Nice or ugly?

I think it's awful - the Vodafone logo just doesn't look right on the sidepod.

Minardi fan · 9 Jan 2002, 21:48 (Ref:196272)

It's horrid.

Nicholas · 9 Jan 2002, 22:05 (Ref:196283)

I don't like it either. Where's the Tic- Tac logo?

facco · 9 Jan 2002, 22:10 (Ref:196290)

13 VODAFONE LOGOS!!!!! Geez.... more than the cavalinhos...

I don't like it, nor the yellow renault

**touringlegend** · 9 Jan 2002, 22:18 (Ref:196295)

Does look weird.

Total-F1 · 9 Jan 2002, 23:18 (Ref:196319)

I think it looks rather spiffing, actually!

Jay · 10 Jan 2002, 03:08 (Ref:196381)

meh....yeah it's disgusting... but it's a sponsor with deep pockets, so I doubt they really care

.

Mr V · 10 Jan 2002, 05:21 (Ref:196393)

bloody awful....starting to look like the '99 williams.

f1manoz · 10 Jan 2002, 10:46 (Ref:196448)

Not the best looking car in the world. And I'd agree that it takes the emphasis off the Marlboro signage. Will Marlboro be happy about that????

But it's obvious that Vodafone have pumped in a serious load of money to have that many stickers on the car.

Tristan · 10 Jan 2002, 11:20 (Ref:196468)

On the sidepod, yep, I can deal with that. Looks OK.

But all over the nosecone?? Bin it.

mjstallard · 10 Jan 2002, 12:09 (Ref:196492)

The Ferrari is slowly slipping to being one of the rankest cars on the grid...shame, cos the actual car shape is quite pretty. Still, as long as no drivers I like are driving it, I don't mind

Maxmil · 10 Jan 2002, 12:31 (Ref:196504)

I voted in the minority, but I do think the white front wing element should go back to red. Also the little bullseyes on the mirrors look dumb.

Gt_R · 10 Jan 2002, 12:47 (Ref:196512)

As a Ferrari fan...i have to say i think that Ferrari's livery sucks. The car is quite pretty in design...but the Vodafone looks out of place...

But to be optimisitic, i don't think this would be the final livery. The using it for testings would help to evaluate how to improve the placement of the different sponsor logos.

paulzinho · 10 Jan 2002, 16:22 (Ref:196593)

I know I said it didn't look too bad in the other thread, well i've changed my mind...ITS AWFUL!!!

Last years car looked much better!

I loved the tic tac stickers as well as Fed Ex but now....eeeeeuuuurrrggghhhhh

The Moon Monkey · 10 Jan 2002, 16:30 (Ref:196603)

any corporate sponsorship (as opposed to trade sponsorship such as Shell) sucks on the Ferrari! Marlboro gaining more space in 1997 was bad enough but now the team seems up for selling all the space on the car...

I am not so naieve to not realise that Ferrari have a choice anymore in obtaining corporate sponsors but the post 97 Ferraris don't seem as pretty to me compared with the previous cars and alot of this is down to the car being decked out in corporate sponsorship.

You'd think they could have done the same thing as they did with the sidepod, with the background in red.

EERO · 10 Jan 2002, 19:29 (Ref:196721)

I have to say I like the white front wing, it recalls the 312B and 312B2 of 1970-1972.

Its the Vodaphone logo that's so hideaous, I cannot imagine it looking good anywhere, let alone of the side of a Ferrari.

The side pod loggo is too large and the red rectangles on the front wings and mirrors are jarring.

Fine, I can live with corporate sponship, but getting nostalgiac about a Tic-Tac decal is ridiculous.

Tristan · 10 Jan 2002, 22:17 (Ref:196798)

The thing I can't stand is the COLOUR. Why must we put up with Malboro-red?? BRING BACK FERRARI BLOOD-RED.

timbo2001 · 11 Jan 2002, 09:41 (Ref:196927)

agreed tristan, the deeper more threatening red. Oh the Vodaphone thing doesn't bother me that much, though i think it would look better elsewhere on the car rather than the sidepods.

Glen · 11 Jan 2002, 10:57 (Ref:196951)

Hey, don't worry - I'm sure Ferrari will be happy to wave bye-bye to all those millions of dollars just to please those F1 fans whose appreciation of the design of the car extends only to the colour scheme...

Get real. Without the sponsors there would be no F1.

DNQ · 11 Jan 2002, 12:09 (Ref:196978)

Urrghh, a truly shocking looking vehicle...

Mekola · 12 Jan 2002, 04:55 (Ref:197400)

It's more armonic the Vodafone logo that Giorgio Piola drawn in his Ferrari drawings at the Gazzetta dello Sport this week.

Y! da Man! · 12 Jan 2002, 08:26 (Ref:197459)

I really don't care!

couldn't imagine Ron Dennis allowing it on his cars somehow, sponsership or not!! didn't he turn down SEGA for '93 as it would have looked out of place and thats why the williams cars were adorned with "Sonic The Hedgehog"
