New look for BAR in China
According to ITV, they will be in the 555 branding
I have to say, I've always prefered this to the Lucky strike livery.

Agreed, absolutely, the LS one is one of the ugliest ever seen, IMO

That would be a much better looking livery, they should've done this alot earlier IMO...

It will be on all the BARs.
It's down to local marketing strategy.

When BAR had planned two different liveries, I thought the Lucky Strike one (with the eagle's wing flash down the side) looked quite good. The underlying connotations of the whole cigarette issue is still morally dubious though... I'll be glad when Jenson leaves BAR - There is something slightly disturbing about seeing a healthy young man (a role model to many youngsters) covered in tobacco logos...
imho

I don't think that normal youngsters would consider Jenson Button to be even remotely a role model to them...
Young British racedrivers maybe, but not the average youngster.

There are smoking threads in parc ferme. Although for those easily led we can have a warning here: You don't have to buy tobacco because it is written on Jenson's overalls.
Yes, I think the cars should look pretty good. I look forward to seeing them on track. There are no zips this time, which is good!
Is blue paint heavier than white paint?

agree - he isn't. slightly off topic but F1 hasn't really captured the imagination of the youth market in the UK. which begs the question where their next audience is going to come from.
back on the subject - I think the livery looks great. BAT actually have some of the most innovate marketers in the world.

This will be on Ant's car:
The livery for Sato and Button will be the same as usual, except '555' instead of 'Lucky Strike'
