Here's the link to the official F1 site's car launch page. Haas launched last week and Williams then Toro Rosso today. I really like the new Haas livery. It's not really flashy, but it looks good. The Williams livery is brand new from past years, not sure I like it, but it's nice to see a change. I still love the Blue on the Toro Rosso and it looks much better than the actual Red Bull teams livery. At least last years. Haas:  Toro Rosso:  Williams:  Renault:  Red Bull: I'm sure this is the special launch livery that they do  Racing Point: formerly Force India  Mercedes:  McLaren:  Ferrari: It's RED, those guys are crazy   Alfa Romeo:  |

I haven't paid attention to F1 in a few years, due to the boring races. Any chance this season will be worth watching?

There are a few interesting storylines to watch this year. They changed the rules around the front wing and tried to simplify them. There have been a few indications that this has really changed the aero balance on the cars, so it could cause some shuffling among the teams. Red Bull has made the switch to Honda and I am looking forward to seeing if they can make it work and stay at the front of the grid. It could be a good season if Ferrari or Red Bull can compete with Mercedes, but I would expect another good season from them and Hamilton. I usually tune into the races to see who the Haas drivers runs in to.

This is the main racing series I follow. I'm really curious how Riciardo will do with the Renault. I'm also curious to see if Red Bull can get it right with Honda since the McLaren / Honda partnership was a disaster. The races last year were still pretty boring. I always watch them recorded so I can fast forward if it gets bad, or I just let it run while I take a nap on Sunday afternoon.
I couldn't find a profile pick of the Williams car. I guess they didn't pay for a photo shoot.

So far:
Haas - Needs a bit of color, unless they're trying to disappear off the grid
Toro Rosso - Looks nice
Williams - Looks nice
Renault - Sharp!!!
Red Bull - Uuuuuuuuuuuuugly
Racing Point - Hideous. Like, really bad.
Mercedes - German. Boring.

Red Bull - Uuuuuuuuuuuuugly Racing Point - Hideous. Like, really bad. Mercedes - German. Boring. Agree on most of these for sure. Haas has always needed more color. I thought they were going in the right direction a couple of years ago with the gray and red. I was hoping they would continue to improve, but nothing happened. Toro Rosso is super sexy. Renault is really nice too. Red Bull is crazy ugly. I don't think I've ever really liked any of their liveries. Racing Point is terrible, the worst of the bunch. Mercedes is nice, but I guess that's another way of saying it's boring. Check out the McLaren though! Also, Kimi debuted the Alfa in a special Valentine's Day livery: meh  |

Kimi winning would be the only way you could get me to tune in reliably, but that's really not going to happen, is it?

It looks like Red Bull announced an actual livery while I was out of town. And then Alfa dropped their livery as well. That Alfa livery is really nice! The Ferrari is a little different. It's a matte red paint, curious to see what it looks like on screen and possibly in person.

That Alpha indeed does look nice. Which team did they take over?
