Oh dear, can see there being plenty of moaning about this. From an interview with Christian Horner on F1.com
Quote:
Q: Whose brainchild was the camouflage livery?
CH: It actually came out of a helmet [design] that Sebastian (Vettel) ran last year in camouflage - it was quite fun and we thought it interesting to extend this concept to the entire car. [Red Bull boss] Dietrich (Mateschitz) liked it when he saw it - it’s pretty much Red Bull: we are not afraid to do things differently. It’s quite striking - and impossible to get details and photographs of the car at this time of the year when everybody tries to be as secretive as possible.
Q: Fans gave it great feedback: they love this livery and want it to stay for the season…
CH: Believe me: our real livery will not disappoint them once we have introduced it! Right now it is all about [rivals] not getting detail shots of the car: this livery confuses your eye line.
Q: When you make all these efforts to hide something, it must be really significant…
CH: Wait and see! My lips are sealed. That’s why the car is in camouflage.
