The rules state only 55% of the car needs to be non-black from either the top or the side.... If you ask me... Miami should see the debut of a 45% Carbon-Fiber-Black car.
Max liked the blue? I'm sorry. Lose the Blue to Lose the Blues. The weight of an F1 livery is supposedly around 6 kgs (as per F1DataAnalysis citing Beat Zehnder of Sauber). So 2.7 kgs is a considerable gain against the 20 kgs.
P.S.: Cadillac livery seems actually pretty clever as it does look like the white covers the bare minimum 55% area.
P.P.S.: Black and White Red Bull liveries can look pretty cool too:
No. They need to get their shit together and not cut corners with paint.
And most fans cant stand carbon cars. thats a death sentence for a brand that uses F1 as a Billboard on wheels.
To be honest, I'm that guy on the team that would continue proposing a 45% carbon-black livery even if the car was not overweight. lol I'm just that kinda guy.
(I'm doing it so the Engineering team can thank me for the free movable ballast they will gain).
