Hello everybody and welcome back. to the P1 podcast with Matt and Tommy. It's time to get into your favourite podcast of the entire year. Forget qualifying roundups. Forget race roundups. It's where we rate colours from 1 to 10 and we crown our P1 livery of 2026 or my one and your one. I feel like we might disagree throughout most of this if the car launches are anything to go by. We've seen all 11, remember, 11 teams now. So we will go in order of the reveals. Tommy, how are you feeling about this one? Are you ready to... I reckon you've changed your opinion a bit.
I have actually, yeah, quite a lot. And interestingly as well, We're obviously doing this before testing, and we've had a few late comers with the launches, but we've seen a few on track as well, and they maybe don't hit as hard. Some hit better when they're on track. Yeah, so it's going to be an interesting look at what's changed since way back in January when the roadblock got launched.
Way back, all that month ago. Render versus reality is going to be a big conversation. Oh, yeah, definitely. During this podcast. Right, let's begin with Red Bull, shall we? And my grade out of 10 for the Red Bull is a 9 out of 10. Now, this one already we open up the render versus reality conversation because the render that I'm looking at right now in my little sheet is absolutely gorgeous. And it's right up there with that 9 out of 10. However, we see it on track and I'm like, where's that blue, though? Where be the blue that you promised us with all those sparkly lights and the car launch and things like that? It doesn't quite hit as well when you see it out on track. However, you know, this is clearly what they intended.
So that's what I'm going to grade them on. I'm not going to downgrade them necessarily, at least not for Red Bull. I think it's a beautiful looking car. Of course, still has the same identity as they've always had. They've changed the hex code by a singular point for that blue. And everyone's gone wild, including us. And I am happy to say that I still very much enjoy this livery and I've not changed my opinion on it.
I have gone for an 8 out of 10 for the Red Bull. I just got driver ratings right there.
I'm like, so what did Red Bull do wrong in their race, Tommy? Tell me everything.
Yeah, you're completely right with this whole blue. I think you can put a render out there and boost the colours like 8,000% on Photoshop and it pops like crazy and you've got this amazing kind of intricate blue pattern on it. But when you see it on track, it does just look navy again. Obviously, they've also changed going back to the white outline of the bull. This is probably, there'll be a few of these, the first hot take of livery ratings. Hello. I think now the excitement of a new livery is finished. I prefer last year's. And I know that everyone doesn't like last year's because it's got used again and again and again. You prefer last year's Red Bull? Yeah, definitely. If I'd never seen them, ever, and you put both of them side by side, and there was no subjective bias or nothing's new, and I saw them side by side, the dark, matte...
