'Ferrari develops bold livery for 2025 F1 season'
Ferrari will drive with a darker shade of red in 2025 than in recent seasons. According to Autoracer.it, Ferrari will ramp up its creativity with the 2025 livery, making the use of a new colour possible.
According to the Italian website, Ferrari will travel to London with a different livery than what we have seen from the team in recent seasons. It would be darker red than the paint job the Italian marquee has displayed on its previous two cars. Despite the fact that the tone of the red colour chosen by the Scuderia would not be as dark as the SF1000's special livery to commemorate Ferrari's 1000th Grand Prix at Mugello. It would, however, be a 'bold' design.
Ferrari's red livery
In the last year of the regulations, the weight of the car would be less of an issue for Ferrari. At the start of the new regulations introduced in 2022, many teams struggled to be on the minimum weight. As a result, some teams chose to skimp on the paint jobs for their cars, choosing to go with the original carbon colour of the chassis. In 2025, this may not be necessary, especially since the FIA has chosen to increase the cars' minimum weight from 798 kg to 800 kg.
The base for the Ferrari livery is red, which is no surprise. Nevertheless, the tone of red and the accents on the car vary from year to year. The SF1000's unique livery was only used once, but a darker red than the original Ferrari tone has often been used by the Italian team as of late. In fact, since 2019, for instance, the team has been using a darker red than in previous years. During Sebastian Vettel's time, his Ferrari was a lighter shade of red and also featured white accents on the car.
Ferrari's new car will be presented at F1 75, the event commemorating Formula 1's 75th year, in London. The car's new livery will be shown there, after which, the very next day, Ferrari will also unveil their actual contender for the 2025 season, which will be driven by Charles Leclerc and its new driver, Lewis Hamilton, at the Scuderia's now traditional shakedown at Fiorano.
