McLaren will run special chrome livery at the British Grand Prix; Google and McLaren tease the return of the livery
In recent developments, McLaren and Google took to Twitter and revealed that McLaren is bringing back the chrome livery. In their home race at the British Grand Pix, McLaren will run a special chrome-inspired livery.
McLaren used a chrome livery from 2006 to 2014, which stood as an iconic fan-favourite livery. The new design will be a nod to the old iconic livery.
The old chrome livery marked an era of Lewis Hamilton’s drivers’ world championship in 2008. That was the last time McLaren won a world championship. After that, the British operation returned their livery to the team’s roots with the use of papaya.
