Renault F1 paint job

Renault has unveiled this new livery before the Silverstone Grand Prix, with a paintjob matching that of the first-ever Renault F1 car - the turbocharged RS01.

Renault won't want to take anything but artistic inspiration from the RS01. Nicknamed the 'Yellow Teapot', the RS01 was an unreliable mess on the track, failing to finish any races in its first season.

Unfortunately we're not going to see the yellow car on the track though - it's a one-off created to celebrate 30 years of Renault in F1.

But maybe, with a bit of persuasion, Renault might adopt the livery permanently. The way their F1 season is going so far, we can't imagine that Heikki or Fisi will complain.
