DC's Car This Weekend... what's the story?
Because it's his last GP, has Red Bull decided to give him a deliberately ugly livery? What does this represent if anything?The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

I'm pretty sure it's a charity initiative, but I'm not 100% what it's for. The car doesn't look awful, but likewise not particularly distinctive either.
They should have painted the sidepods with Scottish crosses or something.

A poor livery but a very classy gesture.

The livery is fine for me, but I'm struggling to associate the message on the car with DC's last race.

It's a good idea and through sentimental value of DC's last race and the livery's cause, it was allowed to race as a different livery to the other team car, which is otherwise illegal.

This is the act of a class guy .
David , I'm sure , knew they would run a "thanks , David " on the car , and instead , insisted on a better use of the space .
I'm not so sure that the message in the livery would be as clear if we didn't have the announcers explaining the idea , but , good on David for this .
He might have always been a nearly man , but a gentlemanly one when it counts .

Having a son with a spinal cord injury I know first hand that there is treatment, and solutions to what have been thought to be "hopeless cases" There is no doubt that in the future most spinal cord injuries will be treatable.
The problem we have now is the medical Institutions are more interested in "ocupational therapy" (teaching victims how to operate their wheelchairs, while feeding them med's that actually make recovery nearly impossible.) I plan on personally thanking him in the form of a letter to his website!May the forza be with you
