I've never appreciated this livery properly before. I love the continuous flow from the nose, along the headrest and engine cover, and down to the wing.

Trawling through the F56's close up on the grid today, there were a few decent liveries:

This one looked particularly clean:

Red Bull liveries are a grey area for me. The 4th livery above is a good example of how designers can become lazy with it, given the placement on the car is a well beaten track nowadays. The DTM looks the best, but it is marginal and based purely on way they have shifted position slightly and even cut the logo off in places. The right hand side is different too.

I really loved the RB9 when it came out just because of the way the team introduced purple in the sidepods. It was a much better livery when it blended like this, as now the purple is defined from the blue by lines.

I can't really agree about the Red Bull Citroens. I've always felt like they cramped the front by having too many Red Bull logos and the rather badly fitting red space for the Total logo.
 
And now I've just realised that the bull appears to have a mutant fifth leg in the door mirror.
 
This is an example of a poor Red Bull livery:

Sorry the pic is only a die-cast, couldn't find a decent photo of the real thing.
 
Equipe Verschuur's livery has transferred very nicely to the RS:01. I'd like it if they stopped changing the shade of blue every season, but this is their second best ever colour - the pearlescent hint is lovely.

This was their best ever, in my opinion:

Very dark blue and black wheels is a gorgeous combination.

Oregon will never get old, either:

Only the 911 GT1 is any good out of those.

Makes sense, seeing as every one bit the 911 GT1 is just a corporate colour or two and some logos and corporate motifs.
 
sooo many good liveries!!! I didn't see the KURE Zexel Skyline GT-R #556 :(
