If your goal is to have the automotive industry
progress in as quick a pace as possible, getting more performance-oriented
automakers directly involved with Formula 1 is a great way to bring about the
future.
Take Jaguar for instance. They haven't been involved
with F1 since 2004, when they were purchased by Red Bull and became Red Bull
Racing.
History aside, if we were to look into the future,
at least a hypothetical version of it, we could easily see Jag come back to
modern day F1, with a car that looks just like this rendering from Sean Bull
Liveries.
The purple and white, while far removed from the
Racing Green you'd expect on a GP-ready Jaguar, is a throwback to the old Le
Mans winning cars from the 1980s.
