Yikes. The new Renault livery gets more and more ugly everytime I see it...

i thought the blue/yellow on the last couple renault's looked pretty good, but this is too much . . .

i do not see radiator air intakes on those sidepods it it just the camera angle and lighting ?

I agree, I think the R26 was a great looking car....the R27 has a nice shape, but the livery is terrible....

Radiators are there, but they are an interesting shape!

Is it me or are teams like Renault, Williams, and Red Bull are copying Ferrari's bi-plane front wing and having the mirrors placed on the outside of the sidepods. But i do have to say that Renault has one ugly paint scene, the car itself isn't terrible looking.

Actually... I think the paint sceme is a nice change. Too much White and blue on the grid! IMHO

I agree that more color isn't a bad thing, but the yellow and the orange?

Colors aside, I can't wait for the season to start!! Anyone have thoughts on who will provide the biggest surprises??

I think that the biggest surprise will be both McLaren drivers.....one. Everyone thinks that Alonso is going to be slow in the McLaren, but i have to differ not only does he have a point to prove but he has already been the fastest at testing in Valencia in the new McLaren.
two. I think that Hamilton will show what he is made off and give Alonso a healthly run for his money.

Do you think that this season Merc/McLaren will make a car that will reliably last a race distance?

Will Williams have another dismal season? Will Honda continue its forward progress? Will Toyota continue to get mediocre results despite monstrous cash investments? How will Toro Rosso look with V8s? So many questions!!! I just can't wait!!!

UPDATE: The 2007 Williams is released!

Too much like the HP colours for me...It's just more blue and white in a different sceme... boring. It would be really cool if they did the whole car in the dark blue!

By the way... Over the years i've been using F1live.com, as a non-member, as my F1 news source. Is there a better place that any of you could recommend?

Thanks

I would like it a lot if they went back to the old Rothmans colors.....that would be cool. And if McLaren went back to the old Marlboro pink and white.....good times

Oh and f1racing.net is a good site....they usually have the most pictures
and Crash.net is good all-round motorsport site

Not necessarily better but in addition to F1Live I read F1i.com and grandprix.com everyday. For the most part it seems like they all reprint the same team and FIA press releases. Grandprix.com seems to offer a bit of insight or analysis that the others don't.
