New livery for Renault R26
This weekend’s Grand Prix will be the second time in a week that France and Italy have faced off with a world championship at stake. At Magny-Cours, ‘les bleus’ will be facing up to the challenge of the Scuderia Ferrari – and they will be getting a little helping hand from a new livery, from the pen of Korean designer B-S Choi.
A contemporary fashion designer and celebrity in his native Korea, Choi has drawn inspiration from the parallels between the sweeping, blue curves of the R26 race-car and the dynamism of the ocean. The white livery symbolises a shark, with its sharp teeth, glaring eyes and muscular form scything through the ‘grand bleu’ as the Renault race-cars hopes to do through the F1 field on Sunday afternoon.
After the unique tiger and keris designs brought success in Silverstone and Montreal, Renault surely hopes to make it a hat-trick in Many-Cours!
