It's the silly name of the game this year, a bunch of black cars with a smidge of colour on them racing on track, pretending they're different. We were happy that Alfa Romeo switched, looking nice but then it all became a bit too much.

Thats funny , the carbon was always there, its just we can see it now cause teams have not painted over the carbon.

Atleast other teams have not completely abandoned their traditional colours. One team was so desperate that they haven't even painted their car under the name of weight reduction and called it a day?.

Slowly now. It's been their livery for a couple of seasons prior... But I get the ?point? . They should all paint everything. No carbon should be seen. If Mercedes want it black, then paint it black. See you at the races !

@Divergent², it can't be Mercedes you talking about, cause the reason they are called sliver arrows is they stripped the White paint yo the bare body of aluminum, this was prompted by weight saving. Mercedes have stayed true to there roots and to save weight they have stripped away the sliver paint to reveal the bare carbon of the car, which is black . So I know you understand the history of Mercedes, so I wonder which team you're talking about?
