What does a special liver for F1 teams?

Whether a node for history and heritage, a sample of weather season or just one social media April Full Day Post, the theme of liveris in front of the Japanese Grand Prix has become very low.

Yuki SunodaPromotion of parent red bull team in place of Liam Lawson The headlines have dominated, but due to the fact that the local favorite will start in a special white car.

A tribute to Honda in his final year, working with Red Bull, a paint job reflects the 60th anniversary of the Japanese carmaker’s first Grand Prix win and with a goldsmith riding RB21This will only add the clamor to homemade success in Suzuka only in Sujuka.

A white colored liver decorates the red bull, inspired by the Honda RA 272, which was taken by Richie Ginther in the 1965 Mexican Grand Prix in Honda’s Women Formula 1 victory. But what is the reasoning behind changing a liver in both cars for a race weekend before returning to type?

“I think there are many reasons why teams will do this.”

“What we are doing in Japan at the end of this week, in this case, it is actually a part of Honda to our goodbye. We did it in 2021 years ago, which ended during Turkish Grand Prix, as the Japanese Grand Prix was canceled due to Kovid and when they were (initially), it was our original farewell.

“There was some discussion about it in Abu Dhabi, but in reality he liked it Japanese Grand Prix. So it was the argument behind this one.

“But I would say normally, I think we are probably only one of the teams who did it continuously, or at least during our entire time in F1.

“Mainly last year we did it as a way to connect with fans. So we allowed fans to design the liveris. But we have also made commercial support, as we did Star Wars Worship, we have returned a Superman Lever in the day.

“For us it is about the eyeball on the car. But I think other teams are probably selling it commercially, because I believe that every team is limited to the number of one year subject to the FIA ​​and FOM.

“So they have got it as a commercial right. So they are probably selling it to commercial partners to say: ‘Our car has your logo, but in a race in a year, you may probably do something more than a logo on a car and you can pay a little extra for it’.

“I am sure there are some teams who have sold deals for the next three or four years, which have special livaries in special helmets or some. They will be cooked at age. Surely.”

While the Red Bull’s Liver Team-Specified in Japan, Has decided to portray the Cherry Blossom season, which started last week and until the F1 rolled to Bahrain and does not turn again and start again, will run without any commercial advantage.

SaveMeanwhile, April Fool’s Day was used to post a share -inspired joke on social media – some obtained it and some did not do it, but somehow you bitten it, the images are still talking to people.

In 2024, Alpine Unveiled their new challenger with two separate liveris – a primary is used for 16 races with a traditional blue and black colors, and the title sponsor BWT caused a change in pink color for other eight Grands Prix due to BWT.

With more partners in F1 than ever, are they all happy to see a car, helmet and race suit, regardless of logic? Red bull had 42 such companions in early 2024 and, as Hughes states, it can take a bit of plate-spinning to keep them happy.

He said, “This is always a debate that we have with Red Bull, because our liver is very stable for 20 years,” he said.

“In fact, it is very distinguished, the sun and bull. So for us there is a great departure from what we do really to change the engine cover and remove the yellow sun.

“It is definitely a discussion that we should have all our other commercial partners. So, for example, if you are a tag heaur, you like your green and red logo, and we are saying this race, not, not, sorry, you are going to have mono-black, then it’s almost a negative for them instead of a positive.

“But thankfully, we have found some good companions, and we took them on a trip, and they bought the story and everything else.

“It is not always easy. When a brand partner with us, they generally know what they are getting, they are getting a blue liver, they are getting a white logo or a color logo and then when you suddenly bring a full change of base color, it can actually be a great implication for some partners.”

Possible not only to take a squad before choosing a squad for a temporary new look with potential partners – engineers also have to win.

Hughes said, “I will tell you that every time we want to do so, what it is, it is a fight between marketing and engineering.”

“Because if you ask an engineer about a lie, a false is an inconvenience, a liver is just weight. It just slows the car. If it is above the engineers in the padock, every car will be bare carbon.

“Why you will see where there are many cars, there is a lot of carbon. So I would say that I suggest Pierre Wache (Red Bull Technical Director) to tell a new lie.

“Then his eyes will roll even more when you tell him that you are doing it in the first race of Triple-Hader, I can tell you!

“So it does not achieve any brownie points with the technical team, this is definitely. But I would say that the main limit is really just the pressure that it actually puts the car to live on the team really to live and ensure that the parts have been liver.

“Then now we have to ensure this at the end of the race, we have to return to another, main place before going to Bahrain, which creates our challenges.”
