We’ve tasked The Race’s Creative Lead Oliver Card with casting his design eye over the 2024 liveries produced by the 10 F1 teams. Here’s his verdict on who’s created a future classic and who’s missed the mark
The Race’s Creative Lead Oliver Card has been assigned to review the 2024 liveries of the 10 F1 teams, instructing designers to only use 50% of the car for painting due to weight-saving efforts. The ongoing challenge for livery designers intensifies as critics express their opinions with each new car reveal. The complexity of livery design is highlighted by the intricate approval processes involving global sponsors like Visa, alongside other brand guidelines from companies like Honda, Hugo, and Orlen. Despite the prevalence of carbon fibre in this year’s liveries, fan reactions have been largely negative on social media. McLaren’s MCL38 design, featuring a black base with orange accents, showcases a departure from iconic papaya orange. The Ferrari SF-24 stands out as a strong 2024 livery, maintaining a modern yet classic look with a prominent red color scheme and innovative design elements.
