McLaren take on a retro look for return of the Monaco GP
The Peninsula
WOKING, England - McLaren's cars, drivers and team will sport a retro look for the return of Formula One's Monaco Grand Prix this week with a special one-off livery in the colours of sponsor Gulf Oil International.
The combination of orange stripe and powder blue has a particular resonance for motorsport fans, with Hollywood actor Steve McQueen famously racing a Gulf-liveried Porsche 917 in the 1971 movie 'Le Mans'. The Gulf connection with McLaren dates back to 1968 and the team's late founder Bruce McLaren.More Related News
