ING Renault F1 Team launch new team logo - First Pic

[Giuseppe F1]

The fact there is alot of 'royal blue' in the logo may give some hint as to the base colour of the actual car livery.

I expect a base blue with wisps and flairs here and there of ING orange and Renault yellow

I think ING are a great partner but that bloody lion keeps on making me thing of Renaults neighbour Peugeot! :)

[Donney]

It could be an awesome livery!!!

You are right about the lion though! :p :

[cinnamon33]

Eww... I hate this dark blue!

[waitey]

dark blue goes well with white and red more than orange and yellow, oh well it could be interesting. I expect it to be basically the same style of livery with the recent car just replacing the light blue with dark blue and adding a bit more orange and yellow.

[Ranger]

If that logo is anything to predict the livery by, I reckon it's going to be a another pretty damn good livery from the Enstone team.

NEW Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team logo now appearing on their team website.

New style font and interesting that the traditional McLaren 'strike' graphic is missing.....could this be in deference to a widely rumoured Mercedes buyout sooner rather than later??

Can anyone of the guys good with Photoshop and the like help me out here please?

The new VODAFONE MCLAREN MERCEDES team logo is visible at http://www.mclaren.com (on the homepage) but it is shown against an image of a blacked out car.

Is anyone able to rework the logo graphic so that the 'vodafone' is still in red, the 'mclaren mercedes' still in silver, yet with the logo against a plain white backdrop please?

Many thanks for your help in advance is you are indeed able to

here some interesting renault livery's.

Thanks ChrisS :)
I like the older McLaren logo and yeah...the absence of the McLaren strike is surprising..maybe they thought the Logo was too long to have a strike :p :
Interesting liveries for Renault..the third one's best I think..are they all photo shopped?I don't know that language :s

[Mjfan12]

DAMN! I have a savings account with ING and I like them, but I hate Renault!

I can't support the sponsors of the Rivals of Ferrari! I may just stop it, HSBC has higher interest rates anyways.

some of those are actually pretty good and i wasn't expecting with the newcolour scheme they had that it could be that good, so if they had a livery similar to any of those it would look great

[Iceman-uk]

This is nice.

i can't read that language either.

[Jona]

This is nice.

Are renault going to be sponsored by O2 this year? Thought they were a BMW sponsor?

[Giuseppe F1]

Jona, Telefonica own O2 so there was rumours a while ago that the O2 branding may be switched to the Renault - I hope not, 02 and BMW are good partners

[SuperAguri]

I thought Telefonica only sponsored because of Alonso?

Found something like this. Front nose and wing look interesting. Also the placing of mirrors. :p :

Where did you find those? Because I like what I see!

What mirrors?! Those are no mirrors anymore those are f***ing aero devices and I hope that the FIA will ban them!

My my, we can't have a bit of innovation, can we? :rolleyes:

They are not moving aero parts so they are not illegal. If these should be illegal, then so should Ferrari's wheel covers - which are essentially devices which do the thing its supposed to do and secondarily, contribute to the aerodynamics of the car - just like the mirrors you see on this one. Why the fuss?

I'd say thats a pretty damn good car. :)

Who the hell said they are moving parts?

What about the positioning of those mirror supports?
How easy it will be to have them broken in a little toss at the start! Will it be a car without mirrors considered safe enough when racing at 250+ kmh?

Give it a thought before slamming me.

[jens]

There is another aspect of the mirrors that makes me a bit curious. Driver has to turn his head too much to actually see something from there, so he might lose concentration about other stuff that is going on at the same time. Or not? :p :

If I remember correctly, the FIA had nothing to say about it being dangerous when the mirror came off the McLaren a couple times this season.

Well, they should have said something.

[Ranger]

Sorry. But I still don't get why the FIA should remove them, considering nothing was done about several other cases of missing mirrors last year.

Ioan, please cool down a bit, you're taking everything too seriously, get mad too quickly, and the season hasn't started yet... :s

[ioan]

Fair enough, just that the new Renault mirrors are designed like if they would be seeking this kind of troubles.
Last years "elephant ears" achieved about the same aero effects but at least were not in a danger to lose the mirrors together with them.

[RJL25]

personally i dont understand why all the teams dont design their mirrors to do dual functions. For example aswell as being mirrors they could be shaped to redirect more air over the rear wing. Sif this is dangerous.. its simply maximising the performance potential of every little bit of the car and this is a good thing, not a bad

[ioan]

And I was thinking that we needed to minimize all this aero gadgets! :rolleyes:

[Donney]

The car looks very nice with the new livery and the aero seems very refined.

And I was thinking that we needed to minimize all this aero gadgets! :rolleyes:

Ioan, you can 'think' that we needed to minimze all these aero-gadgets, but until the rule-book categorically states that the bodywork is to be free from aero-gadgets my former colleagues in the wind-tunnels will continue to come up with them.

Previously I argued that the Ferrari wheel-rims were perfectly legal as they only produce an aero advantage as a secondary effect to the principal reason for their use.

I see no reason to argue any different with relation to the new Renault mirror configuration. Their primary job is to provide rear-view....that Renault have designed them to aid in a secondary function is not, in my view, a problem.

In the end it's only FIA's fault, that they permit these Christmas trees to run races.

Will you be going on a similar campaing against the similar Ferrari aero devices too? ;)

[ioan]

Done!

[VresiBerba]

Last years "elephant ears" achieved about the same aero effects but at least were not in a danger to lose the mirrors together with them.
So how many times did these "elephant ears" fall off last year?

[ioan]

So how many times did these "elephant ears" fall off last year?

The elephant years were not attached exactly like these mirror supports.
Also if we don't see often rear wings flying off every time 2 cars touch it doesn't mean that didn't happen at all.

[VresiBerba]

Also if we don't see often rear wings flying off every time 2 cars touch it doesn't mean that didn't happen at all.
So what? Mirrors sometimes fall off too, but if the "elephant ears" doesn't fall off more frequent than rear wings or mirrors, I can't see why these would. Also, if you take a look at the BAR from last year, the "elephant ears" was pretty much attached exactly like these. And I didn't see any of those fall off even once.

Besides, your complaint was originally that the mirrors was aero devices and should be banned for that reason, not because they could fall off.

[ioan]

Besides, your complaint was originally that the mirrors was aero devices and should be banned for that reason, not because they could fall off.

I said their purpose is that of aero devices not that of mirrors, and I also said that they should be banned (but I didn't mention why in that post!).

In the next post I said why they should and could be banned.

PS: I have the same feeling towards Ferrari's similar aero devices.

[Big Ben]

What mirrors?! Those are no mirrors anymore those are f***ing aero devices and I hope that the FIA will ban them!

They are pretty much like the ones Ferarri has? I hope they ll ban them too. For both them.
