The Austrian team had teased fans earlier in the month after posting a blank version of the car to social media saying it was a "blank canvas". This got the F1 world hoping the team were going to take a completely different approach to the livery design, only to be left disappointed.
Another fan commented:
"I waited almost an hour for another copy and paste job. I had hope this year"
