    Was watching the GP F1 at weekend, and was wondering about the colour on the F1 cars. As they gave the colour more 'pizzazz' in 2007 for the TV camera's I understand, that is where the colour F1 2007 came from.
    So what colours are the F1 cars now 9 years on?..still the same shade or has it changed, there doesnt seem to be an option to spec your car with F1 2012 or F1 2015 or any other year, and the colour does look similar...so is it still the same for the last decade on the F1 cars?

    If I'm not mistaken, F1 2007 was only used in 2007 from the Monaco race forward. The F2008 went back to a color more similar to that used in the 90's, and has not changed much since then to my eye.

    We've resolved that our next street Ferrari will be Rosso F1 2007! It's an amazing color.
