Wasn't one of the Marlboro sponsored teams white and yellow? That'd be some good livery colors.

They used a white and yellow car for Rosberg for Marlboro Lights in one race. It looked bad. Yellow and white is a bad color combo.

Yellow and white can work when outlined with black like that, or like on the old Renaults. Yellow and white with nothing separating them looks like rear end. see:

Is there nothing else generating money in the economy over there? Have you no shame? We discourage vices like that over here

To be fair it seems to be less damage to their economy and society than pharmaceutical drug advertising does to yours.

I should also mention that a bunch of you foreign dudes should figure out how to pirate TSN from Canada for the next 8 days, because the Roar of the Rings is on and it's gonna be a straight up beat down brawl from start to finish. I'm betting it's going to be Homan on the women's side, and Gushue on the men's.

Going to be easily 10 times more exciting than F1 in Abu Dhabi

This is true. If you haven't tuned in to see some attractive ladies sweeping and yelling "Hard! Hard!" then just lol at your life choices.

Also, an all-black F1 car sounds good in theory, but in practice is a visual black hole and not fun to look at.

IMO the best way to do it is the number of GP and WDC wins represented on the grid. IIRC in 1994 after Senna died there were like 10 GP victories represented on the entire grid or something ridiculous like that.

1994 Monaco GP, former winners:

Michael Schumacher (5 wins)
Gerhard Berger (8 wins)
Michele Alboreto (5 wins)
Damon Hill (3 wins)

so 21 GP wins represented on the entire grid. Not even two seasons worth.
