I honestly loving hate the hipster millennial horseshit like that, nearly every time poo poo like that is all looks with no function. I've actually had to buy poo poo at military surplus because I was actually dirt loving poor and needed an actual winter jacket in :canada: and my car's thermostat was jammed open, the jacket is the warmest coat I've ever had but it also makes me look like a homeless person, as opposed to a faux camo jacket that is completely useless and rips apart after a year of use.

Legitimately as a person who grew up with his grandparents screaming about how great Austria is and ended up being a card carrying member of the old boys Austrian Immigrants society they helped found, I've got every reason to like Red Bull and yet they still somehow manage to be hateable douchebags to me.

Shut up, Nick! You're not Twilight.
I dont think thats an actual camo pattern. Its just the Red Bull logo superimposed over the blue of the coveralls in a light white. The way it wraps around the arms and legs just makes it look similar to a camo pattern.

Whoever came up with that design is really, really freaking bad.

Go here, make a new tab, and enter your predictions. One tab per poster.

I'm going to try to make a tracking front page around the first race.
The "Name" tab is a layout if you can use it across the board to make some formulas easy, thanks.

My prediction is that McLaren are going to be a little bit less embarrassingly bad.

As a 100% true red-white-red Austrian: gently caress Red Bull.

I hate that Ferrari have Hublot as a sponsor, so I'm glad McLaren signed the only company who makes even more disgusting watches than Hublot.
