Well if haas can do a 'russian' flag, then ferrari can do the Italian

The back of the car is a wine colour like they had for the 1,000th GP last year. And the green also! Not liking it so far but will wait to see it on track to fully judge.

Have they made the Ferrari look so bad with that paint job on purpose to highlight Misson Winnow and to distract from any new bits?

How they get away with the Mission Winnow 'sponsorship' is beyond me

This, believe it or not, was also a Marlboro logo. To say it it wasn't is to say that Haas are not racing in Russian colours this year.

The Shell Motorsport Twitter account shared photos of the car totally devoid of Mission Winnow stickers.

That looks much better.

Looks a mess with the green, looks a bit better without.

Not sure about the matt finish - are all the cars like that now? Miss seeing the uber-shiny bodywork on the grid, and then contrasting that with how dirty they were at the end of the race.

So people, what's your favourite livery? Alpine is my favourite.

Aston. And also the Merc!

^ don't miss the grid girls at all. The world has moved on.

As far as I'm aware, Philip Morris owns, or used to, the space on the Ferrari's. So to sponsor and put your logo on it, you buy the space off Morris as opposed to Ferrari.
Someone will correct me if I'm wrong

That makes more sense. Would not be surprised if similar green screen effects made it onto the broadcast — F1 already overlay virtual track-side ads for F1Play and occasionally some other brands.

The Alpine and the Williams for me.
The Alpha Tauri is not bad either.
All the test are boring

Might be nice overall without the dash of bright green

I like the green. I'd make it even brighter. Different logo or blob or something as well

I really like the dark red. The special dark livery they used last year was class and I’m not surprised they tried to use it agin this year. But they ended up just shoehorning it onto an otherwise normal livery.

The green MW sponsorship is really shyte. I wonder if they’ll change it before the season starts.

I don't really like the burgundy red at the back. It's like they had some leftover paint from last year and decided to use it. As for the green paint, looks like it was bought in the Italian equivalent of Woodies

The paint at the back is the same colour as the 125S the very first Ferrari F1 car. So I would say either this year or maybe next year that Ferrari might be changing back to that colour. Who knows only them.

Testing tomorrow, it will be interesting to see how it pans out with all the changes.

Vettel must be feeling the pressure to outperform Stroll. Also curious to see how Sainz goes against the other Ferrari

I very much doubt it.
