The old red, white and blue is going yellow

So says Autosprint, via !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , with regard to the American Haas F1 team's potential livery of choice. It's probably a stretch, considering the quote, but it'd stand out among a field of blah.

"We would love to have a car in line with the company's image," said team owner Gene Haas, whose corporate logo is actually red and silver. "But it needs to be good, too, because all these cars in silver or gray appear almost identical to each other. I would like a color that makes us distinguishable. I do like yellow."

Renault appears to be the last F1 team to run a yella' car (in 2010) and that's the picture, sourced from !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , you see at the top of this page. Jordan (which ultimately became Force India) ran a yellow car in the 1990s and early 2000s.

I'm cool with yellow. After all, yellow is the livery color of choice for the Corvette Racing team and has been for the last 15 years. I certainly equate it with 'Murica.
