The lower and wider rear wing looks better, whereas the shark fin with its square, right angled end does not look good at all to me. Also the way they have put the livery on their square shark fin highlights an unsightly area of the car. The female and young males are olive-green with a yellow belly. They are very similar to female white-collared manakin, but there is no range overlap. First-year males have a golden tinge to the breast. I decided to wait until after the first race to vote for best looking car 2017 as I like to see what the cars look like in action on TV before I voted, as the impression you get from TV footage can be quite different to still photos. There is a noticeable join in the Martini stripes running along the nose of the car, near the front suspension, it would look a lot better if that looked like it was one continuous stripe.

The Red Bull livery for 2017 is the same as for 2016 apart from some minor tweaks here and there and I think the official launch photos really highlight some of the good and bad changes visually on the 2017 cars. I know from comments on here that some had wanted McLaren to change to an orange livery for quite a while, while the last few years liveries hasn’t been among their best I didn’t mind them and the silver chrome and red from the Vodafone era is still one of my all-time favourite liveries. Nose, overall. Most teams have two flat surfaces with a noticeable break except for Williams who get the nod here. The stepped nose of Force India is an outright disgrace. The most visually obvious feature of 2017 is the “shark fin”. Mercedes is the only team not to have gone all the hog but their vestigial 4″– 5″ is not pretty. Of the other teams, Haas has done the best job of hiding it with paint but honourable mentions must go to Sauber, Toro Rosso and Red Bull. The fin paint jobs of Williams, Renault and McLaren being particularly cringeworthy. In my opinion shark fins and T-wings don’t always look bad, I think the main factor is what the end of the fin looks like. If the end is square like on the Red Bull it doesn’t look good but if it is more angled like on the Toro Rosso it looks better.Expectations are high for Red Bull in 2017, but are they hiding just how radical the RB13 is? Red Bull RB13 Ferrari SF70H Ferrari SF70H, 2017 It occurs in the lowlands and foothills of the Pacific slope up to 1100m, being replaced on the Caribbean slopes of tropical Central America by the closely related white-collared manakin, M. candei, and eastwards of its range to northwestern Colombia by the golden-collared manakin, Manacus vitellinus, of which was formerly considered a subspecies. This is a bird of semi-open moist forest, tall secondary growth, shady plantations and gardens. One of my favourite looking F1 cars was the Williams FW26 with the walrus nose from 2004 partly because it was something different, if every car on the grid had looked like that I probably wouldn’t remember it so fondly. The orange-collared manakin is, like its relatives, a compact short-tailed bird with a heavy hooked bill, orange legs and brightly coloured male plumage. It is typically 10cm long and weighs 15.5g. Generally speaking there are a few changes to the shape of the cars in 2017, for me some of them work and some don’t.

I had some fun experimenting with this Orange Martini recipe and made seven different variations trying to find the perfect flavor balance. The lower and wider rear wings and the wider tyres do make the cars look better but then the return of the shark fins and T-wings has cancelled out some of that improvement. Ferrari have reversed some of the livery changes they made last year but the SF70H looks like another aggressive take on the new rules.

I have never been happy when our shirt is primarily dark green .. I like red green and white hoops … not dark green and a little red stripe and little white strip . McLaren’s much-vaunted new orange livery catches the eye but there are many more interesting details on the MCL32. They managed to keep the stepped front even though every other team have managed to create a good line they have a hump. Humps are seldom positive. While their debut livery last year may not have been brilliant it looks a lot better compared with this years. It is the same basic livery they have had the last few years and overall it still works, there are a few areas however where it doesn’t.
