    Brawn's Future Colour Scheme

    Now that Brawn have written a fairy tale, how likely is it that various companies are now likely to jump on board?

    If Mercedes-Benz want any kudos from this because they supply the engine, would they want their silver all over the car? Would Sir Richard Branson want his Virgin red on it? How about Henri Lloyd? Wouldn't a silver and red car look like a McLaren?

    Or are they likely to keep their yellow and black for whatever reason? I'm sure money talks louder than sentiment.
    The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

    I hope they leave the car as close to it's current livery as possible!
    However I suspect it will change substancially.
    Which will be a huge Jinx!!!
    May the forza be with you

    As a white car, it stands out. They should keep it mostly white.

    Formula 1 Pendolino perhaps?



    Although with Rubens at the wheel...



    Actually, I do hope the dayglo yellow and black stays, it's quite tidy as it is.

    They should indeed keep it predominantly white. I would like to see the Virgin Atlantic livery on the car: mostly white, with a red tail and a hint of blue. Also, they should use a dark tone for the two edges of the front wing, it doesn't look as weird that way (see Williams). Two small Union Jacks on the sides, for instance on the wheel rims. BTW, I am surprised Mr. Haug doesn't insist on a visible "Powered by Mercedes-Benz" sign on the engine cover. It would be good damage limitation and Mercedes cartainly deserve the credit for helping the team.
