Ferrari from the seventies inspires 2016 F1 livery

Reports that Ferrari is adding a lot more white to the livery of its iconic red cars for 2016 appear to be on the mark.

La Repubblica has published what it purports to be official drafts of the livery of the new Formula 1 challenger from Maranello

The report said the all-white engine cover is "inspired by the historical 312T of 1975", as driven to the world championship by Niki Lauda.

Ferrari is hoping its 2016 car is good enough to challenge Mercedes, despite the German team having dominated in the new turbo power unit era so far.
