F1 should allow teams to run special one-off liveries, says Brown

McLaren CEO Zak Brown believes that Formula One should be more open to the idea of allowing teams to run special one-off liveries.
F1's current commercial rights agreements limit sides to run with the same colour scheme on the two cars throughout the season.
The McLaren CEO was speaking at the Motorsport Leaders Business Forum in London earlier today, and believes that a rethink of the livery rules and regulations would be better for the sport.
"I think what you could see and what I would be supportive of, and it's not currently allowed, is - and IndyCar does this, as does NASCAR - is changing paint schemes throughout the year," Brown said when asked about the idea of teams being able to run colours as they pleased.
"I still think I'd like to see it as two cars, but if you were going to Monaco and you have a big programme going with one your partners, and for that weekend you wanted to turn it in to a Dell Technologies car or whatever the case may be, but both would be the same (you could do that).

"So the fans still knew that's McLaren, that's Ferrari, whoever the team may be.
"I think that might be a new innovation with partnerships in Formula 1 that's not quite to the extreme of seeing different cars in totally different liveries, because I think those fans are more focused on the driver."
