So i was wainting since the other day to post this as i didn't want to spoil anyone. But against who Alpine is going to war ? Because why do they put a missile launcher on their car ?

It’s so Pierre can fire baguettes at Este Mario Kart style

It’s the anti Alonso feature

I say this every year, but that pepto bismol / blancmange pink colour is just so distressing to my eyes.

It doesn't look nice on the car, or with the black racesuits. I don't think even Sir Lewis could make those look good.

I’m done I’m so sorry France but the Italians know how to do a launch and you’ve failed to top them

It’s tragic isn’t it! I absolutely despise their colour scheme They’ll never look slick with that awful pink!

Ok so what do you rate all the liveries out of 5? I’m gonna say my favourite is Merc (if I ignore the hideous number colours) and least favourite is Redbull

I actually really like the new Alfa livery! I think it looks so smart!

 

[OOps2022]

I will read your reactions before watching it

Merc is also my favorite but i really don't like the green on George car. My least favorite is probably the Alpha Tauri, i really don't like it when you see it from the front But i might change my mind when i will see the cars in day light

ok, I caught up with the thread, now I am a little afraid to watch the launch itself, but at the same time I am so curious

also, it seems like perfect time for the Bonjour witch Pierre pic

I’m the same, last year I actually quite liked the Merc when they launched it, then as soon as I saw it on the track I was like oh no, thats ugly

I stopped watching the live but they even chose Zidane as an ambassador?!? They really are playing that "french pride" card all the way (he is one of the biggest sport legends here)

he has more wins in football than Esteban and Pierre together in F1 (or maybe even in other categories)
I am watching now on replay, with accellerated speed, just got to the car part. My only thought so far is that blue and pink can go together as colours, but in slightly different shades. I am sure they could look better on the car if they played with these shades a bit... (so far I like the pink car more, but I am sure Fernando heard of it and that's why he left)
I am waiting for Pierre and Esteban now

added: Ottmar: the plan is: less DNFs.
I really like people with realistic approach. NO DNFs for the BAGUETTES in 2023!

That was the point where they lost me tonight turned of the stream when they started presenning more athletes, not that I really did watch anymore after the car was shown

Pierre is getting a taste of what it was like for Yuki the past two seasons now he has to stand next to Estie Bestie on camera/in photos and be the short one Every photo I've seen pop up of them today my brain has just gone 'lol, look at tiny baguette!'

 

[OOps2022]

no baby pictures of Pierre and Esteban so far, I am EXTREMELY dissapointed
also: them speaking English to eachother doesn't seem right, even with my limited Duolingo skills I desperately need to hear them talking French to eachother. I don;t have to understand it

I am really wishing them well and I would love them to be great teammates, it woud be such a perfect story
but for the last time, before the season begins, I need to bring this picture
