These are the confirmed liveries for the 2022 Formula 1 season
- GPblog.com
The first winter test is approaching and nine of the ten teams have presented their cars for the new season. Since Alfa Romeo will not present its new car until after the winter test, we list the other cars for you.
Haas - VF22
Haas was the first team to pull the curtain off the new car, although this was figuratively, as on February 4 it was an online release of four images. On those images you could only see the new livery on a 3D computer render of a 2022 car, but not the real VF22. We only saw that one on Monday when the American team did a shakedown at the Barcelona circuit.

Red Bull Racing - RB18
Red Bull Racing pulled a similar trick as Haas and is even more mysterious. Red Bull made no secret of the fact that the presentation of the RB18 was mainly for fans and sponsors and showed nothing of the new car, but nobody seemed to know about a shakedown on the Silverstone circuit. Some footage of that has come out anyway of the new RB18 and it made for an interesting analysis.

Aston Martin - AMR22
Aston Martin was the first team to show a real car during the presentation. The team also immediately took to the track for a shakedown, which also gave us our first look at footage of a 2022 car in action.

McLaren - MCL36
In a drawn-out presentation, the new car of Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo was presented on Friday evening, and here we also saw a real 2022 car. James Key and Andres Seidl were therefore proud of the team for succeeding. McLaren drove the first meters of the 2022 car on the Circuit de Catalunya on Monday, as did Haas.

AlphaTauri - AT03
At AlphaTauri, things went awry during the presentation, as at the moment that viewers were sitting ready with a countdown livestream, the photos of the car were already appearing on Pierre Gasly's Twitter account. At AlphaTauri, it remained a show car that we don't expect to appear on the track in that capacity.

Williams - FW44
Williams presented a real car for the 2022 Formula One season and one with a "fresh color," as Nicholas Latifi would describe it. The colour is still blue, but the livery is definitely different from what we were used to in recent years from the Grove-based team.

Ferrari - F1-75
Ferrari's new car had already appeared on the internet a day before the launch and that did spoil some of the fun leading up to the unveiling. However, it does not make the new car of Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc any less beautiful. A day after the launch, the team also took to the track at Fiorano for a shakedown.

Mercedes - W13
With an extensive daytime program, the Mercedes team paused to present the new car. No longer a full black livery, but a combination of silver and black. The new Mercedes, unlike the competition, already showed a lot of details, and despite storm Eunice, the team went onto Silverstone for a shakedown in the afternoon.

Alpine - A522
On Monday, the BWT Alpine F1 Team was the last to go prior to the winter test in Barcelona. With BWT as a new sponsor, there would be a pink tint in the livery from 2022, but that it would be as much as was presented was not expected after all. For the first two races, an all pink livery will even be used.

Alfa Romeo - C42
Alfa Romeo will present the new C42 only after the first winter test on February 27, but the new car already appeared on the track. In Fiorano, the Italian team drove a shakedown with the new car, although it was dressed in a camouflage livery.
