What was the best special team livery of the 2023 F1 season? · RaceFans

Esteban Ocon, Alpine, Bahrain International Circuit, 2023

One of the defining characteristics of the Liberty Media era of Formula 1 is how the ten teams currently on the grid have embraced running special, alternative liveries at certain grands prix.

Whether it’s to celebrate their home races, marquee events like the Monaco Grand Prix or the inaugural race around the Las Vegas Strip Circuit, or to mark a major milestone in their team’s history, it seems that teams are running in special paint schemes more frequently than ever before.

The 2023 season, naturally, was no different. By RaceFans’ count, there were no fewer than 20 unique instances of teams running in special designs through this year’s championship – spanning the opening round of the season in Bahrain to the final race weekend in Abu Dhabi.

Some appeared for just a single round. Others, for as many as three grands prix. But which alternative design was your favourite from the 2023 season? Take a look at all of them from each round of the year in which they first appeared and then cast up to three votes in this weekend’s poll.
