100% correct, all uk cars should be british racing green. Blue was Italy I think?

Blue was France. Italy was, believe it or not, red

Hey, if it makes the car faster, I see no reason why they shouldn't use it.

I think France is blue - hence why the Ligier/Prost was always blue. I believe Italy is red - like Ferrari. Austrailia is orange (last years Mclaren test livery - Bruce Mclaren was Austrailian), Japan is white (last years Honda/Toyota), Germany is silver (Mclaren Mercedes). I think the USA is yellow but i could be wrong.

So teams still do race in their national colours!

He was not! McLaren was a Kiwi. Brabham liveries when owned by Jack Brabham were Green and Gold, typically Australian colours.

My bad.

As much as I've seen the cars so far, then for some reason I've got the feeling that like in 2006, Ferrari and Renault are going to be the main title challengers again. Ferrari might have a slight advantage in drivers line-up, but if Renault's technical personnel (better than Ferrari's after the departure of Team MS?) can find an extra tenth our two advantage over Ferrari, it might be pretty close.

No he wasn't! McLaren was a Kiwi, and Australias traditional colours are Green and Gold, which were the colours of the Brabham Racing Organisation before Brabham sold it to Bernie Ecclestone.

Normally Italy use blue jersey in all sport disciplines, except for racing where they use red (preferably Ferrari's red) :
