Ferrari ‘to reveal two-tone livery’ for SF21?

Ferrari’s SF21 is set to be revealed with a distinctive two-tone red and burgundy livery, according to a report from Italy.
The Scuderia are preparing for their 2021 season launch in two parts, the first of which is on Friday February 26, but the understanding is the initial presentation will focus on people – most notably new driver Carlos Sainz – rather than the car.
The SF21 is due to be shown to the world for the first time in Bahrain on Wednesday March 10, two days before the start of pre-season testing.
When that happens, the Ferrari is likely to look markedly different from last year – and the team will also hope there is a fundamental change in the car’s performance too, in being much more competitive! They finished a poor sixth in last year’s World Championship.
Domenicali rubbishes ‘boring races’ complaints

New Formula 1 boss Stefano Domenicali has rubbished claims that F1 is boring, saying the growing audience numbers don’t speak to that.
Last season Formula 1 hosted a 17-race championship, starting in Austria and concluding in Abu Dhabi.
Fans voted the Turkish Grand Prix as the best race of the season, a weekend in which the drivers slipped and slid their way around Istanbul Park, Lance Stroll took his maiden pole position and Sebastian Vettel returned to the podium.
Even Lewis Hamilton winning by 31 seconds wasn’t a negative given that the Mercedes driver had to fight his way from sixth on the grid.
