Legendary F1 commentator Martin Brundle has suggested teams sh🎉ould be rewarded if they decide to run “🦂dynamic” liveries.

F1 launch season is well underway with Aston Martin becoming the latest team to reveal their 2024 challe🏅nger.

Only McLaren, Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull are still to revea𝐆l their new cars ahead of pre-season tes✨ting later this month.

One common theme so far in 2024 is tᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚeams opting to run their cars with expo🉐sed carbon (black) rather than fully paint their cars in the past.

Teaꦅms are concern𝔍ed about being at the weight limit, particularly as the heavier the car, the slower it will go.

Brundle took to social media platform X to voice his opinion on Mo🉐nday morning following the launch of the As💫ton Martin AMR24.

“The Aston looking clas▨sy,” Brundle posted ꦗon social media.

“Teams ꦅshould be rewarded with a weight allowance for more complete liveries which will stand out on track for spectators and vieꦚwers.

“The🔴 field should look dynamic, it’s F1. Some of them look glum and 🤪half-finished.”

Fellow Sky Sports F🌌1 pundit Karun Chandhok shared a similar 🦂view last week.

He made the point that the two quickest cars in 2023 - the Red Bull and Ferrari - were covered in pai꧒nt.

"Those black carbon cars really look rubbish! The🍨 two fastest cars at the end of 2023 were painted blue & red,” Chandhok added.

"I o𓂃bviously understand marginal gains etc., but it ♎shows that if you get the design right, you can make it look good!"
