It has a good bit of yellow if it's like the shot that was shown a few weeks ago or do.

That one was fan made.

 

[dubc35]

Seriously Renault, you had one job! Add color to the grid!

 

[Ark]

I've updated Renault in the OP. It's the end of an era, folks.

 

[dubc35]

I can't wait for the Baku GP....because I'll be watching Le Mans at that time!

 

[Jezbollah]

Renault with black livery? Bah.. Yellow or bust.

All you're seeing there are black side-pods. The Yellow turning vein should give a hint to there being a typical corporate yellow/black scheme.

I'd feel bad, but fuck Pastor.

The only problem I have with Renault next year is that Magnussen is driving a car with that shit engine instead of the Mercedes. But I'll gladly pay that price for losing Maldonado.

You'd rather see him in a Manor?

 

[Aiii]

Maybe if he's going a lot slower he'll have more time to properly judge a situation.

Fairly excited that F1 is ramping up again.

It'll last untill halfway through the first day of testing, when it turns out nothing has changed.

But that's obviously the best part. Excitement, reveals, build-up, speculation, all ending in a huge disappointment.

Yeah, I ended up buying F1 2015. Gonna be Maldanado exclusively.

Hopefully not in multiplayer

Have you played F1 games with multiplayer? It's like a nightmare where everyone is Maldonado. Even the walls are Maldonado.

7 minutes to go and their webserver crashed, so yay.

I guess they found a new job for Pastor within the team, at least.

Thanks!

Pastor is with us in spirit <3

They're still using Flash, so I'd say it's well deserved.

 

[Aiii]

Their Twitter is continuing to hype the reveal and is ignoring the websites woes: https://twitter.com/Lotus_F1Team

The replies to their tweets are fun.

Formula E car at their F1 presentation, #legitimacy.

 

[ramparter]

Nice

 

[jambo]

Just pull the fucking sheet back, ugh.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Get

On

With

It

 

[nature boy]

Is this the actual car launch or just an announcement on Renault's motorsport activities?

Probably just the livery.

UGH.

 

[DBT85]

Not enough Yellow

 

[Aiii]

Well, that's... black.

 

[thechemist]

 

[Risgroo]

aaaaaand it's black :/

 

[brotkasten]

Wow. Entirely black, with a small yellow accent. How disappointing.

Looks so bland..

Edit - Not final

"Are you abandoning your yellow colour," host Louise Ekland asks Stoll.

"You can see how elegant this livery is," Stoll replies. "Will it be black at Melbourne? Guess... You'll see, but the elegance of the livery will remain."

So this is the testing livery for now.

Elegant :/

 

[Aiii]

It's not even the final livery, jesus. How pointless, Renault.

 

[Risgroo]

Not the final livery? phew

 

[Blimblim]

Looks so bland..

Looks like it's not the final livery. I fail to see the point of this unveiling...

 

[jambo]

 

[DD]

Not their final livery, not their new car... What the fuck was all this for, then?

 

[Massa]

Just like McLaren I bet they're saving the good livery for when the car isn't complete shit.

 

[jambo]

I think it's going to look super weird on a race track.

The yellow stage makes a great contrast, but I don't think it'll pop as much on a racing track.

 

[ramparter]

Press.

 

[nature boy]

I want my 25 minutes back Renault.

 

[Zeknurn]

What's up with the licorice car.

 

[Tempy]

Ocon is reserve driver. He did pretty well in GP3 (last year's champion).

The emotion is overwhelming at Enstone, they have never seen an #F1 car before. #BusyWatchingTheLiveStreamToo

Gotta post the picture to that tweet.

I love that account.

Oh thank god, I don't have to scream out Y'all motherfuckers had one motherfucking job then.

Did they say that it isn't the 2016 car? I turned the stream off, after they showed the livery. Didn't have audio on either.

Is that oil leakage.

 

[brotkasten]

While that would be really funny, it sadly isn't. It's the veil that covered the car. They "revealed" the car at Enstone at the same time.

 

[Zeknurn]

They will probably invert the colours for Melbourne.
