Midland F1 reveal new livery

Post by Ed » Wed Nov 16, 2005 2:56 pm

The Midland F1 team today revealed their new livery for 2006. The team bought the Jordan Grand Prix team in 2005 but ran the traditional yellow livery associated with the Jordan team. Starting from next month the Midland cars will be red, silver grey and white.

Colin Kolles, Managing Director of MF1 Racing, stated: "November 15th, 2005, is a very important day for Midland, as it marks our official entrance into the 2006 FIA Formula One World Championship. As a new team, the challenge was to find the best way to graphically define our identity in the public?s perception. It was a difficult exercise, but fascinating and rewarding at the same time. I think Rob Taylor, our in house Product Designer, has done an excellent job with the livery,
which is powerful and distinct from any other on the grid. The logo is a striking concept created by two young Italian design students from the Istituto Europeo de Design and it was great to have been able to give them this opportunity to express themselves."
