Ferrari<\/a> have been mocked ahead of this weekend’s Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix after revealing an exclusive new paint colour on social media. <\/b><\/p>\n

\nThe iconic Italian outfit currently competes across multiple racing disciplines including the World Endurance Championship and F1. <\/p>\n

\nThe Scuderia boasts an 86-year-old legacy and the iconic shade of red they have continuously raced under has become synonymous with the brand. <\/p>\n

\nAhead of this weekend’s F1 Spanish GP<\/a><\/b>, Ferrari’s social media channels went multi-disciplinary to promote their new ‘Rosso Racing’ paint shade, inspired by their success in F1 and WEC. <\/p>\n

\nThe Instagram post<\/a> read: “The heartbeat of Ferrari\u2019s racing soul: the Rosso Racing paint. <\/p>\n

\n“Now available across the entire model range, this new exclusive colour\u2014offered in matte (Opaco) or glossy (Lucido) finishes\u2014is inspired by the pure adrenaline of the track. <\/p>\n

\n“Opaco mirrors the bold livery of the new #FerrariSF25 Formula 1 model, while the Lucido takes its inspiration from the victorious #Ferrari499PHypercar.” <\/p>\n

Ferrari tribute highlights F1 fan fury<\/p>\n

\nThe new shade was demonstrated on the Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider, a two-seater inspired by classic Ferrari models which features a naturally aspirated V12 engine and hard top. <\/p>\n

\nDespite the release of the exclusive colour celebrating their SF-25 F1 car, fans of the pinnacle of motorsport did not look upon the post favourably, instead taking it as an opportunity to poke fun at the distinct difference in the F1 livery. <\/p>\n

\nThe social media post contained a slideshow of images of the sleek Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider, followed by the SF-25 and then rounded off with the Scuderia’s Le Mans Hypercar, the Ferrari 499P. <\/p>\n

\nOne fan highlighted the red, blue and white F1 livery, making an unfavourable comparison to toothpaste. The comment read: “Cool car, toothpaste, cool car”, suggesting the F1 model was the worst of the three. <\/p>\n

\nAnother clearly agreed, saying: “I love the white stripe but get rid of the blue for heaven\u2019s sake.” <\/p>\n

\nF1 cars have always heavily featured sponsors on their machinery but it could be argued that never has a livery change angered fans more than the introduction of the HP blue on Ferrari’s F1 car<\/a><\/b>. <\/p>\n

\nAnother social media user summed up the common opinion in the comments, writing: “F1 hp logo and the white stripe looks bad.” <\/p>\n

\nNot everyone was disappointed though, with one fan saying: “Power, elegance, and performance in one frame\u2014this is next level!” <\/p>\n

\nLast time out at the Monaco GP, home hero Charles Leclerc<\/a> secured Ferrari’s best finish in the 2025 season so far, earning P2 in the principality. <\/p>\n

\nThe European triple-header concludes<\/a><\/b> this weekend in Barcelona where Ferrari looked strong early on, and given Lewis Hamilton’s stellar record around the track, further success could perhaps be on the cards this weekend. <\/p>\n

\nWhether the Scuderia can finally get over their teething issues with Hamilton<\/a><\/b> or not remains to be seen, but perhaps the one thing F1 fans can agree on is that blue has no place on a Ferrari! <\/p>\n
