February 2024 has been the host for the Formula 1 teams revealing their 2024 challengers and the liveries fans will be seeing racing around the tracks this season. For so many fans the 2024 season is already a disappointment as it seems most teams have switched out bright colours and fun design for carbon fibre bases with minimal colour! Fans have been expressing opinions on all forms of social media with many criticising the lack of creativity put into the designs.
Take a look at the cars:
Alpine A524: The new Alpine has been a great disappointment to fans as the team have previously run cars with full colour bodywork.
Williams FW46: The 2024 Williams is a muted version of their 2023 car with a lot of the side colour being replaced with bare carbon fibre. The bright blue of last year’s car has also been switched out for a deeper shade for the 2024 season.
Haas VF-24: Haas was the first scheduled reveal and set a precedent for the amount of carbon fibre fans would be seeing in 2024. Fans were disappointed the team had switched to a carbon fibre base, only keeping their classic white on the top side of the car.
Red Bull RB20: As it is every year, the 2024 Red Bull features the same classic livery that has been displayed on the car for the last 20 years!
McLaren MCL38: McLaren were the first team to reveal their livery dropping it as a surprise over a month ago! The car is a revamped version of the papaya livery that has been on track since 2018.
Stake F1 C44: Stake F1 had to most exciting reveal of the year as a completely rebranded team from its previous Alfa Rameo form. Many fans have compared the incredibly bright car to a highlighter and look forward to seeing a new colour and style on track!
Aston Martin AMR24: The 2024 Aston Martin challenger is almost identical to its 2023 version with the slight change of a brighter green base.
Mercedes W15: Mercedes received mixed opinions from fans with many being excited the silver variant has been brought back and mixed in with the classic back we have been seeing over the last few years. However once again the team has been criticised for being a part of the carbon fibre club!
Ferrari SF-24: Ferrari have stuck with their classic red livery for 2024 with only some minor changes to the livery that was run in 2023.
Visa Cash App RB VCARB-01: Visa Cash App RB’s have been the topic of conversations since their rebrand and name was revealed earlier in the year. Many were excited when the car was revealed as it reverts back to the livery that used to be used when the team operated under the Torro Rosso name.
What do you think of the 2024 liveries?!
