Zero Calories is amazing, as well as the classic McLaren one and the Merc from the previous page.

its annoying isn't it. how every year we see some fantastic concepts, when in reality they always seem pretty dull. There must be more to it than we think in terms of influencing the design.

Broadly speaking, positioning logos in places where they can be clearly seen, not distorted by the car's surfaces and against a colour that doesn't clash with them is probably the driving force.

Some of these liveries are very nice, but viewed on TV, from a distance, they might not stand out so well. Increasingly modern F1 liveries tend to be very simple in terms of patterns etc. I would think this stems from keeping in mind the vast array of devices and image quality people consume F1 content on. Your sponsors need to stand out and livery needs to look good on a 50 inch 4K TV and a couple hundred pixel wide photo on Twitter, to give just two extremes.

I suspect we'll see a continuation of the teams moving towards liveries heavily based around being mostly single colour, two at the most, with flashes of others, to get that recognisability that is crucial. You only need a flash of red to know it's a Ferrari, last year's Williams really stood out with it's mostly white paint job, it's probably why Red Bull has it's dark blue base to make the red / yellow really noticeable, rather than the cans light blue / silver. If Merc claims silver for itself and Mclaren goes with orange or something, that would make a lot of sense.

yes but must not forget one thing; these concepts look great but they are just flat 2D side - photographed photoshop
excersizes. In real life, the lines would not correspond from another perspective and could look messy and cloggy.

Then we have the fact they're artistic impressions, so done with a sense of 'freedom'. In reality, this freedom does not
fit so well becuase of sponsorship deals with the money paired to it. Brand recognition, etc etc.

So how great some livery could look, in real life there are reasons they aren't used. Like the all-black lotus; When Total still was a prominet sponsor, they would demand a very recognisable Red visible. That's the immediate end of the artistic impressions there. Same goes for other sponsors on other cars.

In a way it's sad, true. Still, it's real life and it has been like that for decades.

Am I right in thinking Santander sponsor both Alonso and Button? So we could see the red on the McLaren due to their association and hopefully the white and maybe shades of grey or orange. I hope so as it would look fantastic!
WWKD- What would Kimi do?

Santander sponsor both Ferrari and McLaren. In 2014 their logo was only on the McLaren overalls, but with Alonso returning to the team it would not be surprising to see Santander step up their sponsorship and appear on the car again.
