Hamilton Reveals Bold New Look as Ferrari Debuts Miami GP Livery, Departing Classic Red Legacy
Ferrari Unveils Bold New Look for Miami Grand Prix, Departing from Iconic Red
Ferrari is set to dazzle at the Miami Grand Prix with a striking departure from their legendary red racing livery. For only the second time this century, the Scuderia will swap their signature red for a white and blue design, celebrating their partnership with sponsor HP. Drivers Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc will sport sleek new racing suits in the fresh color scheme, blending tradition with a modern twist.
A Nod to History
The Miami International Autodrome has seen Ferrari experiment before. Last year, the team donned light blue to honor the 70th anniversary of Ferrari’s U.S. legacy, echoing the Azzuro La Plata worn by 1950s icon Alberto Ascari. This year’s design features bold white and blue accents on the car’s front and rear wings, wheels, and driver suits, while retaining the iconic red base. The Azzuro Dino—a deeper blue linked to Ferrari’s 1970s era—also inspires the palette, paying homage to the team’s storied past.
Hamilton and Leclerc Embrace Change
Hamilton, in his debut season with Ferrari, and teammate Leclerc will debut the new look amid a challenging start to the season. Despite Hamilton’s struggles, team principal Frederic Vasseur remains confident, emphasizing the seven-time champion’s resilience: “His potential is undeniable. We’re focused on solutions, not setbacks.” Leclerc, who secured a podium in Saudi Arabia, aims to build momentum in Miami.
A Legacy of Color
Ferrari’s rare color shifts have always carried meaning. The 2023 Miami livery celebrated the brand’s U.S. heritage, while the 1970s Azzuro Dino honored Enzo Ferrari’s late son. Though red remains central, these changes highlight Ferrari’s ability to blend innovation with tradition.
As the Miami weekend unfolds, all eyes will be on Ferrari’s bold reinvention—a visual spectacle on the track and a testament to their evolving legacy.
