As announced on Tuesday, Ferrari will unveil a special one-off livery at next week’s Miami Grand Prix that will feature hues of blue commemorating the 70th anniversary of the legendary Italian manufacturer’s presence in North America.

As a preview, Ferrari has just released a sample of the vibrant Azzuro La Plata-colored team kit that Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz will rock in Florida.

The lighter shade of blue is a nod to Ferrari icon Alberto Ascari who raced during his championship winning seasons with the Scuderia in 1952 and 1953 with a light blue shirt and helmet; while the Italian outfit's mechanics also typically wore light blue overalls back in the day.

Get ready to witness speed, style, and celebration in Miami!

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
