I see AM is going the way of Alpine: afterthought slapping on colours.

Eh…Not too hot on this. I grew up watching Mark Martin drive the Valvoline NASCAR stock car and am happy to see them partner with an F1 team, but by the same token I think that AM’s normal livery is terrific. The various Valvoline decals are inoffensive enough but the ‘mohawk’ is kinda meh.

This colour scheme was never going to work with the AM green anyway, so while this is definitely a downgrade on the standard livery, it’s also the least offensive implementation of a sponsorship that they were probably obligated to do.

Vaybe it’s Valvoline

It’s not completely ruined but it really is so much worse. A real shame too since AM had such a sleek and pleasant livery in a season where most of the field look quite terrible to me.

I hope they’re being paid well because this looks particularly horrendous

33!
