Renault Sport F1 presented the final livery of its RS16 car today at Melbourne ahead of their come-back in Formula One.
Renault Sport F1 presented its new colors for this season, the which will be the definitive ones for 2016 as, so far, they only used a black livery for testing. Two days before the first practice sessions of the Australian Grand Prix, the lozenge brand team revealed their new livery.
The main color of the livery is the yellow, reminding one of the first year of Renault in F1 in 1977 and their famous Yellow Tea Pot, or their last car in 2010 with Robert Kubica and Vitaly Petrov.
Therefore, Kevin Magnussen and Jolyon Palmer will have full yellow racing overalls for the first meeting of the season as they both were at the presentation today at Melbourne. They also were in a promotional spot where there is a Formula Renault 3.5 car with the new livery, which allowed it to be linked yesterday on internet.
Renault expects a difficult first season for their coming-back but they also expect a progression throughout this season and the following years to try to come back to the success they had in the early 2000s.
