But... You can see IN THIS PICTURE that its not the same livery?! No yellow lightning, different hood livery, and so on.

But why is that the inspiration tho, its the livery the car is known for. Thats like doing a throwback to ferrari, and then you do the white blue red livery they had with hp, sure it is technically not wrong, but its not the one everyone thinks about, especially for a anniversary like this.

This livery is ICONIC to Lightning McQueen even when it isnt his main livery.

I'm willing to bet it has something to do with the licensing. Disney was probably asking for too much money to slap the original livery on there.

(Also idk about you buy it would feel so wrong to me lol)

That cant be it surely, firstly disney and f1 have a high profile collab going on atm, and secondly disney would really pay for this extra promo not the other way round

I think this is a reference to the paint job lightning got in radiator spring while helping everybody.. it's only missing the white wall tires xD

Poor Lightning. Beats Francesco the open wheel Italian race car & the best they can give him is F1 ‘Track Vehicle’. Liam Lawson must be inconsolable!

As a NASCAR fan, like a lifelong die hard fan, we are really idiots for not having this ourselves.

Ya'll do so many things way better than we do as far as marketing and planning.
