Maybe with the influx of big sponsor money and investment, not to mention even more eyes on them, Ferrari is putting more effort into it's marketing.
They said they "needed Hamilton" at this time... So I look forward to see how they market that.
Ferrari has had enough money to do whatever marketing they want at any point in their modern history.PlatinumZealot wrote: β15 Jan 2025, 02:16Maybe with the influx of big sponsor money and investment, not to mention even more eyes on them, Ferrari is putting more effort into it's marketing.

As long as it's black paint because it looks much better than the disgusting exposed carbon teams have to go for because of the weight issues. Alpine of all teams seem to have a fully pink and blue car without any exposed carbon this year, so it looks quite promising, but that could change throughout the season for all teams.PlatinumZealot wrote: β16 Jan 2025, 01:34If the cake is a hint the livery will be dark crimson red with much black and white lines... Awesome stuff!
Do you think it might be the most coverage of black ever seen on a Ferrari F1 car?

The car would look great in the shade of this cake, not even joking.
With global warming doing its thing, a lot of places which got snowy in winter before, donβt stay cold enough for more than a week now.FW17 wrote: β17 Jan 2025, 07:55https://media.formula1.com/image/upload ... e1203fe152
Fiarano in 2012. Wonder what the conditions are currently for the LH test.

Can you imagine how disappointing it would be to have to drive that ugly thing? Who would have that as a poster?PlatinumZealot wrote: β17 Jan 2025, 11:40Alonso at Ferrari, the legend that never was.FW17 wrote: β17 Jan 2025, 07:55https://media.formula1.com/image/upload ... e1203fe152

I think Alonso still remains a legend, only without the stats to back it up.PlatinumZealot wrote: β17 Jan 2025, 11:40Alonso at Ferrari, the legend that never was.FW17 wrote: β17 Jan 2025, 07:55https://media.formula1.com/image/upload ... e1203fe152

Alonso in 2012 was probably one of the top 10-15 best driver seasons ever. I really do not think it's an exaggeration to say the Ferrari was no more than 3rd best car that year, and probably more like 4th best overall, unless you're the type who still thinks Kimi Raikkonen was a top driver(and thus achieved all that Lotus could do), despite never proving better than Massa, and seeing how Alonso absolutely thrashed him in the same car just two years later.Emag wrote: β17 Jan 2025, 12:43I think Alonso still remains a legend, only without the stats to back it up.PlatinumZealot wrote: β17 Jan 2025, 11:40Alonso at Ferrari, the legend that never was.FW17 wrote: β17 Jan 2025, 07:55https://media.formula1.com/image/upload ... e1203fe152

A shame. Could sit here and talk about how much of his bad career paths were self-inflicted, but I still donβt think he deserved to drive the cars he got to drive from 2014 and onwards.
Aston somehow lucked into a competitive car in 2023 to give him a chance to show what he is made of, but sadly I donβt see another spike happening before age does its thing and he retires.
He came close with Ferrari though, twice. I feel like he deserved 2012, but 2010 was painful to be lost on the last race of the season too.
