McLaren hints at 2018 F1 car livery 

Ahead of its launch on Friday, McLaren has given its strongest indication yet that its 2018 Formula 1 car will feature a return to a more traditional orange livery.

A teaser video released on Monday shows a fictional night security guard finding a number of McLaren’s famous papaya-coloured F1 cars scattered around the team’s Woking factory while investigating a supposed disturbance. 

The video concludes with the security guard reaching the final car, which appears to be the new MCL33 - carefully framed in shot as to not be fully exposed - adorned in a predominantly orange livery and including the Halo cockpit protection device, which itself is black.
