While there was a mixed reception to the Renault testing livery unveiled in Paris today, this is the livery it inherited the last time the French manufacturer returned as a constructor. Though it had taken over Benetton some time earlier, the team was officially re-named Renault in 2002 and fielded Jenson Button (pictured here testing in Barcelona in January of that year) and Jarno Trulli.
