Seeing the new paint schemes for each F1 car ahead of a season is always thrilling. It signals that everything is about to kick back into life.
Over the next fortnight, each team will reveal their livery for 2023. Haas kicked off proceedings this week with their fancy black-dominated livery.
I’m keen to hear what you guys are looking out for and what you’re excited about during the car launches.
For me, I want to see if Mercedes bring back the black livery they ran in 2020 and 2021. I think it looks a lot cooler. There are also rumours that Red Bull’s launch may include an announcement about a partnership with Ford. Wouldn’t that be exciting?
If you want to know which days cars are being launched, this page on F1.com has all the info.
Yeah, while Ferrari is always red, I am interested to see if they bring back the white like they had in 2016. Apparently it's cursed though...
Red Bull's "new" livery really disappointed me. I was excited after their tweet about a "blank canvas", only for them to reveal what looks to be an exact copy of their 2022 livery. Argh!
It would be really cool to see yellow Ferrari this year. Because their livery from Monza last year was pretty cool and it made me wonder “Why not to try with yellow?”...
That's a good point. I had forgotten about that livery. It would be cool to see it return. I especially liked the word "Ferrari" in the classic yellow lettering on the rear wing!
Interesting. Any reason in particular for McLaren? I initially was a bit underwhelmed by Haas, I thought they could’ve done something more imaginative, but the more I look at it, the more I like it.
Not in particular. Just a team I’m excited about this year. I’m relatively new to F1 (only started watching last year) and McLaren is one of the teams I’ve been following.
I must admit, Ferrari is always intriguing. I wonder what will Alpine and Aston Martin look like?
And yes, I always thought that Red Bull have boring livery and I am not impressed with the look of their new car that they just anounced.

Looking forward to Red Bull and McLaren!
I was really impressed by Haas this year. They've really mastered the white/red/black color scheme.

They're a great choice! Lots of history and definitely on a path back to the top.
