Here is my suggestion for how I think the 2018 Mclaren F1 livery could be much improved with very small changes:
The orange livery has great potential and looks great already in some angles, but the design is inhibited by mainly one design flaw, in my oppinion: The blue should only be an accent color and I
think it has been overdone in the present design. The similar Indy 500 livery on
the other hand (see below) was excellent because of its super clean approach and really
stood out from the rest of the field. As you can see the
blue in that case was kept only to parts of the wings and the numbers while the
orange was allowed to really dominate the main body, including the fin, which I
think is the way to go with the F1 livery as well. With more, preferably
black, graphical elements on the car it will look even better, for examples
when there are more logos added to the car. Making the fin entirely orange would also makes the car look more aggressive because the appearance of the main body
becomes more edgy and less round. My oppinion is that the combination of the round shape and the
big blue and orange fields makes the present design almost look a bit childish. To further improve the livery the black parts could be made matte instead of glossy and possibly the halo could be orange, or partly orange.
