2016 Renault Sport F1 Team - Renault

People, this is only TEST livery - no need to get angry rightaway

[proteus]

well that was extremely anticlimactic and even more disappointing.
letdown of 2016. seriously.

black, really?

well here's to HAAS having a full yellow livery then.

Imagine Haas going full black, Mclaren red/black, Manor red/black, Ferrari with more black, Renault black, and FI black/silver

Infiniti will be part of the sponsor portofolio.

Anyone else noticed the honeycomb heat plates / matte finish on the rear section of the sidepod?

Yeah that part is pretty sweet, a flash of yellow through the middle is all we need.

If those matte parts were yellow, I'd be all over that livery!! It's a weird kinda beautiful.

My reaction if that eventuates (black liveries all round):

Keeping it black with only a small hint of the Renault yellow is the sensible thing to do.

The board probably recognizes that 2016 will be a tough and transitional year. This is the message: "this is not a proper renault, so do not be disappointed by poor performance".

The wheel rims are interesting, much more chubbier than normal ones. Is this just for the show, or they intentionally developed different rims, like Mclaren did last year?

I wouldn't go as far as that. I think you need to be more positive of a year that's only 5 weeks old!

Manoah is our local positive-pessimist around here: He acts pessimistic so that he can be positively surprised afterwards .

But yeah, the livery could do some work. I do like the mat detailing on the back though, that is nice, but some more yellow accenting like the small shark fin would do wonders.

Bless his little cottons lol
I'm sure he will grow to love it. Change takes time to adapt to. We've had a few years of black and gold/beige. Now we have black and yellow. I didn't like it at first but 42 minutes in and I'm starting to warm to it. =D>

Livery is cool & people need to stop being so negative! A lot of people getting a bit too excited about "technical features", though. 2015 car with new paint.

The sponsors stickers were placed by morons. The Jack Jones logo in the side vanes is almost unreadable, at first I tought it was "Black ones"

Bob Bell is back in Enstone.
