McLaren P1 looks retrolicious in Gulf livery

We live in a bit of a conundrum over here in the Autoblog editorial office. On the one hand, we're big fans of progress – and things move fast in the automotive industry. On the other, we do like a bit of retro style from time to time – especially when it comes to classic racing liveries. Where those two intersect, though, can leave us weak in the knees. Like this McLaren P1, for example, decked out in retro Gulf livery. Commissioned from the McLaren Special Operations by Canadian venture capitalist and philanthropist Miles Nadal, this one-of-a-kind take on Woking's flagship hybrid hypercar looks prime to line up alongside a Martini-liveried Porsche 918 Spyder or trounce a JPS-inspired Lotus Evora. It may not have the Gulf Oil logos plastered all over it – that would strike us as a little over the top – but it has been done up in the traditional baby blue with orange accents, from the tapered orange stripe running over the top to the orange brake calipers. The theme continues subtly inside where McLaren's own signature orange accents are joined by more baby blue to complete the theme. Though McLaren might not be as closely associated with Gulf as say, Aston Martin or Porsche, the two have crossed paths on a handful of notable instances over the course of their respective histories in racing. One of the most iconic of the long-tail McLaren F1 GTRs wore Gulf livery alongside Davidoff logos, as did another short-tail example, as well as an M8D, M16B-2 and M19A straight through to the modern MP4-12C GT3.

F1 racer walked away from this horrifying crash in Australia

Fernando Alonso says he is 'lucky' to have walked away from his terrifying crash during the Australian Grand Prix. The McLaren driver clattered into the back of Esteban Gutierrez's Haas as the pair squabbled over 19th place, sending Alonso into a horrifying rollover. The impact was big enough to result in the race being red-flagged. Alonso emerged unscathed from the crash, something he told the BBC he is lucky to have done. "It was a big crash," he said. "I tried to take the slip stream of Gutierrez until braking point and in the last moment it was a combination of factors that we ended up with a crash. "Lucky we are both okay talking to you guys, and I'm thankful for the safety of the car and I am alive talking to you. Thanks to FIA work and continual safety." In terms of blame, Alonso pointed out that he felt the accident was nothing more than a racing incident. "I think it is a racing incident," he confirmed. "We both tried to fight and obviously sometimes we forget we are at 300km/h and every little crash can become much bigger. "This one was disappointing because we start the championship with zero points and damaged the power unit so we probably have to take the second one immediately."
