McLaren has quashed rumours it is set to ditch its chrome livery in 2011 in favour of black paintwork.

Reports had linked the team's launch of black and red official clothing for this year with rumours it may want to differentiate itself from former works partner Mercedes, who now compete with a similarly silver-liveried car.

"Black livery? Er, no," McLaren said via its official Twitter feed TheFifthDriver.

The Woking based team, still powered by Mercedes engines, added that the 2011 livery will be "the same Rocket Red and chrome finish that you've grown to love since Vodafone McLaren Mercedes was born in 2007".

"That's official, btw," McLaren confirmed.
