The livery is set. Some we like and some we hate. Sponsors like color and brand name recognition, it sells the product. As a racing fan, I do not care about sponsor recognition. I care about team and driver identification. I want to be able to spot a team and then, of course, the driver. With "Earth" livery, I will now be able to spot the Honda 2007 (no longer looking like SA). But, will I know JB from RB? Are car numbers, helment paint schemes, and roll over bar paint schemes adequate to differentiate drivers that are from the same team? Or, is something more overt needed? |

Drivers have different helmets and the rollbars are painted different colours. You can also tell from the position of each driver. So Button will be about 4 places ahead of Barrichello, typically. |

The McLaren drivers should be easy enough to tell apart. Alonso has a dark helmet while Hamilton has a bright yellow helmet. Same at Ferrari with Raikkonen and Massa respectively. If only they brought back the good old days where the lead Ferrari driver had the yellow flashes on his front wing, and Sauber had different coloured head restraints for their drivers in the 1998 and 1999 seasons |
