I like the green and yellow; shame that the green isn't a little darker and the name isn't Aston Martin!

I wouldn't want the green colouration any darker, I think it works well... Still waiting for an orange car though

Maybe McLaren can go back to their roots? We can't have two silver teams..... & Their livery used to be orange...

British Racing green was originally pretty much that colour but various teams have used their own shades. British Racing green is supposed to be the green of the Irish shamrock as Ireland had to host the first British hosting of the British Gordon Bennett trophy (motorsport was outlawed in Britain at the time). As a mark of gratitude to Ireland and due to the fact that Napier in winning the last year's race, had secured the race for Britain, already raced in a shade of green, the British racing colour was decided on as shamrock green.

Very interesting fact there gilles27! I could use that during an awkward silence at some point....

brilliant
If you're resorting to a sentence that includes the words 'Gordon Bennet trophy' then the conversation is probably beyond salvaging...

I used it..... it didn't go down well at all.. Kind of what I was expecting when none of them are interested in F1 or racing haha

[Jabberwocky]
