Ferrari brings back the blue as drivers reveal Miami GP race suits

Ferrari is bringing back the blue for this weekend’s Miami Grand Prix, with the Scuderia teasing its vibrant one-off color palette that promises to stand out on the streets of Magic City.

In a slick social media reveal, Ferrari showcased Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton in striking new white and blue race suits that pay homage to the Italian outfit’s legacy as well as to its title sponsor HP, whose corporate blue plays a central visual role.

While the actual SF-25 livery remains under wraps, the race suits hint strongly at a broader aesthetic shift for this weekend’s race.

It’s not the first time Ferrari have flirted with blue in Miami – last year’s Grand Prix featured subtle azure elements in their car and driver attire – but this time, the blue is front and center.

For the House of Maranello, the visual shake-up is more than just style – it’s a chance to reset a frustrating season.

Style Meets Substance in a Crucial Weekend for the Scuderia

Ferrari heads to Miami under growing pressure. After five rounds, the team sits a distant fourth in the Constructors’ standings, 110 points behind early pace-setters McLaren.

Charles Leclerc leads the team’s efforts in fifth place in the Drivers’ championship, with but a single podium to his name, but trails leader Oscar Piastri by 52 points.

Meanwhile, seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton continues to battle growing pains in his debut season with the Scuderia, and currently sits seventh in the standings, 16 points behind his teammate.

The blue and white suits – eye-catching as they may be – also symbolize a deeper call for change, both visually and competitively. Ferrari's fanbase, hungry for a title challenge, will hope the team’s Miami makeover comes with a sharp uptick in performance on track.

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.
