Light blue is the color that will characterize the Ferraris at the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix. This detail has been understood for several days now, with the Scuderia presenting in the last few hours the clothing it will use for the next race weekend.
Late this morning, the Maranello team revealed the suits that both Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz will wear in Miami. The racing clothes bear the same colors as the clothing worn by Ferrari drivers in the 1960s, recalling those of John Surtees, Lorenzo Bandini, Chris Amon and Niki Lauda.
The blue La Plata and Dino thus once again become protagonists even on the overalls of today's drivers, in a commercial operation that takes the Rossa back in time, trying to exploit a market as important for the Prancing Horse as the US one.

Flavio Manzoni, director of Ferrari's design department, said: “Red is not the only color for Ferrari, there is also blue. Furthermore, blue was also Enzo Ferrari's traditional color, especially azure Enzo Ferrari particularly liked La Plata, because he found it a relaxing color.”
The design of the suits, also made by Puma, follows those commonly used by Leclerc and Sainz this season, but there is a particular element that changes and recalls Ferrari's glorious past: the prancing horse logo.
This is always placed on the left, near the heart, but it is not the one used in racing (the little horse enclosed in the shield), but rather the one used on the nose of road and racing cars. The little horse standing on its hind legs enclosed in a vertical rectangle.
In the back of the suits, in addition to the light blue that forms the basis for them, there is a dark blue horizontal stripe in which the surname of the pilots is placed in white. The Ferrari logo appears again between the driver's neck and shoulder blades, the rectangular one.
In addition to the blue spread entirely on the suits, you can see the white that frames the racing suit on the cuffs and ankles, as well as on the undersuits. Even the hats follow the reference of the tracksuit: all light blue with the rectangular Ferrari logo right in the center of the forehead.
