I think as money tightens teams can not be as choosy with colour coordinated sponsors

Red Bull's livery is a mess now in my view. You've got the basic dark blue, then some bits of red for Total, yellow marks for Red Bull itself, the red of the Bull logo, the tricolour stripes, then the bloody purple... that purple has just pushed it over the edge. It's not even 'colourful' just a mash of too many colours - that Benetton was colourful! WB's analogy is pretty apt really. That said, i thought last year when they had that lighter blue shade at Silverstone, at a distance when you couldn't see all the pictures, the car really suited that overall look.

The problem is that they banned ciggie advertising! Now it's all just boring corporations who want to be seen in a 'sensible' light. All the best colour schemes are on tin tops these days.

Agreed.

The RB9 livery is so horrible it's leading the poll. It's certainly the most exciting colour scheme on this seasons grid.

Actually the majority think that is ISN'T the best looking car

I wonder how a 'colour scheme' could be deemed 'exciting'.

Not according to the poll.

Quite easily.

Let's recount then.

Votes for Red Bull: 6
Votes not for Red Bull: 21

The majority think that it ISN'T the best looking car, exactly as i said.

Well if you want to twist the results of the poll then whatever.

Someone called Sebastian voted and another one was Christian Horner. Mark voted against it.

Statistics, this is all they are.

I have noticed that a lot of teams do not have many sponsors this year. Sauber and Marussia stand out with this

[NHcheese]

Smetimes sponsors make a car look less plain.
And red bull have crap sponsors
and a crap livery with a million colours
and the nose is ugly and the whole thing is ugly!

NHCheese, are you a native English speaker perchance?

And I agree, sometimes sponsors really add, like McLaren and Vodofone, the colours are perfectly mixing together; Sauber's don't mix well with their new colours.

Red Bull are the sponsor!

But hey, it's doing better than the McLaren.
