F1 Fans React To McLaren MCL60 Livery Release

McLaren have revealed the MCL60 livery today during an event which was streamed to their YouTube channel and in front of a live audience.

The 2023 livery features much more exposed carbon fibre than we saw on the 2022 car and of course has the papaya orange with bold blue accenting. The wheel trims continue to sport the Google Chrome logos, which fans were keen on last year.

Fans have been quick to share their thoughts on the new look and event, with some saying the launch was "exhilarating".

Special year. Special car. 🧡
#MCL60 is ready for the 2023 F1 season! 👊

One fan commented:

"It's the same but cleaner/nicer. I guess we are trying to make this livery a legacy one like we did with Marlboro & Vodafone. It looks the part, now make it quick."

"Okay I’m officially fed up of launch season. Almost every car has the same or similar colour scheme. Getting boring now. Do better"

"So many teams barely putting any paint/wrap on their cars this season. So much bare black carbon fibre, barely going to be able to tell the grid apart at this rate!"

"A bit of a color swap on the wings. It's not bad, but I didn't really like last years livery so not a big fan of this years either."
