After three pitiful years with Honda, McLaren is
finally releasing itself of the shackles of an underperforming engine and
starting next year afresh with Renault engines. In the process, it's expected
to adopt a new livery – one tipped to revive its classic Papaya Orange tint.
And it could look something a little like this.
Imagined by livery specialist Sean Bull is a
projected look at the 2018 McLaren-Renault MCL33, rendered in orange and blue and with an integrated “halo” cockpit safety device, too.
Now orange was never this writer's favorite color,
but we have to commend McLaren for looking to its roots back to a time when
it, you know, actually won races and championships. Here's hoping Woking's new
challenger looks at least this good, and helps the team rediscover its winning
form.
