STR livery

Toro Rosso's livery mainly consists of a large charging red bull (surprise surprise!) Definitely striking, although I'll wait for some photos from other angles before I pass final judgment

Beautiful... I must say I am surprised that they carrying red bull logos et all, but there's nothing in the rules against it.

It looks pretty good from the one shot. Enough with the blue already! I would've gone with the sun yellow from the bull forward though, to make it stand out more.
Tomorrow we get to see practice and I wonder how many of us will initially be confused trying to sort out all the white and red cars?

I am yet to decide if I like it;
the livery is designed to be seen from the side - not from the front. Which for tv is very foolish. The horns may /probably will look foolish from the front.

Yuk, looks a mess in my opinion, just as we got rid of the stale & cumbersome Sauber livery, we are presented with another mess of colours...

I thought it was different and not too bad at first - however, looking at it from the side, it's an indistinguishable mess. Quite a nice idea, possibly - but very badly executed.

maltafan has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
I really liked this livery. I was told that it would be nice, but I did not think it would be that good.

It also seems that the car is as good as its livery. the V10 concession seems to work very positively for STR.

like it,
But would like to see a fluressent green nosecone as i believe from the front the yellow of Red bull and gold of STR are too similar, but then again, ill probaly know how to distinguish them after ive seen the race.

Its difficult to make out on television, not a very successful livery. but atleast it looks different from RBR.

I love the livery in the press photos but it's a dismal failure on TV.

Like most say, it's nice when you can see it up close but it's a red blob on TV. But then again do Red Bull need TV exposure with the amount of PR they do themselves?

Don't like it........it looks too indistinct on the TV........maybe change the red colour of the bull.

needs to be more contrast in the reds (and more white highlights) for it to stand out on TV (hence why teams like Ferrari, McLaren and Renault all utilise bright colours)

Nice how the horns are placed either side of the rad opening though

I say we're sticking with the past year liveries, because it felt strange with most of the cars, except for those who haven't changed much. In no time at all they will be pretty well settled in our TVs...

I've got used to the new liveries.

So much so that when I saw footage of last years Sauber at the start of the qualifying show I was momentarily confused! (what was that car?!?)

But the Toro Rosso is hard to adjust to. It looks like its been made in five minutes and thought up by a six year old.

Come back Minardi, all is forgiven.
