Are they trying to recreate the 2000-2004 glory days? 'Cause this sucks.

This can't be Ferrari's livery, its Toyota's aborted 2010 livery.

It's only an interim mock-up for promotional purposes. If this was the official livery launch, Ferrari wuld have tipped the media off long in advance. Consequently, only a handful of websites mentioned it. More pictures here:

It's not that bad, basically a 2009 livery with a bit of white added. But I really think the whole front wing needs to be white.

I'd like to see a side view. All that white is making me think of

which is not good!

There's one here. From the side, it's almost identical to a 2009 livery.

I don't find it too awful, to be honest. Preferred last year's, but it's still Ferrari. Maybe they can add some swooping red along the side or something. Something modern and un-Ferrari-like would be nice, I reckon.

I never thought it was ugly.

To be perfectly honest, I don't particularly care what the livery is.

The cars are built to be fast; to be fast, team's need money; if getting money means having a white rear wing at the behest of a sponsor, then so be it.

That Ferrari could be a lot worse anyway.

There's always the option of playing with sponsor's disposal over the bodywork to improve the overall effects. It's not that bad this livery. Not as good as the Marlboro one though.

not bad, just a bit of white on the wings

tc3j3r · Post by **tc3j3r** » 22 Jan 2010, 23:01

I don't like it. Ferrari should either be pure red, or have black wings.

Or the Italian flag...or gold rims...or number 27. Too beautiful though to become true again.

It's not that terrible. In fact, I like the 1993 livery :lol:

Gumby · Post by **Gumby** » 25 Jan 2010, 01:50

I wonder what Enzo would think of the proposed 2010 livery on his beautiful scarlett cars ? Oh - Silly me, Enzo is still trying to haunt those responsible for dumping the original Ferrari Scarlett so many years ago. Tobacco money will do that... Change the colour of things that should be left unchanged :roll:

As for my opinion of a white and red Ferrari... Who cares. Maranello said good-bye to tradition when they painted their cars Marlboro fluoro orange. I think they'd even paint them Shrek green if there was a dollar in it for them

Cheers G

You just read my mind, it looks like the 1970's Mauro Forghieri Ferrari's as well...

I'm on the same page as well. For me the most beautiful Ferrari was the 1994's, with the black wings and the golden wheel. Pure, ageless beauty.

And, for a reason or another, good cars seems to have nice liveries, unlike the late 90's Williams that had atrocious liveries - and performance.

Guzuky · Post by **Guzuky** » 25 Jan 2010, 04:20

We should do a 'Reject Liveries' podium. For me it would be:

3. Honda 2008
2. BAR 1999
1. Williams 1999

Roll the anthems!!

That's right!!, Santander can have white letters over a red base, like they have all of their bank logo's and images around the world.

Sounds like a good thread. Shame I have homework.

Good one and Id agree with your choices except I quite liked the 2008 Honda. Id swap it for the 2001 Prost. That car was the dictionary definition of the word 'dull'

We need somebody to sponsor them and do the all black livery! :shock:

On that same line, I prefer a lot more the 1995 car, with the same livery, golden rims as well, but a low and ultra-sleek body, and much more competitive than the 1994 car.

That is one of the finest looking Grand Prix cars ever made - stunning.

My favourite looking car was the MP4/4

The proposed Lotus livery was pretty vomitous.
Those gold Jordans were a bit perculiar too.

I also think the Toyotas were always ugly.

McLaren generally have nice liveries. They have been obsessive about preserving the brand identity which meant red and white in the Marlboro days and silver, black and red more recently. This has soetimes led to them turning away sponsors who don't fit in. In 1993 they turned down the Sega deal which Williams eventually secured because they did not want the hedgehog gimmick on the side of the cars.

Just realised, this is a fantastic bit of "wrong threadage" by me.

I remember that being featured in a Sonic the Hedgehog yearbook I used to have. It had a page or two dedicated to the 1993 European Grand Prix, since Sega sponsored it, and how Damon Hill finished second. There were also a few pictures of the Williams garage, featuring some guy in a Sonic costume milling about, and a close up of the Sega logo on the car. Actually, now that I think about it, I think that's how I started liking F1...

No idea where the yearbook is now, though.

Senna was presented with a winners trophy of Sonic the Hedgehog in that race, and Autosports headline afterwards was "Senna's Mega Drive"

Apparently every time McLaren won they would paint a picture of a squashed hedgehog on the car...

Agreed on the 1995 Ferrari. It apparently handled well, too
