Nico Hulkenberg has taken a playful jab at former team Force India, joking that its new pink livery is one of the reasons he left for Renault ahead of this season.
Force India revealed pink colours on Tuesday as part of a new sponsorship deal with Austrian water company BWT. It is a radical departure from the team's previous silver and black livery and adds another bright colour to this year's grid.
On top of the new livery, drivers Sergio Perez and Esteban Ocon will wear pink helmets to reinforce the BWT partnership.
Responding to the announcement, Hulkenberg, who has new yellow and black overalls with Renault this year, posted a cheeky message about the new paintjob on Facebook.
