VOTE - Which team nailed the best livery for the Austin weekend?

Starting with the reigning world champions — fresh off securing their second consecutive Constructors’ title at the last round in Singapore — McLaren has brought back chrome accents on its signature papaya livery. The look comes as part of a collaboration with Gemini, Google’s artificial intelligence platform and one of the team’s main sponsors.

More “local,” however, is Haas, which races on home soil this weekend and has given its livery a Texan twist with a stars-and-stripes theme. Alpine, meanwhile, has added a splash of yellow to the A525 through its partnership with Mercado Libre — the sponsor of Franco Colapinto.

Racing Bulls, on the other hand, have gone for a bold new look thanks to a collaboration with Cash App and American country singer Shaboozey, also taking inspiration from the newly launched Cash App Tortoise Card.

Aston Martin, meanwhile, has gone for a science-inspired livery, bringing to life the science behind Formula 1 through a series of technical formulas integrated into the design — most notably visible on the front wing.

Finally, there’s Williams, embracing a touch of nostalgia with a white-and-blue livery inspired by the team’s early-2000s partnership with HP.

The fight for the 2025 Formula 1 World Championship heads to Austin, where McLaren’s duo and Max Verstappen are set to renew their rivalry at the Circuit of the Americas, the 19th round of the season.

COTA brings back the Sprint format, adding another layer of unpredictability to the weekend and forcing teams to adapt their plans from the outset. Qualifying kicks off on Friday, with the Sprint on Saturday offering valuable points that could prove decisive in the title race.

Because the event runs on U.S. time, fans across Europe and the UK can settle in for an evening of high-stakes racing under the Texas sunset.
