Since when Ferrari announced a special livery for the GP Miami 2024, designed to celebrate 70 years of the Prancing Horse in the United States, curiosity grew more and more as the days went by. The Scuderia di Maranello itself fueled it, providing clues as the moment of unveiling approached, scheduled for today in Florida. An opportunity to also launch the new partnership with the title sponsor HP. The wait is finally over and these are the colors with which the SF-24s of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz will compete in Miami.
Double shade of blue in addition to the classic red
As announced, I’m the one to peep out the two colors Azzurro Dino and Azzurro La Plata, shades that have often been protagonists in Ferrari’s past. The reference is in fact to the Ferraris that were fielded by the North American Racing Team (NART) particularly in the 1960s. Inserted inside the traditional red, the two colors alternate on the spoilers, on the halo, on the mirrors, along the bodywork and even the wheel covers are blue for the occasion. It then makes a beautiful display on the bonnet the HP logo of the new title sponsor, then replicated in a small way in different areas of the car including the two spoilers – where it brings with it a small white stripe which we will probably see confirmed for the rest of the season – and the halo. As already revealed, the uniforms and tracksuits will also change color, with the former in La Plata light blue and the latter in Dino light blue.
They will also be present in Miami two Ferrari 296 GTS Assetto Fiorano, also blue, to celebrate the conclusion of the International Cavalcade organized along the roads of Tennessee and Florida. In addition to being available to the drivers, on Sunday they will open the Ferrari Parade which will be held on the circuit with Marc Gené and Antonio Giovinazzi at the wheel.
Vasseur: “The partnership with HP will bring great benefits”
Speaking about the start of the partnership with the American company, whose blue logo fits well into the special livery designed for the Miami GP, the Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur he has declared: “The GP Miami will be a page to remember in the history of our team. In Florida we will celebrate our company through a special livery that allows us to rediscover two colors that are part of our tradition. For the team, this race also marks the beginning of the collaboration with HP, our new title partner“.
The French manager then underlined the common objectives of the two companies: “Scuderia Ferrari and HP share many values, including a winning spirit and a clear direction of thought which are the basis of our partnership. Our two companies are united by the constant pursuit of excellence and technological innovation. Like our team, HP believes in empowering each member of the organization to be the best they can be. Likewise, we believe in the need to nurture talent, training and empowering people as we do with our Driver Academy. With many elements in common, we are convinced that the title partnership with HP will bring great benefits to both brands and I can’t wait to start working together“.
