yeah it looks stunning. That frosted metallic red colour, they got that spot on!

I like the Haas car as well with the pink flowers and japanese characters.

I'm still hoping Ferrari will do an all yellow car in Monza or Imola.
Those fanart renders that circulated last year looked stunning.

What I also like about the video: it's softly raining.

Rain in Suzuka = we're in for a treat with more close combats.

That’s from last year just before he did the intro video.

Against all odds I really hope he does well. It will be such a special moment.

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't do it in white, if that would make the car heavier.
Big upgrade coming to the RB21 at Imola but may be fast forwarded to Jeddah so it might as well rain until then

Things are happening at the speed of lightning at RBR so they haven't even had time to re-print the posters.

Yes I know . And you're right
In pink the car would be too heavy.

On the other hand : Red Bull showed us a 'white RB21 without PU hood vents.
This means , they showed us a sort of 'fake design in the white Japan livery.

No RB21 hood vents , as you can see..

On a positive note :
Ferrari is in Japan with a new floor . Think that will keep Charlie's seat dry in the Suzuka rain

I really hope that your boy beats LEW in Japan .
I'm pretty sure , that won't be complicated for Charlie and hope to see him at the Suzuka podium

But the Papaya's cars will be extremely fast again ..
