Well the Honda doesn't quite sound like a bag of spanners in a blender anymore, but it's still not "clean" sounding, and unlike Ferrari and Mercedes where I think it's turbo babble, I still think it's piston noise in the Honda. Still, RBR seem to think they've got a "gem" of an engine... lets see if they end up with as much egg on their faces as McLaren did. I kinda hope not personally. I want to see RBR have a car that can consistently compete, if for no other reason than I want to see how Verstappen would handle such a situation. I'm convinced he's a multiple WDC in the making, but he'll need to learn to drive to percentages if he is to win titles, however, he's not had too so far because he's not really had the machinery to consistently compete.

What to look out for in 2019 Formula 1 team launch week. (Video 11m 53s)
By the start of next week, all 10 Formula 1 teams will have unveiled their 2019 cars and liveries.
The revised aerodynamic rules - intended to increase overtaking - mean extra intrigue over teams' designs, and first-to-launch Haas won't be the only squad revealing an all-new livery this month either.
Eight teams go into the new season with a change in their driver line-up too, while Red Bull's switch to Honda power is the biggest shake-up in the engine market in years.

Well I think thats going to my winner, it looks great. Really like the ROKiT logo, whatever ROKiT is. Can't beat blue and orange contrast.

A shame the Martini colours are gone. Always liked it.
This Rokit livery just looks, soft... Not to my taste for a F1 car.

Those side pods disappear swiftly, quite compact, very large floor area, and space to the top of the diffuser.
This was reposted on twitter, so, we know where the inspiration came from.

Really love the Renault yellow and black colour scheme.
