McLaren F1 Team Revives Chrome Livery For Silverstone Grand Prix

The McLaren Formula 1 team will revive its chrome livery for the upcoming 2023 British Grand Prix at Silverstone - a nod to the team's car from 2006 to 2014. This era was particularly good for McLaren, especially whenSir Lewis Hamiltonclinched the Driver's World Championship bya single pointfrom Ferrari in 2008.

The British F1 team also saw it fitting to bring back the livery since it was the same year Google, its primary sponsor, launched the Chrome browser. That said, the chrome throwback livery at McLaren's home F1 race makes sense to maximize marketing mileage.

However, the special chrome livery isn't a complete throwback to Hamilton's winning F1 car. Understandable, as McLaren's current Papaya Orange team color needs to be showcased in the car.

The chrome livery also celebrates McLaren's 60th anniversary, a follow-up to McLaren F1'sTriple Crown liveryrevealed during the Monaco Grand Prix. The latter is a tribute to McLaren Racing's iconic feat of winning the Motorsport Triple Crown: victory at the Indianapolis 500, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the Monaco Grand Prix.
