Don't make me *avatar quote* you... =(
Heh, I do like these colour schemes too, but I agree with you. The grid will look rather monochrome. I want the wild colours back!

It would also be nice if the OP had a picture of the revealed cars.

Thinks his PR is better than yours.
Damn, didn't see the thread till now! I hardly ever click OT community! Now I have a reason to.
Just want to see the RB baby! The Ferrari looks great as does the McLaren.

I want the yellow Jordan back
i want the blue bennetons back and the green jaguar
Wait... This is real?
I can't decide if I think this is playful and fun or Lotus trying to milk a joke way too hard.
It's from the Facebook page of WTF1.co.uk

Lotus has a completely different aero package than the rest of the launched cars so far.
I'm hoping they are on the right track and its not the front exhaust story all over again

If Massa can perform like he did in the last few races of 2012 then I would put money on him challenging Alonso next year.
That's because Button had the reputation of being average at best. Not to mention that the Brawn car came out of no-where with the double diffuser, I'd be surprised if there were any such game changer this year.

I like Massa, but he just hasn't been the same since the accident. But, he's a loyal #2 and those are hard to come by.

Can anyone tell me about this? I didn't know that Webber had any prior association with Renault at all (other than Briatore):
I assume the photo is from 2001, Webber was the test driver and I imagine Alonso is there due to his links to fab even though he was driving for Minardi. Or possibly this is from before he signed for minardi and there were both test drivers. I have no idea when the unveil was in relation to his signing for minardi.

Wow, you've blown my mind! I bow to your ridiculous level of F1 knowledge, good sir.

Look at the engine intake
It has just been cropped at the top as the whole car wasn't visible. Look at the rear wing.
I don't care what anyway one says, I think the Ferrari nose looks great
Yeah, you are right
Stupid they'd teaser half a car But I figure they thought nobody would see it...Yeah, you are right
At least they gave us something, I'm surprised they just didn't wait until the full reveal on Monday.

Smart money seems to be on purple being a prominent factor in the RBR livery this year. It's been seen on their trucks in Jerez, and their website is covered in it.
Me too, I don't know if I'll bother watching if Vettel starts dominating again.
Perhaps he's decided this year to actually take into account Webber's chin and the performance will be equal for both drivers.
Bahahaha. Like that'll ever happen.

It's going to be really interesting to see how the development race pans out. Less-so if someone starts to run away with it early on, as there will be more incentive to switch full steam ahead on 2014, but if we have another close year between 2-3 teams there's going to be a great cat and mouse of who can dare to continue to push 2013 developments.
Of course, this is much less of an issue for RB, Mclaren, Ferrari and Mercedes than it is for the other teams, but it's still going to be interesting.
Specifically with Lotus. They likely can't really afford to push through all through 2013 without harming their chances next year. But would it be worth more to them to go all out this year, when everyone around them has one eye on 2014? Big gamble.

That's about as likely as Newey not trying to cheat this year. Ain't cheating, ain't tryin' !

More purple...
Actually looks from that pic like the car doesn't even have a front wing, which would be... novel.
their webpage says to have an eye on : http://www.youtube.com/user/redbullracing

The purple gradient looks lovely in print, on the car? Not so much. Perhaps it will look better in daylight.
Also the nose step looks ironically like last year's Ferrari.
