The 2026 British Grand Prix should again prove a popular occasion for special liveries among Formula 1 teams.<\/p>\n

While just three of the 11 teams are registered as British, the majority of the squads are either de facto UK-based or at least part-based there, and usually not far from British GP venue Silverstone.<\/p>\n

Here are the British GP-specific colour schemes unveiled thus far.<\/p>\n

McLaren\"\"<\/p>\n

McLaren’s Silverstone design showcases the partnership with its major sponsor Google and specifically Google’s AI tool Gemini.<\/p>\n

But it references a specific car from the past, the white-and-green McLaren M2B campaigned by team founder Bruce McLaren in 1966.<\/p>\n

Cadillac\"Cadillac<\/p>\n

Though Britain was…a relevant party in the historical event in question, Cadillac’s special colour scheme for Silverstone is not British-themed.<\/p>\n

Instead, the American team will deploy a stars-and-stripes USA colour scheme to celebrate Independence Day, July 4 – which will align with qualifying day and which this year marks 250 years since the adoption of the Declaration of Independence.<\/p>\n

Williams\"\"<\/p>\n

Williams’s Silverstone livery is a minor update to its primary 2026 colour scheme.<\/p>\n

The British GP version of the FW48 will feature a “Union Jack-inspired” palette on the side of the nose structure – and also on the team kit and racesuits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 2026 British Grand Prix should again prove a popular occasion for special liveries among Formula 1 teams.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":773599,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[441],"tags":[49,48,578,576,577,82],"class_list":["post-773598","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-f1","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/773598","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=773598"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/773598\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/773599"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=773598"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=773598"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=773598"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
