Last summer, we did a re-fit of a new monocoque for a now defunct F1 team, after they smashed up the car at the last race before the summer shutdown. It was absolutely shocking how much body filler was in the old one, let alone the amount of paint. Worse yet, every void on any bonded component was full of adhesives. I know some smart engineers who worked there, and wonder how they felt about the shop guys undoing hours of hard work and grams saved in CAD
So that's what the other end of the grid is doing! The colour was metallic British racing green
