Alright, let’s gab about this… uh… f1 mercedes livery 2017, whatever that means. Sounds fancy, like somethin’ them city folks yap about. But I’ll tell ya what I see, same as I see everythin’ else – plain and simple.
So, this here… “livery”… I reckon that’s just the paint job on them racin’ cars. You know, like how I paint my barn red, they paint their cars all sorts of colors. Now, in 2017, that Mercedes car, they kept it mostly silver. Always been silver, them Mercedes. Like my grandma’s silverware, all shiny and such. But this year, they added a bit of… well, a bit of somethin’ else. A little splash, they say.
Some folks, they get all worked up about it. “Oh, it’s the best lookin’ car!” “No, it’s the worst!” Me? I just think, “Well, it’s a car. It goes fast. That’s about it.” But I hear tell some folks like to rank ’em. Like they do with them chickens at the county fair. Best lookin’ chicken gets a blue ribbon, I guess. Best lookin’ car… well, I don’t know what it gets, maybe a pat on the hood.
They say Aston Martin, now that was a looker in 2017. Ten out of ten, some folks say. Alfa Romeo, pretty too. Nine and a half. Ferrari, always red, always fancy, gets a nine. Then there’s this Alpha Tauri, eight outta ten, not too shabby. Mercedes, they put ’em at seven. Middle of the pack, I guess. Like a good, sturdy mule – not the prettiest, but gets the job done.
- Aston Martin (10/10)
- Alfa Romeo (9.5/10)
- Ferrari (9/10)
- Alpha Tauri (8/10)
- Mercedes (7/10)
- Alpine (6.8/10)
- Williams (6.2/10)
- Mclaren(5.5/10)
- Redbull(5/10)
- Haas(Uralkali) (2/10)
Alpine, Williams, McLaren… they’re all in there too. Lower numbers, though. Red Bull, just a five. And Haas, poor thing, only got a two. Must’ve been ugly as a mud fence, I reckon. But that Mercedes, seven outta ten. Not bad, not great. Just… there. Like a reliable old pickup truck. It ain’t gonna win no beauty contests, but it’ll haul your hay bales just fine.
Now, some of these cars, they got these big ol’ fins on the back. Like a shark, they say. But that Mercedes, its fin wasn’t so big. Smaller than the others. Maybe that’s why it didn’t get a higher score. Folks like big fins, I guess. Reminds me of them catfish down at the creek – the bigger the fin, the bigger the fish.
And this “Martini” they talk about… sounds like somethin’ you drink, not somethin’ on a car. But they say it was on the car, this Martini somethin’. And that engine, a Mercedes-AMG turbo V6… sounds like a whole lotta noise to me. Like my old tractor when it’s tryin’ to plow through a tough patch of dirt. Loud and powerful, I guess.
People on the internet, they argue about these things. “Best livery!” “Worst livery!” They go on and on. It’s like listenin’ to the roosters crowin’ in the mornin’ – everybody’s got somethin’ to say, but mostly it’s just noise. They even have these… “polls,” they call ’em. Like votin’, but for car paint. Can you believe it? Folks votin’ on what color a car should be. Well, I never.
But I’ll tell ya what, that silver car, it did alright. Finished second in some championship thing. Beat out Ferrari, they say. So maybe lookin’ pretty ain’t everythin’. Maybe it’s what’s under the hood that counts. Like a good workin’ dog – ain’t gotta be fancy, just gotta get the job done. And that Mercedes, it got the job done. Second place ain’t too shabby, I reckon.
So, that’s the way I see it. The f1 mercedes livery 2017… a silver car, a little splash of color, not the prettiest, not the ugliest. Just a car. A fast car, mind you, but still just a car. And folks will argue about it till the cows come home, but at the end of the day, it’s just paint on metal. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go feed them chickens.
