    I think they should be required to include at least some "Gulf Orange" as the cars carried in Bruce's day.

    Certainly brings back some memories!

    However, is it not *way* too close to the outlawed "Marlboro livery"? [I guess Marlboro wouldn't object, but I doubt it'll fly with the powers.]

    Cheers,

    It all hangs on Chico's performance if he is a rising star
    Then Telmex may take the plunge to be title sponsor
    Plus IMO I don't think McLaren will change from it's current
    colors even if sponsors change

    Telmex & Perez fit Mclaren well; especially as they try to grow their cars into the S.American market.
    Replacing Vodafone's $$ is not going to be easy. The big variable is how they progress throughout the year. Obviously not off to a good start for them.....

    They should come up with something new. That's just giving Marlboro free advertising.

    Interestigly Slim was the owner of the Marlboro business in Mexico.

    Nice livery, especially with Honda in the mix.

    Only if Honda is their new engine supplier and Marlboro is allowed to openly advertise as Marlboro.

    If not, no.

    Marlboro writes a big check to Ferrari Why in the world is there speculation on weather McLaren will be carrying Marlboro colors and theme ?

    I suppose they´ll just swap the Vodafone red for the Telmex blue and the rest will remain unchanged.

    They should go back to orange. That's just the Marlboro livery they had in the 80s and early 90s.
