Ferrari unleashes dazzling HP tribute livery for Miami GP

Ferrari has rolled into Miami in style, serving up a fresh splash of color for the SF-25 contender that’s making fans do a double take.

For this weekend’s Miami Grand Prix, the Scuderia has revealed a one-off livery that’s equal parts celebration and statement piece – marking the one-year anniversary of its partnership with tech giant HP.

The Italian outfit is no stranger to giving its signature red a temporary twist, but this time? They've cranked the volume up a notch.

The stage was set on Wednesday afternoon when Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc showcased their crisp white and blue race suits - instantly signaling that Ferrari had something bold up its sleeve.

The new livery follows suit – pun intended: the front and rear wings are boldly split between HP’s signature white and blue colors, while those same shades drape across the engine cover.

Still, Ferrari’s trademark red remains dominant, ensuring a nod to the past while embracing a vibrant, modern twist.

But the livery isn’t just for show – it’s part of a bigger weekend push, as Ferrari aims to put itself back in the fight in what has so far been a disappointing campaign for the Scuderia.

Vasseur’s Vision: Ready to Race and Celebrate

“After several days spent in Maranello analysing the data acquired during the first triple-header of the season, we are ready to get back on track in Miami,” said Ferrari Team Principal Frederic Vasseur.

“In many ways it’s a unique race and over this weekend in Florida, we will also be celebrating the first anniversary of our partnership with title sponsor, HP.”

With Miami being the season’s second Sprint weekend, the stakes are sky-high. Vasseur’s crew has been burning the midnight oil to make sure the SF-25 is primed for battle.

“It’s the second Sprint weekend of the season and we have prepared thoroughly for it in the factory, to deal with only having one hour of free practice before heading straight into qualifying for Saturday’s Sprint race,” Vasseur explained.

“This means that the work on the simulator and in preparatory briefings is even more important than usual. We want to continue improving the performance of the SF-25, encouraged by the good progress seen in the Bahrain and Jeddah races.”

With a head-turning livery, a data-driven approach, and a nod to history, Ferrari is making it clear: the streets of Miami are not just for showing up – they’re for making a statement.

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.
