Ferrari fans BEG for Newey after team reveal shock change

Ferrari fans may be getting a little impatient following the announcement that Adrian Newey will be leaving Red Bull in the early stages of 2025.

The Maranello-based outfit have recently become front-runners to secure the signature of Formula 1's most successful designer, but it's another deal that is causing quite a stir.

The newly-named Scuderia Ferrari HP unveiled a record-equalling title sponsorship deal with technology company Hewlett Packard last month, worth around £400 million across five seasons.

With that announcement came the exciting news that the team would don a blue-based livery for the upcoming Miami Grand Prix, presumably to celebrate the new sponsorship given that HP's logo features a very prominent blue colour.

While Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz's all-blue race suits gave fans hope that Ferrari may run an all-blue livery, as they did once before way back in 1964, the end result has caused quite a storm on social media.

Ferrari have unveiled a new livery

F1 Twitter rip into 'underwhelming' announcement

F1 fans may be getting flashbacks to Alpine's rather underwhelming 'pink' livery that they promised at the start of the 2024 season, with Ferrari's new look for Miami not exactly setting the world alight.

Although there are blue elements on the car, including some rather garish new wheels, teases earlier in the week had suggested it would be almost entirely blue.

In typical social media style, fans ridiculed the new design on X, formerly Twitter, with one user proclaiming the livery was 'very underwhelming', and another saying the car 'looked terrible'.

Some Ferrari fans had been hoping for a different kind of announcement, on a day when Red Bull had officially confirmed Newey's departure from the team after 18 years.

Several users simply replied 'Announce Newey'.
