Pirelli’s colourful Mexican Grand Prix win

Pirelli grabbed its first-ever victory in Formula One’s modern era at Mexico in 1986, with Gerhard Berger driving his Benetton-BMW to victory (that was also the Austrian's maiden F1 triumph). On that occasion, the Italian tyres had been marked with the fashion brand’s famed “united colors”. Looks quite familiar, doesn’t it?
