Everything is slowly falling into place for Racing Point, in terms of their rebranding to Aston Martin F1 Team in 2021. They have already signed a multiple title winner in Sebastian Vettel, following up that move up by sealing a deal with Jefferson Slack as their new Commercial Managing Director. Now they have revealed what their prospective color of livery will be.

Racing Point have already been busy planning for the future. Addressing the racing livery for the 2021 F1 season seems to be the next logical step in the transformation process.

Speaking to the press, ahead of the Russian Grand Prix, driver Lance Stroll spilled the beans. He said, “I believe it will be British Racing Green. So it will be pretty cool.”

However, according to a report by Motorsport.com, “Initial design concepts have already been reviewed by the existing Racing Point bosses for the Aston Martin rebrand that incorporate the British Racing Green colors.

“But the color scheme is also set to retain the bright pink color of existing title sponsor BWT. Initial design concepts that were recently reviewed are understood to have been rejected as they did not feature enough pink.”

Pink and green aren’t really colors that go well together. So it will be interesting to see the kind of concoction the bosses at Racing Point decide upon.

British Racing Green is the signature colors of Aston Martin

This is not the first time we’ll be seeing an Aston Martin in that iconic shade grace an F1 track. Back in 1959, Aston Martin had its first tryst with F1 as a constructor. Although that move was shortlived (only 6 races to be precise), they did sport the British Racing Green.

The color is pretty much as symbolic to Aston Martin as red is to Ferrari. Aston Martin’s Super GT team sport the British Racing Green and until recently, even their Endurance Racing team did the same.

Some would have thought that perhaps the F1 team could go down the same road as the FIA Endurance racing team did this season, choosing to sport a lime green with accents of their classic color on the sides in the pattern of what could be best described as sunrays.

But they have decided to stick with tradition albeit with an odd mishmash of pink to go along with it. It doesn’t paint a mental picture that screams ‘beautiful.‘ But only time will tell if their livery will be a yay or a nay.
