There was a small amount of controversy in the ‘B’ category between the two presenters. Both agreed that the blue and pink effort from Alpine was worthy of a solid grade, but Schiff was stunned as Brundle used his veto power to prevent her from placing the striking red Ferrari at the top of the pile. His issues were with where black has been used to compliment the traditional red, and put it level with the Alpine on the board.
After much deliberation, they could not decide between them whether the McLaren, complete with new light blue accents to compliment the popular ‘papaya’ shade, would slot into the ‘A’ or ‘B’ category, so they put it halfway between. It left only three more designs to go through, all of which went right to the top.
The Mercedes design was a no-brainer, as both presenters declared that they were happy to see a return to a main color of silver after two years of black cars. Aston Martin’s shimmering green also made it into the highest category, but only after Schiff overruled her more experienced partner to place it there.
But there was total agreement between them that the very best of the lot is the Alfa Romeo. Both praised the striking red and white design, and Brundle added: “I think that will really stand out on the track – it reminds me a little bit of [Ayrton] Senna in a McLaren.”
