[…] know, it’s funny – back when Marussia took over Virgin Racing, I said on more than one occasion that they should mix up the livery by adding in some blue, to match their corporate colours. But […]

I’d have to agree, that HRT livery is gorgeous and makes far better use of the checkered section than the current overstyled one. But then I do miss the Ligier/Prost era.

Also, the McLaren idea isn’t very Marlboro-ey at all, just a nice red & white livery and would be a lovely refresh for them. However, as has been said before, Red Bull & McLaren designs seem to be set in stone so nothing so radical would happen to either of them barring extreme circumstances. It’s a shame.

That HRT livery is far too good for the team!
The ‘Diet Red Bull’ idea for Toro Rosso would be great, though it would be nice if they kept the big bull. It’d work well with the Cepsa red as well.

I also agree that Ferrari is the best of those. A lot of people want the return of black wings!

McLaren: I love the classic Marlboro livery, but I think that going retro don’t work sometimes. I would be a little fake if Marlboro isn’t putting the money. Ok, Lotus did the same… but 2 teams doing that is too much.

Williams: the problem I see is the shade of blue they’re using. Its too dark. And dark colors hide the shape of things instead of enhance them. A lighter blue, like the one they’ve used in the glory days would be fine.

HRT: I would LOVE to see a Repsol livery in F1. (with orange rims!)

I absolutely love the McLaren idea. A good shout, iconic.

HRT – I’d swap the navy and lime over, and give them something amazing, and easy to spot (given there are a few navy and black cars on the grid already).

Marussia – Not convinced. I think a Danka Arrows 1997 design, with more red sections. Some sort of cyrillic text and Vodka sponsorship deal too!

Out of all of them, Ferrari is the one I’d most like to see in reality.

Sauber looks like Minardi reincarnated!

And seeing pictures of the new HRT logo and driver suits lead me to believe that their car will feature some gold on it!
