White to feature prominently on 2016 Ferrari livery

The livery for Ferrari's 2016 Formula 1 car could include a large dollop of white, harking back to the team's livery used briefly in the early nineties.

The authoritative La Gazzetta dello Sport said the car, currently codenamed 667, will be revealed to the public via an online launch on 19 February, a couple of days before the start of official winter testing in Barcelona.

According to F1 Analisi Tecnica, Ferrari is planning a novel livery for 2016, with the addition of the colour white around the cockpit area.

The report said the livery design resembles the Ferrari F93, used by Jean Alesi and Gerhard Berger, during the 1993 season which featured a substantial white stripe around the cockpit and engine cover.
