Ferrari reveals blueprint-inspired livery for United States GP

Ferrari will bring a one-off, blueprint-inspired design to the United States Grand Prix this weekend, turning attention to the ideas and engineering behind its Formula 1 cars. The livery was developed with title sponsor HP and draws on sketches and technical drawings that are usually concealed beneath the finished bodywork.

The team says the design reflects the process of turning an initial idea into a car. Its graphics are intended as a tribute to the designers, engineers and technicians whose work contributes to performance, rather than simply a change of appearance for the race.

Ferrari joins a growing list of Austin liveries

Ferrari is among several teams bringing a special design to the event at the Circuit of the Americas. Mercedes, Haas and Cadillac have also introduced fresh looks for the weekend. Mercedes’ blue-look design for the United States Grand Prix and Cadillac’s Texas-inspired livery are among the other Austin announcements.

This is not Ferrari’s first one-off design of the year. The team also presented a new concept for its home race in Italy last month, adding another special livery to its season.

Ferrari targets a third win of the campaign

The Italian squad arrives in Austin aiming to claim its third victory of the campaign. Ferrari’s most recent win came at Silverstone, leaving the team looking to return to the top step of the podium this weekend.

Lewis Hamilton has won at COTA five times, making him the circuit’s most successful driver. His most recent victory there came in 2017. Team-mate Charles Leclerc has also stood on the top step at the venue, winning the 2024 race.

The new design places the people and process behind Ferrari’s cars at the centre of its Austin identity, as the team prepares for a race where both drivers have previous success. The livery will be used for this weekend’s United States Grand Prix.
