WATCH: F1 2022 cars ranked by liveries
The liveries for all the 2022 F1 cars are out, and after an unhealthy amount of just staring at them, here are my cars ranked by their looks and not their personalities ... which are lovely, I'm sure.
10 Haas VF-22
The American-based team has ditched main sponsor Uralkali because of the conflict in Ukraine, but other than that the livery remains the same. When you consider that they pretty much halted any work on their 2021 car in favour of working on this one, but couldn’t be bothered to give us something new to look at, it’s kind of disappointing.
It’s all white … Fascinating …
9 Red Bulls RB18
Yawn … the Austrian-based team has stuck with pretty much the same livery they have had since 2016. It is the bog standard design we’ve come to expect from them - the navy blue with a bit of yellow and red - and with the exception of one or two updated sponsors, is almost identical to what they raced in last year.
Remember when they had a splash of purple on their cars. Pepperidge Farm remembers …
8 AlphaTauri AT03
In a world of metallic paint, and elbowed greased shine, there is something to note about the matte approach to the AT03. While the rest of the paddock has gone for glitz and glamour, with a chance of regurgitation, the workman Alpha has a clean look to it. It’s as safe as houses with an inoffensive blue and white design, I guess, but it won’t win any modern art exhibitions.
Or maybe it could? Not sure what that says about my take on modern art.
7 McLaren MCL36
Yes, orange, blue and black do go together as far as colour schemes go, but could the Woking-based outfit not rearrange those colours just a smidge more to give us something new, different, exciting.
No, is the answer, and much like Red Bull and Haas, the
