Ferrari's Vodaphone Sponsorship

[vat_man]

Is it just me, or does the Vodaphone sponsorship on the Ferrari look AWFUL?!?

Could we have made it bigger?

Just another red grand prix car. What, it's a Ferrari?


Looks like the old Dallaras from the early 1990's!!

I hate the new look as well. I don't even want to guess how much they paid for that...those logos definitely outshine Marlboro's! What happened to FedEx and TicTac?

Apparently the combined sponsorship of Ferrari F1 and Manchester United soccer in the UK costs Vodafone $135m. And I'm a Vodafone user!

Anyway, the Vodaquote would look much better on the airbox, or on the wing endplates, as the chassis is too curvy to carry the shape of the logo where it is at the moment.

But don't forget guys, this is the 2001 car, so it could be just an interim livery.

Now that's what a Ferrari looks like without sponsorship. Enzo himself once said, "I don't want provalactic companies sponsoring my car." Cellphones are much more hideous, in my mind.

we need the ferraris to be returned to the red they were before 1997.

The one thing I really dislike about the vodafone is...

the blocked red on the wings! Couldn't they make the vodafone logo and lettering red on the white instead!?!?!?!!

If you look closely, you'll see that the red block is not completely rectangular - it's supposed to look like a SIM card.

Kev - those are the two I used for the trivia question aren't they?

They sure are Duds. Right off forix. I knew that 1996 one in the gravel looked familiar. The 1997 one is probably the same as well. I got the first thing I could find for each year.
