[MustangManiac]

So much for there not being enough sponsors in F1, it's just that they are all on the Ferrari

 

[Christian_C]

Yeah... that looks awful.

 

[VXR]

I don't think I'd bother with an exact replica on Forza, cause I know full well I could take the required elements of the car and do them better than this. It's terrible.

 

[Samus]

The least subliminal it's been.

 

[noshog]

I often wished Ferrari would do something different with their livery....Now I wish I hadn't

 

[Dennisch]

I don't mind the colour scheme at all. It's still that front that turns the F1 Ferrari into a red blegh.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

The least subliminal it's been.

The entire car is painted like the cigarette packets. So cool.

Upside-down cigarette packets.

 

[TheElbows]

I've never been particularly enamored with the Ferrari standard livery, so this is fine for me...whatever.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

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?

It looks very retro to me, the white around the seat makes me think of the '76

The concept isn't bad, I just think that Ferrari took it too far. There's all that white around the bargeboard, where the front monocoque assembly joins the cockipt, which is just unnecessary.

Thought it look like crap till I seen this!

A proper studio-based shot in profile:

It doesn't look too bad, but I still maintain that it's unnecessarily busy. Get rid of the white band around the bottom, and it would be considerably better.

 

[IforceV8]

I dont see the Haas logo.

Haas isn't supplying Ferrari.

It would look fantastic if Marlboro was still allowed to sponsor. Sadly that's a gone era with the bans on tobacco advertising in most counties (cigarettes are harmful products though, which justifies the ban).

My comment was a joke because of certain comments, we should all know it's a retro throw back. It even has the Italian flag accents.

 

[IforceV8]

Haas isn't supplying Ferrari.

They did last year, Ferrari even left the space blank were the logo was too, right between infor and SKF.

Kinda hard to see but here is Abu Dhabi last year.

It seems odd with all of the ties between Haas and Ferrari that the logo has been removed on the new car.

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?

I agree, and add to that red instead of the black side head protection where the Hublot logo is, and white instead of the red spine and black back part of the engine cover.

Edit, this is what I had in mind, ignore the poor photoshop effort, it at least gives you an idea of what I'm talking about.

Almost perfect. Just change the front wing endplates from white to red and it's perfect.

How's this?

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Nailed it.

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.

Cheers mate. I wouldn't say I did it so well, I'm pretty poor at image editing, but I do have an eye for aesthetics, partly due to being a spray painter by trade.

I'm also a big Ferrari fan, and have a genuine passion for the team's history, which I think helps with these things.

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

 

[VXR]

You should now add Marlboro for the final two finger salute to Ferrari and the FIA.

I think they should honour Modena with an all yellow car at some point.

Haha I actually did consider adding Marlboro to that, to give it more of an early 2000's livery flavour, but I like the clean look. Actually, my favourite Ferrari colour combo is the 90's all red body with black wings and wheels. I'd love it if they brought that back.

I agree on the yellow, but not for a whole season. It'd be cool if they showed up at the Italian GP with all yellow cars.

 

[GTPorsche]

I dont see the Haas logo.

That was a one-year deal.
