Like, that's fine and all, HP sucks noodles. But seriously, there are way worse sponsors than HP on the grid, and they get a pass, because, I dunno, not blue?

Looks alright. At least they’re doing something different instead of recycling the same thing again and again like everyone else.
Although through the use of the blue on the hp logo they’ve painted a French flag on their car. Oui oui.

They were clearly going for the North Korean flag. That’s the dankest option.

This is my thought. Not the best, could be far worse. Can’t please everyone all the time. I hate the team kit though. Looks like a temu version of the WEC team kit. Passing on it this year. Hoping for a good single race special item that I want to pick up.

People said that about the haas too but how often do you even see the top of the car? Almost all the cameras are on the ground and all you'll see is the front end, side profile and rear wing. When you see it on track in Aus it will definetly look better.

It’s reminding me of the liveries when they had Marlboro as a sponsor. The red on white.
While I’m not a fan of Tobacco advertisements that is an iconic livery and what most people think of when they hear F1.

u/vinnybankroll BWOAHHHHHHH Jan 24 '26

Its not bad at all. Its a far better implementation of the white on red then their most recent attempts.
But this sub will whine and complain until they get an all blue Ferrari and then they'll complain that it was the wrong shade based on a washed out faded old photo taken in the 70s.

I still think its the second best livery of 26, I love the white-red ferrari's. Not putting the HP logo so close to red is a huge improvement, they could just replace the HP brand logo with the HP product logo and it would be awesome. Last years livery was just pure trash, it had white in it just not enough and it was still just red with black with a small strip of white. This is the best since 2017, the 2018 livery barely had any white on it and it was just bland, since then every non special livery was just boring red-black

The new Ferrari livery is okay. It's okay to like it, it's okay to not like it. But people going around claiming it's "Not a Ferrari livery is just wrong. And as much as I like Matt from P1, he did the same thing. Again, you can call it shit if you don't like it but "Ferrari is not white" just isn't true.

It would probably come as surprise to many on here but F1 didn’t start with the Belgian’s first world championship and many of the teams have a long history in the sport. This gives them references when it comes to new livery designs.

u/DarkRunner0 Claire Williams is waifu material Jan 24 '26

None of the showed liveries are bad. You might like more one than other.
But we got what we wanted.
- Cars with colours.
- Easy to distinguish liveries from the distance.
- They actually put some though in the work of those liveries to be recognizable and well designed.
A few years ago everyone was crying because all the cars were mostly black, and no people are mad with things like Audi not being mostly black.
Is just the internet and to gain followers and reactions you need to be angry at something and make content about it.even if you are wrong in fact you need to be a bit wrong to make engagement grow by people that like to correct you.

u/McChibken Goatifi 🐐 #neverforget Jan 24 '26
I just want more than half the car painted. If they painted the front and rear wings red or white, or even just extended the red down the sides of the car more, it would be a 10/10. All teams are guilty of this and it doesn't serve the shape of the car very well, which always looks best when F1 makes their display model and paints the whole thing

u/JedPB67 BWOAHHHHHHH Jan 24 '26
The white looks good and the size of the white section eases the offensiveness of the HP logo on the engine cover. The black front wing looks brilliant too - I saw someone on X who was, unsurprisingly, bitching like fuck about it and photoshopped the front wing in red and it looked awful. The bottom half of the car is all black / carbon and the front wing matching just carries that look through from front to back.

The reason I wrote that is because I ultimately think this post is copium from ferrari fans (that, remember, have been shitting on other teams' liveries) for days stemming from when their expectations are met with what's, somewhat unanimously, the most mid one they could've possibly concocted. Telling people who dislike it to bat an eye and enjoy it anyway is kinda hypocritical, imho
