I love the 'Bold Livery' they're using for Monaco.

As for other teams doing this... how often to 'special liveries' work out?  Ferrari and Mercedes have both done 'throw back' liveries with disastrous race weekends. 

And of course there was the Jaguar Ocean's Twelve livery for the 2004 Monaco Grand Prix, where Christian Klien literally lost a $400K diamond.

Hopefully McLaren has success with their Bold look, and breaks the 'special livery' curse.

With budget caps there's likely to be less of this!

The folks at McLaren also spent 20 days hand finishing one of their 720S road cars in Gulf colors. Looks good!  :good:
