I’ve always maintained that I preferred the 2006 Williams, with its stronger shade of accenting turquoise, to the one that followed; but of late, I have to admit to changing my mind. Switching the nosecone to white really helps this livery, as does the addition of Lenovo as a major sponsor across [Read More]
This design changed so little between 2001 and 2005 (except for Compaq becoming HP) that you could pick it out for any of those years, but it was in 2004 – a relatively bland year generally – that it stood out best. And not just because of the “walrus nose”. While they could be criticised [Read More]
I don’t like picking the same team for back-to-back years in this list – you’ll see elsewhere that I’ve tried to avoid it as much as possible. But Williams take it here, for the genuinely striking and memorable Rothmans livery. It was good in ’95 and ’96, too (less so in ’97), but in [Read More]
With the field thinned out somewhat for ’93, the classic Canon-and-Camel Williams is a more obvious winner this year. It’s a really effective combination of three different aesthetics – the yellow of Camel, Williams’ own blue and the white and red of Canon – that shouldn’t work but [Read More]
As the various teams prepare to get pre-season testing underway tomorrow, the weekend has seen a deluge of new car launches and livery reveals... [Read More]
To celebrate the relaunch of F1 Colours, here's a rundown of the ten best livery designs to appear in F1 since the site began in 2007. Controversy: guaranteed. [Read More]
We had tomorrow, 22nd January, down as the launch date for the Williams FW37 – but it’s snuck out today, thanks to a cover story in F1 Racing magazine. Unsurprisingly, of course, the brilliant Martini livery from last year survives intact with just a few tweaks. The Martini [Read More]
Perhaps it's the fact that 2014 didn't see too many in the way of drastic changes to the previous year's liveries - or perhaps it's just that we expect that 2015 may see a radically different style grid for more reasons than one - but whatever the rationale, it seems that there's a growing trend among fantasy F1 livery designers to already be looking forwards to next year, and styling possible future cars.

It’s a shame Martini is such a horrible, horrible drink – because it really does make for a fantastic racing livery. Okay, so this isn't as good as some of the mockups that have been kicking around - but it was probably never going to be. It's also a heck of a sight better than that faked photoshop that was purported a few weeks back, so that's something... [Read More]
So the rumours have been gathering pace (to the extent that Autosport have run a story that all but confirms it) that Martini are indeed going to be title sponsors of the Williams team this season... and it's something that seems to be making F1 fans everywhere very happy. [Read More]
