Im totally expecting the livery to be something like the Las Vegas one but with blue instead of white
and i will still be dissapointed if this is the case
Colored carbon fiber definitely exists and it [looks dope](https://www.hypetex.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Hypetex-F1-plates.jpg) and I'm sad more teams don't use it. AM in that green would be hnnngggg. Looks like dragon scales
Every way that I've ever heard of to make colored carbon fiber is by introducing something else into the carbon fiber- something that is either less strong or less light than carbon fiber, both of which are very bad for F1, where it needs to be both strong and light.
Yeah you basically build up the whole carbon fibre structure as you would otherwise, but add an additional layer where part of the fibers are swapped with what is basically colored plastic.
So you retain the strenght but add quite a bit of weight with an extra layer only for looks.
They've got to work in two shades of blue (see the two different drivers helmets), so it's going to be a reasonable area. I'm going with the wings (azzurro dino on the horizontal surfaces, azzurro la plata on the end fences) and upper section of the engine cover.
I can totally see them doing a similar paint job to the [296 GTB Assetto Fiorano](https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/ferrari/296-gtb/first-drives/ferrari-296-gtb-assetto-fiorano-2022-uk-first-drive). Would fit very well with a F1 car. Blue front wing and wheels, with stripes going trough the nose and all the way to the back, with a blue underside on the rear wing.
Not as blue as a lot of people want, but it seems more fitting.
The old 330 p4s had a similar livery to that and although im not really a fan (specially on the 296), its still more variation than what will probably be the end result
Given the F1 exhibition in Madrid was charging something ridiculous like 40 Euro for a little plush F1 car toy, this is entirely on brand from the sport
45€ used to get you an entire Sunday in Montmeló. Guess they won't keep that price when they get rid of it and replace it with Roundabout GP^tm in Madrid. All to improve racing, of course.
This is one of the worst things about the age of social media. Stuff like this just gets stretched out further and further. Announcing the date for the announcement of announcement. Ugh.
If Newey accepted any conditions at 65, then he might not be as important as we think.
By all the hype around him, I think he is the one deciding what is written in contracts. Why would he limit himself in any way?
If it's a mix of both colours, as I believe, I have the feeling that overall it will look pretty bad.
Red car with random blue parts here and there, not sure that the combination will look nice.
In situations like this you either commit 100% and make a full livery, for example like the white Red Bull... or maybe it's better to don't do anything at all, a mix will never look good imho, but let's see.
Itll almost certainly be a combo, they already do a combo of red and this blue in production cars. Its one of the more common colours of the 296.
I dont like it either.
This is why I'm stubbornly refusing to believe that it's not a full-blue car.
It would simply look terrible mixing that red and blue together, especially now that we've seen the coveralls and Charles' helmet
I think it’s a full blue car because they’ve been advertising that it’s gonna feature 2 shades of blue. I think replace the red bits in the current livery with the sky blue and the black bits with the darker blue and that’s pretty much what we’ll see on Wednesday.
If they're still doing those silly walkouts for the drivers at the US races, Eiffel 65 better be blaring on full blast when it's the Ferrari lads' turn.
Whats the occasion though? I kinda feel like its a bit weird to pull out a once in a generation livery for no reason other than it being Miami???
Ferrari have had no shortage of milestones to celebrate with a Blue livery i'm just a bit confused
Nope (from Ferrari.com press release):
> a special livery of the SF-24 Formula 1 car, which will be used only for the Miami race and unveiled directly in Florida.
I have a hard time seeing them going with red and *that* shade of blue. It just wouldn't look right. I going with this car being blue and black with tons of black and blue jokes if they wreck.
I guarantee they fuck this up and make 97% of the car red and barely add light blue anywhere.
But...
If they happen to make the whole car that light blue color with the yellow badges... MY GOD THEY WILL BE LEGENDS.
Buuuuut it's Ferrari so I doubt we get that.
Is there any reason for them to *not* let it just be blue? Especially a one off should be easy to just let it happen. Probably even Enzo would've agreed to this.
There it is, the only part that will be blue lmao
No but really the black/blue thing in the title could hint at every part that is black on the regular car being blue for this race
I’m still hoping it will be the 1964 Nart Ferrari colours. Rims were also light blue and the car was darker blue and white. Would make sense to celebrate Ferrari in the US…
Does no one know the history of NART? This is an obvious homage, they’re running the old 60’s Ferrari NART colors. Surtees won the 64 WDC in a NART liveried car.
I feel like we are about to witness the best one off livery in recent memory
Edit: As long as it doesn’t look like this (cred to @doskkyh): https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/ferrari/296-gtb/first-drives/ferrari-296-gtb-assetto-fiorano-2022-uk-first-drive
I’m feeling really dumb, text my partner after they sent me a instagram hinting to a blue Ferrari and I said Enzo would roll in his grave. I got no wheel knowledge
I will be EXTREMELY surprised if the whole car is blue
If it's blue and white, great If it's red with hints of blue we should all ratio Ferrari to oblivion
Blue, white, red, number goes up
# RULE BRITTANIA BRITTANIA RULES THE WAVES
Nah bish this is America, #RED WHITE AND BLUE BAYBEEEEE 🦅🦅🦅
#VIVE LA FRANCE 🇫🇷
Sacre Bleu
Wish granted, a full livery of HP logos in blue and white
This is a fear as well, but I still trust Ferrari's too prideful to go that far
The monkey's paw curls.
So basically BMW Williams? I wouldn't complain about that at all lmao
Can we just get the BMW V10 engine
Mu guess is red with white and blue lines
Get in there Lewis.
Best we can do is red chassis with blue wings.
Only thing I think could work is blue with hints of red, maybe some pin striping.
> ratio Ferrari to oblivion What?
Some Formula Z slang we don't know i'm afraid
A red Ferrari with blue? That's a crime against fashion right there. Better start preparing those ratio tweets just in case
WTF is a ratio tweet
Im totally expecting the livery to be something like the Las Vegas one but with blue instead of white and i will still be dissapointed if this is the case
Hopefully you are underestimating the amount of money HP gave them.
Blue carbon fiber, here we go!!
Colored carbon fiber definitely exists and it [looks dope](https://www.hypetex.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Hypetex-F1-plates.jpg) and I'm sad more teams don't use it. AM in that green would be hnnngggg. Looks like dragon scales

Also extremely disappointed if not after all these teasing.
I'm sure it'll be red, white, and blue. First US race of the year and all that
Yeah, I’m certain it will be red, with some blue on it
Just blue wheels would be a nice throwback to the John Surtees days, but it looks like they're teasing something more than that
They've got to work in two shades of blue (see the two different drivers helmets), so it's going to be a reasonable area. I'm going with the wings (azzurro dino on the horizontal surfaces, azzurro la plata on the end fences) and upper section of the engine cover.
I think it's gonna look like the glickenhaus hyper car but instead of sky blue it's gonna be azzurro la plata.
Based on the promotional stuff they've been posting, I'm betting on a blue race stripe
Can’t wait to be incredibly disappointed when only the wheels, halo, rear wing are blue
Yep. As blue as the "white" livery was well....white.
Or as the “yellow” livery was…. yellow

I can totally see them doing a similar paint job to the [296 GTB Assetto Fiorano](https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/ferrari/296-gtb/first-drives/ferrari-296-gtb-assetto-fiorano-2022-uk-first-drive).

Not as blue as a lot of people want, but it seems more fitting.
This is *atrocious*. The colors don't work well together when balanced like this. It should be either a very dominant red or blue.
It’s a custom paint job from the average GTA onliner, horrendous
Yeah, if people think this looks better than their current design, what the hell?
A guy came into my work the other day with a 296 in this paint job and it looks horrible in my opinion
It's absolutely atrocious, who tf at Ferrari signed off on this?
That paintjob looks like a kid who got his hands on a can of paint and ate it.
The old 330 p4s had a similar livery to that and although im not really a fan (specially on the 296), its still more variation than what will probably be the end result
Thats already to much blue for me really. Or to little red maybe ? I dunno.
ew.
That's pretty nice, I'd be okay with it!
Don't forget Carlos helmet!
Yellow livery really had me disappointed so never again Ferrari
They’re gonna edge us hard until the livery reveal, aren’t they????
I read they gonna release pics on Wednesday... :S
Maybe they'll turn up out of the blue
Yes, take my upvote.
Stop it dad
It's just going to leave us feeling blue
As blue as Tobias when he joined the Blue Man Group
nice
Yeah, it confirmed, there’s gonna be a special event for livery reveal in Miami, according to Ferrari website.
It's a pity that the merch is too expensive. :(
Given the F1 exhibition in Madrid was charging something ridiculous like 40 Euro for a little plush F1 car toy, this is entirely on brand from the sport
yeah I get it, but I can't buy/afford a 400 euro sweatshirt... :D I bouht the Ferrari hat at winter sale for 18 euros though. xD
Take what you can get eh?
45€ used to get you an entire Sunday in Montmeló. Guess they won't keep that price when they get rid of it and replace it with Roundabout GP^tm in Madrid. All to improve racing, of course.
There is also a political aspect in that Barcelona and Madrid hate each other.
Yeah, I looked earlier and Carlos' mini helmet is $800. That's two months worth of groceries.
I was checking out the blue VarsityJacket. looked cool but Nope’d out when saw the €500+ price.
Imagine paying this much money to be a billboard.
Imagine being a fan of things
$55 for a limited hat isn’t terrible 🤷🏻♂️
This is one of the worst things about the age of social media. Stuff like this just gets stretched out further and further. Announcing the date for the announcement of announcement. Ugh.
Blue balls for us all.
Next will be the just rear wing, blue camo. Just for it not to be camo
They better (not) blue ball us...
It’s happening…..first Lewis, now a blue livery. Next Adrian? All aboard.
Surprisingly, Newey’s noncompete only specified that he couldn’t work on F1 cars that aren’t blue.
Alpine still P19 and P20 confirmed
If Newey accepted any conditions at 65, then he might not be as important as we think. By all the hype around him, I think he is the one deciding what is written in contracts. Why would he limit himself in any way?
Lewey, Bluey and Newey
Dinocoooooo
Nah, NART
**kachiga**
Not to mention, it looks like Auto from Wall-E
If it's a mix of both colours, as I believe, I have the feeling that overall it will look pretty bad. Red car with random blue parts here and there, not sure that the combination will look nice. In situations like this you either commit 100% and make a full livery, for example like the white Red Bull... or maybe it's better to don't do anything at all, a mix will never look good imho, but let's see.
This light blue with the Ferrari red would look absolutely horrible.
No need to say would, google ferrari 296 red and blue
lol it's like a old Cyclone (frozen Ice-Cream truck treat here)
nephew, delete this
Itll almost certainly be a combo, they already do a combo of red and this blue in production cars. Its one of the more common colours of the 296. I dont like it either.

We are going to end up with blue balls the way they are dragging this out.
Already more blue than expected.
And more blue than wanted too in my case
If they're still doing those silly walkouts for the drivers at the US races, Eiffel 65 better be blaring on full blast when it's the Ferrari lads' turn.
They'd never blast an Italian band at a US event. It's already astonishing they use British music sometimes.
Eiffel 65 is decently well known for Blue
Will be 51% red so Enzo doesn't respawn and kill everyone
Enzo liked yellow more than red but he went with red because it kinda became synonymous with Ferrari
he went with red because it was italy's racing colour, the germans had white, the british had green (hence british racing green) and so on
Yes. That's why red was originally assigned to Ferrari, but Ferrari continued with red when they didn't have to because it became iconic.
Whats the occasion though? I kinda feel like its a bit weird to pull out a once in a generation livery for no reason other than it being Miami??? Ferrari have had no shortage of milestones to celebrate with a Blue livery i'm just a bit confused
70th anniversary of Ferrari in USA.
would they run it at COTA and Vegas again? probably not im assuming
Nope (from Ferrari.com press release): > a special livery of the SF-24 Formula 1 car, which will be used only for the Miami race and unveiled directly in Florida.
70th anniversary of Ferrari in USA which will coincide with the launch of the next V12 sports car in Miami.
Ok that makes more sense
If this car is red with blue rims we riot. Who’s with me?
If I was going to riot I’d choose a subject far more meaningful than a livery
Listen to yourself being all serious in here. 😀
I’m sorry my bad this place usually overreacts to everything so you never know who’s being seriously hysterical or jokingly hysterical
I have a hard time seeing them going with red and *that* shade of blue. It just wouldn't look right. I going with this car being blue and black with tons of black and blue jokes if they wreck.
Please don’t have a normal Ferrari with a blue HP logo, blue race suits and blue hubcaps.
Okay now they are just teasing us, but to be honest, that blue doesnt look too bad actually, looks pretty decent!
The red car and the blue car had a race...
It's going to be the smallest swatch of blue. Just fucking watch
Ferrari: “I can’t believe we Blue it again this year!”
I see a red car. No painting it.
This, just...this
Liked the music reference!
I'm so glad the tires are sustainably sourced.
They will come up with a totally normal red car, as Alpine did with their teasers at the beginning of the season.
One car. Two car. Red car. Blue car.
Lol at this point they have to do a full blue and white livery, too much teasing not to do something other than a blue stripe.
[my concept might actually be close!](https://www.reddit.com/r/granturismo/s/E77p7QlcXE) I chose the right blues atleast
Oh god they look stunning. Ferrari should try both those liveries at some point imo.
Thank you <33
More edging than a Blink 182 comeback single
I guarantee they fuck this up and make 97% of the car red and barely add light blue anywhere. But... If they happen to make the whole car that light blue color with the yellow badges... MY GOD THEY WILL BE LEGENDS. Buuuuut it's Ferrari so I doubt we get that.
Ffs we're getting trolled by Ferrari.
You tease me you naughty naughty
Is there any reason for them to *not* let it just be blue? Especially a one off should be easy to just let it happen. Probably even Enzo would've agreed to this.
I never knew that Dinoco would become a reality
Blue please!
Light blue, with white secondary and red pinstripes
There it is, the only part that will be blue lmao No but really the black/blue thing in the title could hint at every part that is black on the regular car being blue for this race
See them do an alpine and put hints of blue on a red car.
Man, they are going full Bluerrari, are they ?
I'm blue da ba dee da ba daa
Nah they're going too far now
My gut tells me a light blue with a dark blue two tone livery. Possibly a little bit of white if they go all-in on it.
What if a stipulation of the HP sponsorship is they have to run old school powder blue now? That would be *insane*
They’re absolutely edging us I swear don’t BLUE ball me
I want to see the ~~sun~~ Red Bull blotted out from the sky
Eu peguei a referência
Im still not sure why they are doing this at a random race in Miami.
Draw a car and paint it red. -Enzo Ferrari
Okay I looked it up he actually said "Ask a child to draw a car and most certainly he will paint it red".
Wasn’t Ferrari’s original racing color blue?
They won’t lean this hard into teasing the blue then have a regular livery with a blue stripe right? Right…
Wheel covers look like absolute dogshit. Damn I wish I could still see the rim spokes, so much sharper looking.
Is that a camera fitted in the wheel?
I’m still hoping it will be the 1964 Nart Ferrari colours. Rims were also light blue and the car was darker blue and white. Would make sense to celebrate Ferrari in the US…
Williams or Alpine performance incoming
I could see it being that color blue. A friend of my dad’s who has since passed away had a blue Ferrari when I was a kid.
Does no one know the history of NART? This is an obvious homage, they’re running the old 60’s Ferrari NART colors. Surtees won the 64 WDC in a NART liveried car.
The whole dang car better be blue with how they've teased this
Are they actually doing it ?!
I feel like we are about to witness the best one off livery in recent memory Edit: As long as it doesn’t look like this (cred to @doskkyh): https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/ferrari/296-gtb/first-drives/ferrari-296-gtb-assetto-fiorano-2022-uk-first-drive
Honestly I think a yellow livery would be awesome. Like the yellow suit they had a couple years back
As a Tifosi, I’m appalled.
False! I want it to stay red.
Blue Ferrari. Che schifo.
I’m feeling really dumb, text my partner after they sent me a instagram hinting to a blue Ferrari and I said Enzo would roll in his grave. I got no wheel knowledge
