Formula 1: Ranking every team's car based on new paint schemes

Formula 1 is approaching its new era in 2022 with the new season just around the corner.

Testing took place in Barcelona last week and we got a proper look at each team’s new machine, with some eye-catching colour schemes to boot.

8. McLaren

We might annoy a few with this low ranking. We liked the McLaren last year and the Gulf livery it had for Monaco but in trying to repeat that for this season we’re not sure it’s quite worked. Even so, plenty like it and so it’s perhaps one to split opinion.

6. Aston Martin

The Aston has got different shades of green and it looks a step up from the pink touches it had last year – the drivers will hope it’s a step in performance too.

5. Mercedes

The silver is back for the Silver Arrows and it looks
