It’s been a whirlwind month of February in Formula One. There was the announcement that Madrid would be joining the calendar in 2026, then the series rejected Andretti’s bid to join the grid in 2025 or 2026, Oh, and then it was announced that Lewis Hamilton would leave Mercedes to join Ferrari after the 2024 season.
Amid all that, it’s easy to forget that the month of February is usually reserved for teams to unveil their cars for the new season. While F1 has been abuzz with breaking news bombshells, all 10 teams have still found the time to launch their new liveries for 2024.
Now that the event spaces that hosted all those launch parties have been swept up, ESPN’s Laurence Edmondson, Nate Saunders and Austin Lindberg pore over the photos from those nights to determine whose new look is most eye-catching. This is the 2024 Formula One livery Power Rankings:

It’s just so disappointing that we see so little of that because someone with a calculator in Enstone determined that every brushstroke would cost the team eight millionths of a second over the course of a race. — Lindberg
9. Williams
Smart, business like, a bit boring. There’s lots of complaints about how much carbon fibre we see on the grid, but no one complains about the amount of blue. Anyway, the Duracell airbox still makes me smile. — Edmondson
Not great, not terrible. A bit underwhelming for a team like Williams. I agree on the Duracell airbox, but otherwise this livery leaves me wanting more. — Saunders
