The BAR is the worst looking F1 car on the grid, no style whatsoever... and as harsh i am, im sure alot will agree with me, minardi, jordan and BAR have the worst paint schemes.

I like that blue as well

I actually like the current bar colours, but those blue colours look great, the white 555 dont, I hope they use the blue

The blue will be for Davidson i bet, when they can run the 3rd car a different colour, although i hope im proved wrong!

Due to the voting system in Germany, Governments are always made up of coalitions of different parties. At the last election, an almost unprecidented result saw the CDU/CSU (rough equivilant of the Conservatives) go into Government with the SPD (rough equivilant of Labour)

They can run any colours they want on the 3rd car, but on the main 2 cars they cannot have any major changes in the season.

Sporting Reg's on Car Livery

Teams must run their two cars with essentially the same race livery throughout the season and must seek prior approval for any major changes. Any third cars used in Friday

i think the white 555 looks pretty awful- bar should learn from minardi's lesson in that sponsor's colours must match the car's colours. when minardi had the sky blue of wilux, with the green of superfund, mixed in with the base black white and red it looked really really really shite. actually it still does even without wilux....

and by the way, i wouldn't mind if they amended that rule to allow one-off alternate paint schemes for a race weekend just to spice things up a bit.

Actually, i think the rule is that both cars must have the same livery at a race, which BAR found to their cost in 1999.
There is nothing to say that teams cannot change their livery completely halfway through a season, even without approval.

Montana,

look at what Broders posted. "Teams must run their two cars with essentially the same race livery throughout the season". That's a quote from the sporting regulations.

A few more photos of the 555 BAR:

that is one grat,i mean great car :p

OOPS! - It would seem that I am mistaken, as I have just read that the team have to have mainly white for the 2 race cars, but yes, Davidson will be using the blue car on the Friday.

[www.f1racing.net]

"BAR's F1 garage has turned blue as the sport prepares to race in China. Team driver Jenson Button is apparently unhappy with the uniform switch from BAT-owned cigarette brand 'Lucky Strike', which is not sold in the country, to blue and yellow '555'.

FIA regulations forbid a wholesale race livery change, so the predominantly white car will stay the same, but blue and yellow '555' logos for the 006 racer have been unveiled at the Shanghai circuit.

The team's garage, meanwhile - including equipment and pit crew apparel - has undergone a radical 555 transformation.

It is understood that Anthony Davidson's 'third' car, excluded from the race livery regulation, sports a full blue paint job."
