Why McLaren's special Monaco livery is such a hit

McLaren's decision to run a one-off Gulf livery for the Monaco Grand Prix brought much in the way of praise, along with suggestions that Formula 1 could take a leaf from NASCAR's book and run throwback liveries at future Monte-Carlo visits. But perhaps it's that one-off nature that has made McLaren's new paintjob so popular...

While they always say that fast is beautiful when it comes to Formula 1 machinery, it's equally true that a good livery can help any car become an icon.

Sometimes, a car’s good looks are triggered by its basic shape, which is the result of the package of rules it’s been created for.
