Ferrari 2016 F1 Car Launch.

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

As far as I'm aware it was a straightforward sponsorship agreement last year, presumably now that he has his own team Gene Haas no longer feels the need to put his logo on the Ferrari.

As for the new car, I'm intrigued by the dip behind that winglet near the camera mount on the top of the airbox. Have we seen something like that before?

VJM08 had a dip like that but didn't have the horizontal aero bit. It's not exactly the same but no having a flush airbox in general is a strange trait, not sure what gamins would come from it. Could be the nature of the new engine set up.

Here's another change, removing the last part I dislike about the livery:

Maybe you could put a 1970s-style number in the space you left vacant.

Although I do think that the car needs a Scuderia Ferrari logo somewhere.

I've never been a fan of that not so subtle Marlboro logo if I'm honest. I think the Ferrari shield is all that it needs, the scuderia logo just looks awkward IMO.

This is the last one I promise! I just cleaned it up a bit more. Got rid of the white stripes on the rear wing end plate, and got rid of some sponsors to give it a cleaner look, more old school Ferrari style.

I still reckon that a bold black number in a circle would go perfectly on the engine cover.

Yeah you might be right, I just prefer the clean look lol.

Edit. Ok, you got me thinking, and I couldn't help myself, so I gave it a go. I didn't want the white part to get too cluttered, so I moved the Alfa logo back to its original place. What do you think @prisonermonkeys?

If you can do it so well, who the heck have they hired to do their livery design and why do they get paid for it and you don't?!

Where the actual livery is a mess of ideas and shapes, your's makes it look utterly stunning.

The simple answer is he or us is not restricted by anything in our design, they are. Obviously whoever designed it was told to make sure the Marlboro design was as clear as possible without actually being obvious, and the white along the bottom is presumably because the sponsors along there agreed/paid to be seen as black on white, and they can't change it.

It's not the elements they have to include that's the problem, it's the way they've been implemented.

The black ring that sits beneath the white on the engine cover, for instance. It looks amateur, because it doesn't flow or add anything interesting to the livery.

Don't get me wrong I think it looks pretty poor as well but there is likely a reason the designer did it that way, and it wouldn't have been free choice I'd bet.

Is it just me, or does Sergio Marchionne look like the guy in the Fiat ad who goes to take the little blue pill, only to miss and have it fall into the petrol tank of a Fiat 500?

No, he doesn't... although Arrivabene does a little...

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Arrivabene; that's who I was thinking of.

 

[lxmmy]

Cheeky of Mercedes.

 

[mister dog]

Looks like its part of a circus to me.

Whoever is doing Mercedes's Social Media, give that man a raise.

No, he doesn't... although Arrivabene does a little...

This livery reminds me of so many things...

GIVE ME THE MONEY!

Suspiciously, there is a lot of Guy Fieri in there

 

[nascarfan1400]

I am quite satisfied with that livery. Loving the white.

2017 Kimi replacement but shhh. Ferrari don't want too many people knowing.

Livery looks good out on track, really liking the white.
