I’d go with the theory that silver is just a great paint scheme when done right, like on the current McLarens.

The official racing color for Germany is white. BMW and Porsche still use white. There must be some reason Mercedes and “Audi” swapped to bare metal.

The story that they had to do so because on scrutineering day the car was overweight sounds silly though. They would have known before.

Indeed I have seen a picture of a 1932 Mercedes which also was unpainted.

The Mercedes museum in Stuttgart is a fascinating place to go if you ever get the chance, definitely worth a visit!

Is it just me or did the voice over sound like he was ready to burst out and tell me about “Just for Men“?

I also like how they avoided using any archive F1 footage…
