    It may hurt your eyes but at least it's a little different, I quite like it, even though it's just a testing livery.

    Yes, I agree. I've always hated the dog's dinner that is the Red Bull livery but I love this; can't see the sponsors accepting a 'camouflage' paint job though.

    And what's this S-duct all about then? Not so secret anymore thanks to BLS's super-sleuthing.

    Looks like more slots to the right of the Total logo and maybe side of s duct on top of nose to the right of '3'. Looks interesting.

    Atleast it gives him some damage experience for when he cocks it up in the race.

    All the build up, the test colour scheme, the hype............... and then the letdown.

    Looks like they've missed out ideas, gone back onto it and slapped a few colours and sponsors on as an afterthought.

    There would have to be warnings to epilepsy sufferers before each broadcast if they had done that

    This car is a heap of steaming dung and Horner, Newey and Marko should hang their heads in shame instead of lashing out and blaming everyone else. They act as if they have some kind of divine right to dominate and now they want to change the rules to suit themselves. I'd like to think that the FIA would tell them where to stick it but, knowing how messed up the sport is, they'll probably end up getting what they want. This is supposed to be a competitive sport not some Machiavellian game of who can twist things in their favour.

    I heard that Renault are in talks to take over Toro Rosso and as for RBR, good riddance, I'd say; their attitude stinks.

    I love the fact that Horner is saying that fia changed rules to cut redbull advantages. He says they banned flexi body work, off throttle maps, blown floors etc. I always thought that flexi bodywork was never allowed. Plus RedBull have been found guilty of lots of 'errors' like hand adjustable suspension, etc. So it's a bit rich of RedBull to say the rules should be changed as Merc are out in front!!!!
    Once again RedBull show them selves for the sportsmen they are!

    The problem is that they are the team that cried wolf (not Toto). They've bitched and moaned so much that any genuine points have been lost in the hissy fit. It's the case of not what you say but how you say it. They are just looking like bad losers which will seriously dent any hopes they have of getting things changed. They need to make productive suggestions, not just start throwing the toys out of the pram.

    I suppose the fact that they decided to get a special deal from FOM isn't going to help them in campaigning for a fairer F1. Do as I say not as I do! If they gave up their unfair financial assistance then perhaps they might get a better response.
