So that'll make them easier to spot, alongside the blue Alpines and blue Williams

This will be a splash of Blue I'd imagine rather than a full blue livery. Would be cool to see a proper nod to the old NART livery smile

Probably similar to what they did on Monza last year, but with blue instead of yellow. Something like this maybe? (please excuse the piss-poor edit)

I think the NART colour scheme would look smart as hell !

I've always hoped they would do this again. Needs to be done properly though - no red at all.

Ferrari ran a special US white and blue livery for the final two races of the 1964 season when John Surtees won the world championship.
Scuderia Ferrari didn’t run a special livery in those two races, the cars were actually entered by NART, as Enzo was having a hissy fit over the CSI's refusal to accept that the 250LM was just a slightly modified 250GTO!

Admittedly, the NART team used the same cars, drivers, mechanics and management as the works team, but apart from that it wasn't a Scuderia Ferrari entry, honest Guv.

Lotus did something similar in 1971 -

I wonder if the rumoured HP sponsorship will be announced at Miami. Only HP have a very blue logo.

Love a blue Ferrari, have had a couple in TDF.

Blu Sera Metallizzato would look particularly good on the F1 cars.

That would be cool, but will they be allowed to change livery so drastically for a single race. F1 management may not agree to it.

Other teams have run different liveries so why not Ferrari?

Yes, livery changes are fine, a team can get a new big sponsor and change colours. I believe the rule is about both cars having the same livery (remember BAR wanting to run one car in 555 and one in Lucky Strike)

Something to look forward to seeing (in lieu of any racing at the front).
