It's pretty much a futile exercise but one which caught our eye here at F1i. Sean Bull Designs which specializes in fantasy and retro liveries did some beautiful work here by outfitting today's F1 cars with a selection of iconic and familiar Le Mans uniforms.

Check out these liveries and tell us what you think.

A rendition based on the celebrated union between Rothmans and Porsche kicks off the series. The pair won in the Sarthe four times.

Sauber and Mercedes always offered a classy and sobre livery on their cars, and one which looks simple and smart on an F1 machine

Remember the Bentley Speed 8 which won Le Mans in 2003? Well here it is in Grand Prix splendor.

Renault should perhaps give Sean Bull a call because we think this car looks better than its current RS16

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
