Ferrari has unveiled a new livery that will be used throughout the
upcoming Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend. Next weekend, F1 will return
to the Nevada city for the first time in 41 years however on this
occasion, it will compete down the famous Las Vegas strip. It marks
the third race held in the United States after trips to Miami,
Florida and Austin, Texas earlier this year. Ferrari will sport a
fresh colour scheme for the event which has roots back to the USA’s
first ‘golden age’ with F1 when 19 Grands Prix were held in the
country from 1976 to 1984. Ferrari’s success during that period
included Niki Lauda’s titles in 1975 and 1977, as well as a victory
at Watkins Glen in 1975. It also won on American soil with Carlos
Reutemann and Clay Regazzoni. The Italian squad described that “in
those days, there was a lot of white alongside the red in the
Ferrari livery. “This year, for the return to Las Vegas, the
Scuderia decided to reprise it, producing an entirely red and
white-only livery for the SF-23.” Ferrari enters the race weekend
around the Las Vegas street circuit hoping to repeat its
performance from the Singapore event earlier this season. It marks
the only occasion that Red Bull has been defeated so far, with
Carlos Sainz securing his second victory in F1. The Grand Prix in
Las Vegas will have a different schedule to normal weekends, as it
hosts F1’s first Saturday race for almost 40 years.
