Ferrari announced that Scuderia Ferrari HP will run a unique paint scheme on Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton’s two SF-26 cars during the United States Grand Prix in Austin, honoring the creative and engineering journey that turns a concept into a Formula 1 vehicle.
Engineering Blueprints Transform SF-26 Appearance in Austin
The Austin design draws inspiration from the belief that every Ferrari begins with a line on paper, incorporating sketches, technical drawings, and blueprint-inspired graphics normally hidden beneath the finished bodywork. According to Ferrari, the livery puts the development process itself at centre stage, celebrating the work that takes place long before a car reaches the circuit. Visual components typically restricted to engineering files, CAD software, and notebooks are now integrated into the vehicle’s exterior look.

The project required close collaboration between Ferrari teams in Maranello and HP specialists. Through extensive testing and fine-tuning, the intricate graphics were successfully adapted to fit the intricate contours of a Formula 1 machine while satisfying all strict race weekend operational standards. Ferrari used HP Latex technology to reproduce the intricate blueprint-inspired graphics, continuing innovation work the two partners have pursued through previous special liveries.
Color and Finish Expertise Guides Visual Process Story
Silvia Cavallaro, color and finish manager at Ferrari, summarized the spirit of the project:
« Cette livrée célèbre le chemin qui mène de l’idée à la réalité. Chaque Ferrari naît de la créativité, des croquis et de l’expertise technique, bien avant que la voiture n’arrive sur la piste. Grâce à notre collaboration avec HP, nous avons pu donner une forme visuelle à ce processus et raconter une histoire qui révèle le savoir-faire et l’innovation à l’origine des performances. »
Silvia Cavallaro
Making its debut at one of the sport’s biggest and most enthusiastic gatherings, this unique livery merges Ferrari’s long-standing history of ingenuity with HP’s technological expertise specifically for the American audience.
