Round 6 of the championship sees Formula 1 make it's first of three trips across the Atlantic to Florida. Back-to-back Sprint weekends means we will see two races at the circuit around the Hard Rock Stadium. An event usually filled with plenty of well-known Celebrities, can the circuit finally host a race worthy of the hype it gains? Verstappen commanded the victory in China last race, what can the updates at a few other front-running teams do to stop Max running away again? We are still to see what the special Ferrari livery is, so let's hope we see something awesome at the MIAMI GRAND PRIX!

[Fezzik]

That's it?

 

[MagpieRacer]

The blue Ferrari is red to the surprise of literally no one.

 

[Fezzik]

So much blue! How will we tell it apart from the Williams?

 

[Blitz24]

Reverse the blue and the red and then I like this livery. Otherwise, this is just "an attempt was made".

 

[egl92]

It reminds me of the Brabham Alfa Romeo sponsored by Martini.

 

[Jimlaad43]

 

[Famine]

Reminds me of this:

Which I guess is the point...

 

[Pupik]

You folks really thought there'd be a nearly all-blue Ferrari? Not unless your name is Rob Walker.

It was a one-off which was supposed to go to Stirling Moss, but after his career-sidling injury, it was a single entry for Innes Ireland then given to UDT Laystall at the 1962 non-championship International Trophy at Silverstone. And then the car went back to Ferrari...

 

[MagpieRacer]

There's places they could have gone, blue Ferrari race cars aren't unprecedented, rare, but not impossible. I think the issue people have is there was so much build up on the socials for blue that it just makes you wonder why they bothered with that campaign.

I mean, it's all promo work for their sponsors. And just another example of why I don't care much for pre/post-race chatter and speculation.

If Scuderia Ferrari was down towards the back of the grid, I could see them trying anything to dispel negative attention.

 

[The Chosen One]

The blue Ferrari is red to the surprise of literally no one.

Not out-of-character for Ferrari to hype up then disappoint.

I count at least fifteen HP logos on the car, and none of them even bother to match the blue accents scattered about on the Ferrari. Couldn't bend the branding rules for a debut promo opportunity?

Results will matter more in the end regardless of the design, ugly as it is. If Ferrari wins, good on them. If they don't, whatever, they still got HP money.

[RACECAR]

To me, its somehow both not at all impressive but not offensive either. It just...exists.

 

[Blitz24]

Meanwhile, here is the AT RB livery.

 

[ScottPuss20]

I still find it hard to believe that this event exists.

 

[PaMu1337]

Meanwhile, here is the AT RB livery.

I think it looks really cool

As opposed to the Ferrari which is a horrid abomination of mismatched colors

A nice mix of '97 Lola and '99 Williams.

 

[DG_Silva]

See, now I like that RB CRAP better than the original colour scheme - I think because 1, it's so unusual and 2, there's so much going on, that the white stripe down the side which makes the original livery look so bad actually works.

I would have just carried that gradiant across to the bull itself, rather than the horrible chrome, but otherwise looks good.

 

[Touring Mars]

Yep, I can see 15 hp logos on the car as well.

 

[Veinz]

That RB livery looks cool. However it does slightly annoy me that the teams go so hard with the beach themes, meanwhile they drive around a parking lot in the middle of the suburbs.

I definitely do not like the placement of the HP logo on the engine cover. It's worse than that green mission winnow garbage.

If it was situated a touch further west they could have gone with swomp themes instead.

That hash tag sounds either like blowing a raspberry at the end or the admin had a stroke half way through typing.

Miami GP?

OK. I'm old. The @ not the #. Visacash

 

[Blitz24]

I blame corporate for the stupid handle.

 

[Touring Mars]

To be fair to Ferrari, if anyone can think of a cheaper way of adding 15 hp to an F1 car, I'd like to hear it.

 

[RACECAR]

What a minute: Isn't Hewlett Parkard also on the Mercedes too? Does this mean they've jumped teams?

 

[MagpieRacer]

Can't believe it's taken days to see this joke.

 

[Liquid]

15 hp

Praying for an engine problem for Ferrari so that this joke can work.
