What the hell?

"Back-to-back World War champs"? The late substitutes who could have won it if they'd bothered to join in earlier. Plus nobody "wins" a war, you just don't lose a war.

"Undefeated since 1776"? War of 1812 and the Vietnam war certainly weren't "victories". Plus the War of Independence didn't technically finish until 1783...

Plus, during a time of national turmoil, is that really the best idea to shove your support behind the nation that's crumbling infront of you due to institutional and presidential racism? Patriotism is fine, but blind patriotism at the wrong time is a serious mistake surely.

Bad livery, bad timing.

Bad history.

No; it's perfect microcosm of American culture...beats everyone else, rests on past glories, then proceeds to beat fellow Americans in a contest that only features Americans and call itself a World Champ again to feel sanctimonious and patriotic. Then it dumps patriotism in the trash for corporate sponsorship the next week.

And suddenly, the #bluelivesmatter car is not the most inappropriate, ill-timed paint scheme to appear lately.

Might be the most edge lord thing I've seen in recent memory and there is some seriously stiff competition for that "Honor"
 
Back in 2018, Santino Ferrucci wanted to run a "Make America Great Again" livery in Formula 2 at Silverstone. Thankfully, the FIA told him where to stick it as soon as it was proposed. The fact he got banned that weekend for two other completely unrelated - but also boneheaded - moments is surely karma or something.

This looks like if a cheesy 4th of July shirt was on a car. Just WTF.

Not a big fan of free speech or other peoples' opinions I see? Classy and mature. Well done.
 
Well yes, in a sport where governmental Politics is supposed to be hidden on car sponsorship, being broadcast to an audience with a very low American voter percentage, and doing it in Europe, which has a very low opinion of Trump anyway - is not the brightest idea at all.

It's put best in this video at 4:20


Put it this way, slapping your political leanings on the side of a car - or to be honest: having it in the open at all - is not the European way of doing things. When you're in a European-based championship, driving for a European team to a mostly-European audience at a European Circuit trying to promote an American politician 2 years before any election, you deserve to be laughed out of the proposal meeting.

Free Speech should be a privilege and a right, but not an excuse or a free pass.
 
The FIA isn't a government agency and thus can impose whatever rules it wants to.

Those who disagree with and wish to work against it can set up their own series. With blackjack. And hookers.
 
My least favorite is the Aston Martin AMR1 (Group C). It doesn't look like an Aston Martin! Never mind that the grille doesn't have that distinguishable Aston Martin shape to it, the livery is just not what comes to mind when you think of an Aston Martin. You think of British Racing Green, or perhaps silver - not red, white, and blue.

As NASCAR liveries go, why is that one so terrible?

Because it's the user enjoys trashing Jeff Gordon, for some reason. Like it's still 1998 or something.

Admittedly the original "rainbow" design is more iconic, but the flames aren't terrible.
