The 2022 Formula 1 season is just around the corner, with Bahrain opening up the season in mid-March.
And as of Sunday, we now know what all the liveries will look like this season. We’ve seen some of the paint jobs thus far in preseason testing, and a few look really, really good. others? Not quite as good.
So as we’ve done before, we’re going to rank all 10 teams’ liveries by how cool they look, from worst to first, although I’ll say this was super-hard given how all of them are pretty sleek. Even the worst is still awesome.
Away we go:

The blue and white is a little too minimalist for my taste.

It’s hard to grade this one given the fact that Haas dropped sponsor Uralkali in the face of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and changed its initial livery to reflect that. So I’ll leave them here.

One more thing…
Why have one livery, when you can have

They’ve got two liveries, and I’m loving the blue-and-pink version.

I’ve gone back and forth. The color scheme is fluorescent and funky, which stands out, but is the best? No. So they’ll slot near the middle.

Some will like the silver look. Me? I’m a huge fan of their black paint job from last year. Why go away from that?

It ain’t broke, so they didn’t fix it. Gorgeous.

If it ain’t broke… Part II.
