I'm not happy. I mean I'm glad that the full Gulf livery will be seen on the grid. But not on a car that's likely to be towards the tail end of the pack.

Plus this new livery isn't anywhere close to topping the Gulf x McLaren livery used for the 2021 Monaco GP.

 

That Gulf one was a concept from a third party, this is the actual new livery;

Well that sucks. Not only has Gulf moved to a lesser team, but the livery looks even less Gulf like than it did on last year's McLaren.

 

But the Duracell battery is cool.

I believe I read on Planet F1 that they may revive the more iconic livery in the future, at least on occasion.

Be nice to see Williams competitive again some day.

The new '23 McLaren MCL60's livery is still giving me more Gulf vibes than the Williams.

 

Oh yeah fo scho bro

 

It is even more prevalent on the IndyCar side of things (Rossi's in particular).

There's something special about how the blue and orange gulf colors make a racecar pop

 

I see everyone is excited for the new season...

I hope Perez becomes WDC and then immediately retires.

 

Does it start soon?

 

First race is on Sunday.

 

Ah, been so little discussion here on amongst the guys I know, even the F1 fans.

 

the boss is back

He was happy to finish ahead of Hamilton.
