If we look at the beautiful Ferrari livery for its 2022 Formula 1 season we immediately make a triple jump back into the past. A bit like in “Back to the Future”, when the legendary DeLorean time machine brought back ‘Doc’ Emmett Brown and Marty McFly from 1985 to 1955, also in Maranello they rewound the tape of about thirty years.
Those who thought that with the return of the sponsor Santander there could also be the return of the famous white on the ailerons, had a nice surprise … on the contrary, predictable from the new official uniforms made by Puma and shown last week.
In fact, in Emilia they chose a color that had not been seen on the F92A since 1992, with these completely dark parts where there were some sponsors’ logos and writings.
Subsequently, the ailerons ‘hosted’ other brands and a very latest version of the genre was appreciated in 1996, Michael Scumacher’s first year in red where the F310 had both black wings, but with some white stripes due precisely to the partners.
That season actually marked a revolution and the restart which then matured with taking race wins and several World Championships by the “Kaiser Schumi” and the Prancing Horse.
In the hope that those results can be repeated today by taking advantage of the regulation changes introduced by the FIA and Liberty Media, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Jr. will present themselves on the track with a nice reference to the past that becomes topical with their brand new F1-75, because in addition to the evocative name there is also the livery.
We pointed out the completely black ailerons, but there is also the lower part of the car, as well as the aerodynamic appendages placed in front of the side elements and on the front wheels, and also the Halo.
The red remains opaque and has a rather dark shade that looks back to the Ferrari cars of the past, more tending to burgundy (but not reaching the dark one seen at Mugello for the 1000 Grands Prix).
The white logo of the 75 years since the founding of the factory by Enzo Ferrari is applied on a black background that fades into glossy red towards the rear, in the upper part of the bonnet near the camera and with a beautiful tricolor flag underneath, while further back there is the numbers 16 / 55 of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, also in black and present on the nose.
Next to the 75th anniversary logo, the rollbar bears RadioBook, with the “E” underneath to highlight the electrical components, the yellow-red shell of the Shell and the names of the drivers.
Santander finds its place with its white emblem right in the back of the bodywork, the side elements keep the Ray-Ban and Shell logos, including the new sponsor Ceva.
As in past years, below them are VistaJet, SKF, NGK Spark Plugs, Brembo and Manpower Group, with Snapdragon finding space on the flow diverter under the side bellies and on the Halo, here together with Snapdragon (front), plus Estrella Galicia 0.0, Richard Mille, Shell and AWS above.
Velas appears on the mirrors, the edges of the cockpit still show Ray-Ban, Estrella Galicia 0.0 and Snapdragon next to the driver’s head, with the Ferrari shield, Richard Mille, OMR and Santander on the sides of the nose.
In this area, in the front part, above the aforementioned number of conductors we have #essereferrari in black (on the Halo attack) and Velas in white, with the Shell shell underneath and then AWS, Palantir, Pirelli, Mahle, Santander and the classic rectangular Ferrari emblem on the tip of the nose.

Shell V-Power and Kaspersky Lab are also placed on the front wing, with side profiles showing AWS on the inside and Santander on the outside, where the red aerodynamic flap stands out.
The flow deflectors surrounding the front tires have a yellow front edge and the SnapDragon logo on the inside, the steering arms the F1 motto #WeRaceAsOne.
Finally, moving to the rear, we again find Shell V-Power and Velas in white on the outside of the wing, whose central part – that of the DRS to be clear – is devoid of writing on the front, but with Velas in white behind.
An important change was also made by the racing suits produced by Puma, which have the same design as the official uniforms shown last week.
Black band on the chest on which the Ferrari shield stands out on the heart, even the sleeves are half of the same shade with the brands Ray-Ban, OMR, Estrella Galicia 0.0 (right) and AWS, Pirelli and Palantir (left) heat-applied in white.
This solution has replaced embroidery to remedy the problems of … Weight. On the other hand, in today’s F1 every saved gram translates into speed.
On the shoulders there is Snapdragon and further down the Puma logo, in the part below the black band we have the Shell and Velas shell on the right side, and Santander and Ceva in white on the left.
Here Charles Lerclerc’s suit has a thin white band that recalls the flag of the Principality of Monaco, while Carlos Sainz has a yellow one for Spain.
On their belts there are flags and first names of the two drivers, flanked by the hashtag #essereferrari.
Finally, on the forearms we find Richard Mille in white, while on the left thigh the Monegasque has the # 16 and the Spaniard the # 55, with the shoes that have turned black.
