Ferrari announce special livery featuring shades of blue for Miami Grand Prix
Ferrari has announced a special livery for the upcoming race, marking a departure from their iconic red. This one-off design will feature two historic shades of blue: Azzurro La Plata and Azzurro Dino.This temporary departure from the iconic red signifies more than just a new look. It's a nod to Ferrari's deep connection with American motorsport. The lighter shade of blue, Azzurro La Plata, evokes the memory of legendary driver Alberto Ascari, who secured Ferrari's first two world championships in 1952 and 1953. Ascari often wore a blue jersey and helmet, making the color synonymous with his victories.
The deeper shade, Azzurro Dino, adds another layer of history. Used on racing overalls in the 1960s and 70s, it connects to the era of iconic Ferrari models like the Dino 246 and the legendary 312PB. This choice evokes nostalgia for Ferrari's golden age of racing in America.
