Unlike pastel coloured pants, old skool 1980s and 1990s F1 liveries always warm the hearts of those who lived through them the first time. So here’s a few retro inspired liveries applied to a recent Formula One car that we think look the duck’s guts. We can’t tell you too much about the donor car, except to say the end results are very cool.
As well as the Williams look above, there’s also one for Benetton and a couple from McLaren. Maybe one day McLaren will actually race with the Can-Am derived orange colour scheme.

Yeah, it’s funny though, I love the Marlboro livery (old HDT touring cars too), but I make the immediate connection to Prost/Senna/Brock etc and not smokes. Must be a sign of a true petrolhead I guess.
As a Schumi fan, I really do like that 1995 Mild Seven Benetton-Renault livery 🙂 Although it could be 1996 post Schumi but that livery reminds me of Schumi’s 1994/95 championships 🙂
