I don't mind too much the liveries as long racing has improved (it'll not)

dunno why don't they do the forged carbon fiber effect like those fancy hypercars

Again, why is this part left black? It will look so bad from a front view.

Is it to hide the details of aero from spies? Or the weight saving

The McLaren looks rather dull in detail. Maybe they have some awesome underfloor or something.

Motorsport.com are pretty certain that the images are photoshopped to hide detail on the floor.

The new Red Bull will probably trounce the opposition, but man the elepahant tusks that have been added to the engine cover make it look like something from the 70's. And not in a good way. The modern tea pot.

Don't know why we even bother with car launches, besides the livery reveal, cars are very rarely indicative of what's going to turn up for testing for race 1. If I can remember correctly, Mercedes when they revealed their car in 2022 didn't even have it's key feature - the sidepod less design, which didn't appear until the first test.

Although I do miss the days of the over-the-top car reveals of the 90's and 00's.

Oh yes, more Benetton revealing their car in an ancient ampithetre please. And Horner could have "suggested" Geri reprise her role from McLaren's launch in 97.

The cringe factor in the non singing parts is off the charts. You have been warned........but still better than the bland reveals nowdays.

dunno how Netflix didn't snapped the rights to broadcast car launches exclusively on their platform yet, with bits of drama and action of course

The reason is even dumber.

In the Jeddah weekend, the ramadan starts that Sunday so they don´t want to hold a GP that Sunday. Move it to another weekend I would say but no, race is held on Saturday.

And because there always has to be minimum a complete week between two Grand Prix, they can´t hold the Bahrain race a week before on Sunday so they moved that to Saturday as well.

Good news, let's hope that stays the same after those 3 years.

there's always the option to host the Saudi Arabian GP at Portimão, given Portugal was once colonized by arabs
