“At least we can look good while being slow”- F1 Twitter goes full throttle over McLaren’s Triple Crown Livery launch

McLaren has created a unique livery to celebrate the occasion as Monaco gears up for this weekend’s Formula One race. This livery, dubbed the “Triple Crown Livery,” has sparked a frenzy of enthusiasm among F1 enthusiasts on Twitter. On social media, there is a distinct sense of excitement and appreciation as fans impatiently anticipate the Monaco Grand Prix to see this remarkable livery in action.

This weekend marks another historical overlap between the Monaco GP and its esteemed Triple Crown counterpart, the Indy 500. The Triple Crown is a rare honor, held alone by Zack Brown’s team throughout the long racing history. The dazzling livery is a stunning combination of papaya-orange, white, and black, creating a magnificent visual spectacle. Its overwhelming elegance exemplifies McLaren’s artistic superiority in Formula 1.

McLaren is still trying to establish their groove on the track in the 2023 season. Due to a disappointing design approach, the Woking-based team has suffered a setback in pace, leaving them to wallow among the backmarkers. Their current performance in terms of speed leaves much to be desired. The performance of their Australian rookie, Oscar Piastri, has been underwhelming thus far, while Lando Norris hasn’t consistently showcased his full potential either. Despite these obstacles, McLaren now sits in a comfortable fifth place in the standings, thanks to a stroke of luck in Melbourne.

F1 Tweetizens go berserk over the stunning livery and urge the team to use it for the rest of the season

McLaren has a history of creating unique one-off liveries for the Monaco Grand Prix, and the “Triple Crown Livery” follows suit. As a homage to their collaboration with Gulf Oil, they presented a stunning Gulf livery in 2021 for their MCL35. The supporters loved it passionately and advocated for its continuation throughout the season, as they do today with the newly launched livery. McLaren’s ability to engage fans with these amazing designs demonstrates their dedication to creating unforgettable events on and off the track.

The F1 Twitterverse has reacted well to the new livery. Fans have mocked McLaren by stating that their liveries outshine their real performance, therefore ridiculing the team for allegedly putting more time into their livery than in the development of their car. A Twitter user joked, “shame it doesn’t get the screen time,” meaning that McLaren’s on-track presence may be lacking, mirroring their rather mediocre performance for the majority of the season. The new livery bore little resemblance to their iconic Marlboro livery, and fans have often asked them to bring that back.

McLaren is determined to revive their season through an aggressive approach, as they have a B-Spec car in development. The upcoming race in Monaco holds the key to McLaren’s fortunes, and fans eagerly anticipate their performance on the iconic circuit. Meanwhile, fans continue to shower their love for the livery across the internet, celebrating this visual masterpiece that has captured their hearts.
