yellow ferrari perhaps?

An interesting thought has just come to me. I was reading the new F1 Racing mag before and i saw a piccie of an old mclaren in an alternative livery (1987 i think i was or something) and instead of having the marlboro red it had the marlboro light's yellow! lol, this took me back at first and then i thought about the modern day. what if ferrari (for a one off) painted their car yellow? i mean its entirely possible...ferrari pit crews always used to wear the bright yellow jackets, the badge is yellow and ferrari sell alot of yellow road cars.

do you think this could actually happen? it'd definitely be interesting if it did, lol.

Circuit Thermalito

Liverpool Waterfront Circuit (WIP)

Ferrari's original house colour was yellow, so it would be sensible for them to change from Rosso Corsa.

don't you mean Day glo orange? plz, the last "proper ferrari red" we had was 1996.

Also Ferrari have run in a yellow before iirc and they have certainly run in blue and white in a one off GP in the 1960s.

For me the proper Ferrari red colour were these, also you can compare the difference in red between the new order and the old guard

Well, the first time i saw a yellow enzo, it looked so much amazing than the red one, an a red enzo is a red enzo........., i would like to see a yellow f-1 ferrari, i don't think it would be that bad..., it wouldn't nbe the same "jordan yellow", would it?

cheers

The "yellow" McLaren was associated with the Marlboro Lights cigarettes. It was not yellow, but gold and, if I'm not wrong, the pilot was Keke Rosberg in the Portugal GP of 1986.
Ferrari yellow painted F.1 were the ones run by Ecurie Ecosse and used usually by Belgian pilots. The blue and white ones where run by NART because officially Ferrari deserted the last two races of the 1964 WC because the 250 GTO model was not omologated by the Federation.

it was yellow, and not gold

believe me... live footage I have looks like everything but yellow... and I remember an interview where it was called gold.

It was yellow, it was supposed to match the colour of the local Malboro fag packets.

A very long time ago, even by my standards, there was colour coding for racing cars in international events. France had Blue, Britain had Dark Green and Italy had Red. That is one of the reasons Ferrari have tended to stay loyal to the national pride of the Tifosi. Does anyone know what other country's colours were?

iirc germany had silver... or grey. i'm not sure though, could be wrong

silver, hence the "Silver Arrows" (Mercedes).

and "British Racing Green".

there was a section about this in a Top Gear episode a few months ago, where Richard Hammond explained it.

you are right Muks - didnt Ireland host a race on behalf of the UK, and in return, Britain raced in Green.

Due to the voting system in Germany, Governments are always made up of coalitions of different parties. At the last election, an almost unprecidented result saw the CDU/CSU (rough equivilant of the Conservatives) go into Government with the SPD (rough equivilant of Labour)

Yep, that is exactly why, and it's stayed that way ever since. Not sure why - maybe GB won the race, and felt the colour was lucky.
