McLaren's Brown asks F1 to relax livery advertisement rules

Zak Brown insists F1 should follow a commercial livery plan that is already enforced by NASCAR and IndyCar. Brown suggests teams should be allowed to run different liveries on their cars and to allow one-off special occasion pain jobs.

This could be a way of introducing a bigger cash flow to the teams lower down on the grid. And it'll make it more visually entertaining, though fans may lose track of their favourite driver.

"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," said Brown, said at the Motorsport Leaders Forum in London.

"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]."

It has been tried once by BAR back in 1999. They attempted to run with one cigarette brand on one car, and the team-mate had a different cigarette brand. F1 forced them to run the same double-livery.

We like the idea of different liveries, it might shake it up a little bit and add something extra in the build-up to a race weekend. But what do you think? Would it work in F1? Let us know in the comments!
