Ferrari Two Ways

Personal Commentary. 

I have noticed a gain in followers and readers over my previous post. Thank you for stopping by! :) I know my F1 posts can be pretty amateur at times but I hope it is entertaining enough for you guys to enjoy reading my views on current F1 issues. I welcome differences of opinions so do feel free to share your objections over my post and I would be happy to reply you guys on my agreement or disagreement. I will be busy in the next few days so please do be patient on receiving a reply. I am trying my best to keep all of you updated in all my social media sites. I feel extremely guilty for posting photos on Instagram without replying any of my followers back. Trust me, I miss those days when I would be as free as a bird to have a good deal of time to answer everyone. That time will be back pretty soon so just give me a few more days and I promise that I will reply everyone back. :D


Two Ferrari car launches happened this morning/afternoon, the principal Italian racing team removed the covers of their new machine in the Ferrari factory at Maranello after a brand new livery has once again been spotted at Hinwil, Switzerland.

Sauber seems to be one of those prevailing F1 teams to have the most extreme livery changes. They literally have 4/7 (red, yellow, green, blue) colours of the rainbow right from the very beginning of their F1 involvement. I have read on motorsport.com some days back on the possible colour change of livery for the Swiss team but it did not cross my mind that it could turn out to be true because the team posted the countdown with the familiar grey of the C32 and C33. The two colours bring us back to the Petronas sponsored era in some ways. The cars from 1997 to 2005 had a darker blue and way less yellow as compared to the current C34. When they said the team is set for a blue and yellow, I thought the car would have an equal balance of the two colours. Personally, I feel like the car got the colour inspiration from Marcus Ericsson's national flag but at the same time having some yellow set aside for Felipe Nasr's Brazilian flag along with the sponsor that comes along with it, Banco do Brasil. When I saw the C34 on Twitter, my first impression was the car has the nose of the Williams FW36 and the blue base colour of the FW35 before they received the Martini sponsorship. The C34 is definitely a looker.

Other than the 'toned makeover', the Ferrari SF15T looks mostly the same as the previous F14T. There is less black on the livery this time round which is a gratifying sight to see (I can never understand why a Ferrari would incorporate black as part of its livery even if the colour may evoke aggression and mystery). The slimmer SF15T is supposedly more technically advantaged than the F14T. One thing's certain, the 2015 contender will no longer have a part time job of vacuuming any of the dust and debris off the race tracks this season! xD
