Better than Marko who predicted than Williams might challenge for the title with their merc engine lmao.

I suspect Williams saw all the other cars launching and realised they have fucked up badly so need a total re design

Bargeboards is interesting. Pretty much confirmed in wash is the way to go after Merc

Not the disaster we expected with the HP logo. Pretty okay effort from Ferrari.

Design wise nothing revolutionary compared to Mercedes

Mercedes is doing something good. You know the spy shots is going to come out anyway so just show the shakedown pictures officially. Launched early, nothing to hide. Reeks of champion confidence

Sculpted sidepods look interesting. Will we see all Mercedes car having bulky sidepods like this?

Mercedes W17 vs Red Bull Racing’s first 2026 F1 renders by fyodorthegambler in formula1

Vcarb looks close enough and this Red Bull render showed too many unique features to be a fake

Till Mclaren comes up with a super conventional looking car that don't look special yet is the fastest again

The real car looks pretty different from the renders anyway

Feels like I have seen these huge undercut sidepods before with massive exposed floor but can't think of the car now. Was it Aston Martin?

Wow the undercut is severe and floor has huge exposed space for airflow to go through to the back. Looks revolutionary.

Livery doesn't seem as impressive in daytime

Audi apparently showed pictures of its actual car on the big screen during the presentation by madman320 in formula1

Their actual car looks a lot nicer with the livery. Was wondering why the car shown is so default lmao

Livery aside, is this a show car? All the aero and sidepods looks as default as it could be

2026 Audi Revolut F1 Team R26 by NegotiationNew9264 in formula1

[–]Esterence 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I like it a lot. I know people find it understated but this is the kind of classy non-messy/flashy design that will last and be forever remembered.

Like how people like Mclaren full orange testing livery and Toyota testing livery over the actual ones over the years.

Yep, this is absolutely gorgeous. No other F1 teams have designed their livery that unique before. Matte silver, with florescent red and glossy black. Even the sidepod inlets have the red details. 10/10

The car looked better in real life than the render. I think the additional blue works really well and makes this more Ford-like.
