Mercedes’ 2019 livery was a fabulous style for the Formula 1 circuit, and Mercedes-AMG Petronas did it again in the following year. This time, the team enlarged the Mercedes-Benz logos and extended them forward. This makes the icons far more visible, and allows the pattern to really shine while covering even more real estate on the car.
As well, instead of the silver front segment that featured prominently on the previous year’s racer, the W11 is an all-black affair that even utilizes a darker wave stripe while retaining the overall shape of the teal highlight. The car looks fantastically sleek and aggressively fast, but this isn’t the only reason for making the shift away from a more traditional silver-dominated livery.
“Mercedes made a bold statement in ditching their traditional Silver Arrows look in favour of a black livery, in support of fighting racism and all forms of discrimination,” Tom Rawcliffe writes for PlanetF1. The result is an attractive livery design, to be sure, and one that makes an immensely important statement.
