New livery for the Ferrari F1-75
The F1-75’s livery will have various touches of yellow, with black inserts. The changes, which are only planned for this race, will be visible on the front wing, around the Halo, on the engine cover and on the rear wing. In this last part there is also the logo with the famous “F lunga” in yellow on a black background and the same goes for the drivers’ racing suits.
The truth is that this special decoration has left many fans a little cold, who they expected the car to be decorated entirely in yellowjust like the competition team clothing.
Regardless of that, yellow has always been part of the Maranello brand’s DNA, alongside the quintessential Ferrari red. At the beginning of the 20th century, the then International Association of Automobile Clubs established red as the official color of Italian racing cars and therefore when Enzo Ferrari created the Scuderia, under whose banner he entered the Alfa Romeos, he had to follow him.
Yellow is therefore the second color of the Maranello brand and the founder immediately chose it as part of the emblem he designed after the family of the famous Italian war hero Francesco Barracca asked him to bring the reason for the Prancing Horse.
Wrote: «El Cavallino was and has continued to be black. I added the canary yellow background, which is the color of Modena». The emblem made its debut on the team’s Alfa Romeos at the 1932 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps and brought good luck, as it won with Antonio Brivio and Eugenio Siena. Since then, it appears on Ferrari cars.
