Ferrari rediscovers two colors that are part of tradition even if less well-known than red, yellow and black. These are the blue La Plata and the blue Dino
As anticipated last week, in the next Miami Grand Prix, scheduled for Sunday on the Florida street track, the Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz will have a particular livery. The red color will however remain predominant – that is, it will not be entirely light blue or blue – as some fundamentalist fans had feared.
Yesterday, May 1st, the house in Maranello he underlined that the one in the United States will be a special event, “a page to remember” in the history of the team, which rediscovers two colors that are part of tradition although less well known than red, yellow and black. It deals with of Azzurro La Plata and Azzurro Dino.
The shades will be present on the hull of the SF-24 facesbles on the wings, on the engine cover, on the halo, on the rear-view mirrors, on the race numbers and, in a historical reference that could not be missing, also on the rims, as it was on Ferrari’s Formula 1 cars in the 1960s. The SF-24 of Miami will partly recall the Ferraris that were fielded in single-seater and covered-wheel races by Luigi Chinetti’s North American Racing Team. Drivers Leclerc and Sainz will also wear a special uniform, predominantly La Plata Blue, including overalls, shoes, gloves and helmet, with inserts in Dino Blue (and the wall, on Sunday, will have the same color uniform).
Meanwhile, a new sponsor is also announced: «This race also marks the beginning of the collaboration with HP, our new sponsor title partner — underlines team principal Fred Vasseur — with whom we share many values.” The dominant Hewlett-Packard logo, which debuts on the single-seaters and other team equipment from this race, goes perfectly with the theme chosen by the Maranello company for the week in Miami.
