I also noticed, a missing sponsor maybe? They should put something there, definetely.

Is that the Williams race livery this year?

Always wished they'd turned their winter test livery into the race one... have they finally done it?

It looks the best as you can't see what the hell shape it is. There's nothing to distinguish it from anything else. :D

Looks like it's got a nose the size of Bruninho's mind.

Is the Williams already in its real livery? I know that in the past they used to present the car in a test livery and announced their real livery at a later date.

I don't think, but it will not be very different, a little bit more white here and there. It is the nicest, not because of the livery but the lower nose make it nicer.

The Renault looks a mess, but it does look like they have take a very different view on things from other teams near enough covering the entire rear of the car.

The new Williams is also out and that looks neat and tidy.

It says on Autosport that its just the winter paint job on the williams

Today is the first day they put the car on track and after the R27 and R28 (didn't have a bad end of season, but it took 10-12 races to be relatively fast), let's see what will happen with the R29 (and it is ugly to start with!)

They may have got it right 1st time this time its quite different to the other cars.

So far it does look like the worst looking car but as I said that does not really mean anything.

I hope it goes well as we need them up front fighting for wins, the more teams at the front the better.

Holy ugliness batman!

LMAO

I think Renault got the wrong idea.... they're supposed to build a car to beat BMW on the track... not in the ugly stakes.

haha at renault OMG!, damn that looks bad.....

I have to agree that the williams is the best so far

the renault livery is hideous!

the williams livery is only an interim version

It seems as if Renault bought the dude that designed BMW´s ugly front, so there is hope that the BMW may look better. Well actually there is not much that could look worse than the Renault. I hope this car is the @#$%&, cause otherwise anyone will copy this ridiculous front.

One thing is astonishing though. With the BMW giving a glimpse of what to expect, four out of five cars to date look astonishingly good, with the williams being the prettiest so far. And only Renault have created a monster on wheels.
I hope the trend will continue that way ...
