2026 Mercedes AMG Petronas Livery

I quite like it.  Mercedes' all black car in 2020 was my favourite, and the recent trend to combine black and silver (with the Petronas teal) never quite worked for me.  I think there's a better blend of the two colours with the zebra stripes.  I love going back to the Mercedes star from the AMG logo. 

Microsoft looks out of place on there though.  Honestly, I don't feel that the Microsoft logo is iconic enough to warrant ruining the colour scheme.  If it was the colour of the rest of the logos, it would be great, and still recognizable.  (How long has it been since we thought of the Apple logo with colour?)

Best livery so far

No doubt a tasty looking colour scheme & overall look.  :good:

I'm more intrested in the new for 26 front wing edges, they look super troublesome to me. Last term they had great big horizontal sides to the wing edges and both the drivers in close racing often failed to see them, be a lot harder this season with the horizontal a good 6 inches from wing tip.  :swoon:

These new wing tips themselves also seem designed to cause real probs when touching a tyre, at least last year first conact was with a flatish upright face as oppossed to a wide, sharper horizontal (albeit curved) section.  :confused:
