Celebrating Special Liveries in Formula 1 History: Ferrari’s Blue Livery for the 2024 Miami Grand Prix
The Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix is just around the corner, and Ferrari is gearing up to make a statement with a special blue livery for the event at the Miami Circuit. One-off liveries have always been a part of Formula 1, with teams using them to mark special occasions or partnerships. Ferrari’s decision to go blue for the Miami Grand Prix is a nod to their history, as they used a similar livery back in 1964 after a fallout with the FIA.
As we look forward to the exciting race in Miami, let’s take a trip down memory lane and revisit some of the best one-off liveries in Formula 1 history. Red Bull Racing made a splash at the 2005 Monaco Grand Prix with a lava-themed livery promoting Star Wars, complete with pit crew dressed as stormtroopers. Mercedes AMG celebrated their 200th F1 race at the 2019 German Grand Prix with a special white-fronted livery, but the weekend didn’t go as planned for the team.
Scuderia Ferrari wowed fans at the 2020 Tuscan Grand Prix with a stunning one-off livery to mark their 1,000th Grand Prix race. And Red Bull Racing once again stole the show at the 2007 British Grand Prix with a charity campaign that allowed fans to have their faces featured on the car in exchange for a donation.
In other news, Sports Brief also delved into the potential impact of the proposed changes to the F1 points system for 2025, particularly regarding backmarkers. As we gear up for the Miami Grand Prix and look back at some of the best one-off liveries in F1 history, the excitement and anticipation for the race continue to build. Stay tuned for more updates on this thrilling event!
