2016 Mercedes F1 concept

Sorry everyone, a little late with this, this year, but my travels have distracted… So – my first 2016 “concept”, the Mercedes. You’ll note that Petronas still don’t get their preferred colours in my design, but I’ve just spent 3 weeks in Malaysia and I have developed the opinion that Petronas has much bigger worriesContinue reading “2016 Mercedes F1 concept”

2015 Williams FW37 Concept

…And the Williams FW37 concept. Had thought I’d have it done by yesterday, but for some reason it was a little tougher than I’d expected… This will be the last F1 concept I do this year, as I’ve simply run out of time. I was hoping to at least get a Sauber and a ToroContinue reading “2015 Williams FW37 Concept”

2015 Lotus E23 Concept

I’ve always thought that if Lotus are going to use a “JPS” inspired livery that they should do it “properly”. By “properly” I mean that they should do what they did back between  1972 and 1985, and that is to have all sponsors comply with the primary livery colours. I think (and this is, of course, onlyContinue reading “2015 Lotus E23 Concept”

2015 Infiniti Red Bull Racing RB11 concept.

I may (perhaps rightly) be accused of doing too little with this one – I just think it is exceedingly unlikely that Red Bull will change anything major… there M.O. has been one of “evolution” rather than “revolution”  – so I’ve stuck with a pretty standard format here. What I have tried to do isContinue reading “2015 Infiniti Red Bull Racing RB11 concept.”

2015 Ferrari F15 Concept

It will be strange to see a Ferrari F1 car without the Shell logo featured prominently on the side pod, but my guess is that with the addition of Haas as a sponsor that’s probably what’s going to happen – what do you think? For old time’s sake, I’ve given Shell real prominence (perhaps tooContinue reading “2015 Ferrari F15 Concept”

2015 McLaren MP4-30 F1 Concept

I don’t really think that McLaren will go with their orange livery – but I wish they would! Telefonica/Movistar? An educated guess – but who knows? I’m generally happy with this although orange is a difficult colour to deal with from a digital perspective (for me, anyway) and this has come off a little moreContinue reading “2015 McLaren MP4-30 F1 Concept”

2015 Mercedes W06 F1 Concept

I’ve tried to keep these a little more literal this year. With the Mercedes W06, I wanted to make it appear a little “meaner”, more nasty, so I’ve gotten rid of all the Petronas turquoise and tried to streamline it a bit. Still likely wouldn’t be “legal”. 🙂 I’ll try to publish the McLaren andContinue reading “2015 Mercedes W06 F1 Concept”

Williams retro-futurist rendering

Yet another photoshop bodge. Last one for a while I think – must get back to using pencil the odd time… This one imagines a mix of the new rules (VERY loosely) allied to inspiration from the 1986 Williams FW11. Once again – cheating tons here – using Goodyears that don’t exist, the “Red Five”Continue reading “Williams retro-futurist rendering”

2014 Mercedes F1 concept/fantasy

…another F1 car rendering. For this one I wanted to evoke something of the 1950’s W156 and the much earlier W154, W125s; very difficult because of the great gulf of time/technology between now and then (and the fact the older cars were front-engined). Anyway, I had a lash at it and this is the resultContinue reading “2014 Mercedes F1 concept/fantasy”
