What are our initial reactions to the Ferrari F1 car launch?
Hello, everybody, and welcome back to the P1 Podcast with Matt and Tommy. Ferrari. Ferrari car launch. Shall we talk about it? Shall we talk about it, Tommy? Because we are fresh off of a live stream where we just watched the reveal. You know, you're coming into it. Vibey, feeling good? Ferrari, what livery are you going to bring to the table this year? And of course, we all know that HP are still very much prominent as a sponsor at Ferrari. So you don't have the highest of hopes ever. We're just going to dive straight into it, Tommy, because, look, my emotions are high. I want to talk about the livery.
Yeah.
What changes have been made to the Ferrari livery this year?
I want to talk about just what Ferrari are, used to be, and what they're doing now. So the first thoughts on the livery. It's too much white. It's too much white. I'm sorry. It is too much white. I have been a Ferrari fan for a very, very, very long time. And I will say, as a positive... And I think this is what's happened, is that we had a poor one last year, and it's better in terms of if you compare it to last year. It's done better. It's more flowing. It makes a little bit more sense on the car. However... I link red with Ferrari and that white is spilling over ever so slightly, in my opinion, into the identity of Ferrari. And that's that was my initial thing. My initial feeling of that's just not enough of my gorgeous, wonderful Ferrari red for my liking.
And it's as simple as that. I know they have sponsor obligations. I know they have to try and fit that HP in, but that doesn't stop me. They definitely fit it in. Yeah, but that still doesn't stop me as a Ferrari fan to be wanting what Ferrari has always been, which is red.
Yeah, I think it's an absolutely beautiful Alfa Romeo livery is my thoughts on it. I completely, I really, really like it. I think as a composition, it's really well executed, way better than last year with the big, you know, they had that big diagonal stripe on it, didn't they? Yeah. But my feelings are the same as you, really, in terms of just the fact that Ferrari should be red. And there's too much white for a Ferrari. As a Formula One livery for anyone else, I think it's very well done. I like the black wings. I like the way that they've kind of... Yeah, they're always going to try now because this HP logo thing is such a meme. It's so talked about all the time. It shows that they're trying so hard to do something with it.
And it's almost like them admitting, yes, we know it looks bad on the car. We've got this blue logo on our red car and we don't know how to incorporate it.
Yeah, they don't know how to incorporate it. And also they know that it has to stand out. They could, in theory, just do a full red car and plonk a blue sticker on.
Well, they did that, didn't they? Because it actually, HP got announced halfway through 24, didn't it? You know, they'd got the livery already. Then they stuck the HP logo on it.
How does the new Ferrari livery compare to previous years?
I would argue, maybe this is a hot take, but I would argue that it looks better to have an all red car and stick one or two blue logos on it than it would be to have half a white car. Ferrari aren't white, they're red. I don't get Ferrari's obsession.
Back in 1947. No, but as you know, I'm in agreement and I think that that's what I would prefer personally. And I think it would still stand out just as much. But clearly there are many things that we don't understand as Formula One fans to do with sponsor obligations. And also, you know, HP have clearly spent a huge amount of money to be part of the Ferrari sponsorship lineup right at the forefront. and they have a say quite clearly. They have a say very quite clearly because this is why I'm still wearing Ferrari merch from a few years ago where HP doesn't exist because I like this merch because it's just all red.
It's annoying because I'm looking at it again, like all the angles. If I take my this is a Ferrari and what I believe a Ferrari should be, I really, really like it. I actually think it looks really, really well done. But Ferrari should not have that much white.
You don't feel that passionate about the team.
