Drivers team gear

[darcym]

Has anyone noticed that F1 teams are not really bothered in presenting the "team" image within their drivers racewear.

There have always been a few exceptions to drivers having "special" raceware, but most of the time it is not really visible (shumachers OMP race suit looks the same as the Ferrari Sabelts - for example)

The only time I remember seeing things that broke the team mold was sennas Nactional sponsor on his overalls.

Take a look at it today,

BAR button/Sato different colour race boots and race gloves

Ferrari Shumacher's OMP kit

Renault Alonso and truli wear alpine stars race boots/gloves (trulis white boots ?????) the team wear Puma.

Williams Montoyas alpinestar gloves and oakley boots, Ralphs Puma gloves and Nike boots

It doesn't really matter they they are not the same makes, but they look very different, it doesn't really look as professionals as teams used to look, and in times when sponsors are all important, it surprises me that teams allow this more now, than they used to.


The only one that presents the team image is Mclaren still, but they are a bit too extremem


Not really important just an interesting observation based on todays current climate
