Mercedes doesn't have a patent on the colour silver.
In fact, the Honda logo is also silver:
((Silver is esthetically a great colour with black, why not use it?))

I know mercedes don't have a patent on the colour silver, and yes it is a good colour, and I've always thought the McLaren looks good in it. But I'm pretty sure they went silver for MERC and with Honda they were red and white and prior to that orange. So I just wondered why they kept the silver. They had a good opportunity to rebrand for Honda and drop the echoes of Merc. But it's their choice and the car looks good.
"I was Team Principal all those years ago and, while I don’t tend to like looking back to the past, our previous record of sustained success was certainly instrumental in creating the confidence to make the decision to partner with Honda again. Now, there’s real hunger to demonstrate the capabilities of the huge talent pool we share between us, and I’m totally committed to driving progress and achieving further success.
It looks nice but I don't know why they've kept the silver. The silver was from when they were McLaren Mercedes. I think they'd have been better changing the silver to white.
“At McLaren we go into every season hoping and expecting to be fighting for victory but this season is a little bit different.
“Honda is not as experienced with this engine as other manufacturers at the moment.
“It’s not going to be an easy season for us bit I know Honda will throw everything at it.
“The first few weeks are going to be tough but hopefully they will put us in a good position for the first race."
“The mechanics say everything just fits and works, it feels like one full package but different departments.
“Testing is going to be very important to us because we have less experience than the other engine manufacturers.
“But Honda are very good at listening to the drivers and coming up with a fix or improvement for the next test.
“This is an exciting but stressful part of the season getting ready for the first test.”
Maybe that was the input of the 'team leader'
Its good to have an 'alternative' expectation for the new engine from one other than Arai, Ron or Erick who all seem confident that they can win races“At McLaren we go into every season hoping and expecting to be fighting for victory but this season is a little bit different.
