Cadillac Reveals First Ever Formula 1 Livery: Asymmetrical and Silver
We are less than a month away from Cadillac's official Formula 1 debut, and after the Super Bowl last night, we now know what the car is going to look like.
Unsurprisingly, the car utilizes Cadillac's usual racing colors, primarily silver and black. It's a scheme we've seen on virtually ever modern Cadillac race car since the brand first attacked Le Mans some 20+ years ago. What's unusual about the brand's Formula 1 livery is the asymmetrical design.
On one side It's a near even mix of silver and black while the other side is primarily black. What's impressive is the way the front and rear have been blended to not look asymmetrical.
Our Take:
The new car looks great to us, if not a bit conservative. It should be easy to recognize, even against other black-themed cars like the Mercedes. Regardless, it will be nice to see another vehicle on the grid in a month's time, battling for Formula 1 glory.

I'm happy that Cadillac is able to race this year, but on the other hand, they are not running their own engine so I might as well just cheer for Ferrari.
