What was all this nonsense about there being too much white in the livery?, I just caught the headline somewhere...

Probably someone seeing that sketch of what the livery "could look like" and not realizing it was just a guess.

Someone who doesn't know about Marlboro, obviously.

There was talk that they could go retro with the livery design. It probably came from there.
 
Wonder if they would be going back to the old white on red "barcode" thing they had on the back of the late 00's F1 cars, like the F2007?

No. The bar code was in lieu of a Marlboro logo. Although the name never appeared, it became synonymous with the brand and was effectively tobacco advertising, which is largely banned.
 
Not always 100% representative of the car livery itself, but videos on the Ferrari website of the seat fittings seem to show new overalls for Vettel and Raikkonen. Definitely more white and green visible on those...

There's a good split of white and red, but I don't think the white is in the right places. Looks quite ungainly.
 
I'm glad it has been freshened up, but it just feels very busy at the moment. Like 4 different designers made a change to existing livery, and then all those changes were brought together.
 
With the white it looks like the driver sits in a bathtub :lol:

I think adding the white is good, it just needs to be in different areas or maybe more on the nose and sidepods but it's pretty good to be fair.
 
Yeah, the more I'm looking at this, the less I'm liking it. Doesn't compliment the shape of the car at all.
