The Formula 1 circus gathered on Friday afternoon in Singapore to prepare for practice and it was interesting to see the Renault team without any ING branding, apart from the team clothing, which it has not been possible to change. The cars will run with large Renault stickers in place of the lost sponsorship.
Now that is excruciating!
It is perhaps time to change the garish colours and perhaps the design. The car is still looking like an orange Donald Duck. Mandarin duck would be closer.
Btw, Joe, in the wee hours, your best bet are 7 Eleven. At lease they carry the Japanese beverage Asahi.
Cheers.
Gotta agree, I hated those colours
The blue and yellow was perfect
You can still see ING on the wall-art… but I’m more curious to know if Grosjean will be able to drive or not.
I hope they will choose to race this livery – they don’t have a title sponsor anymore to dictate them livery colors and it will look great on track.

Hope they don’t choose white as their base colour. It will be hard to tell them apart from the Brawns next year – although Brawn might go silver of course because of the Merc tie-up.
I wonder if this had anything to do with the picture which was circulating that altered the logo to say
Cheat
ING
Wow i didnt know they lost their main sponsor too! that is massive.
Or strip out the white colors and run in bare black carbon fiber and the yellow..
Maybe becuase of lack of wheels they have lost their tyre sponsership !!!!
I guess they will always be black..
Maybe they should have red colours next year to match their faces
I don’t suppose Grosjean’s ailment has anything to do with pressure from Brazil to put Di Grassi in the car
Joe has turn 17 been affectionately and unofficially renamed Piquet Bend?
To Nick Caulfield,
It’s better that than Eff ING.
And by the way John, they all ready have red colors for TOTAL.
It is now known as the “Piquet/Grosjean Slide”…
I think it would be cool to have the 30th Anniversary colors…
but I would prefer the Team Spirit livery…
Please please drop that awful orange, the darker of Renaults blue pallette and some classy yellow accents, all sleek and cool.
