'''Formula One sponsorship liveries''' have been used since the late 1960s, replacing the previously used [[list of international auto racing colors|national colours]]. With [[sponsor (commercial)|sponsor]]s becoming more important with the rising costs in Formula One, many teams wanted to be able to display the logos of their sponsors as clearly as possible.
 
  
−
The liveries are usually changed for every season in the sport, marking the marketing ideas of the sponsors. Many teams keep some consistency over the years however, like the red colour of Ferrari, which has its origin in a shade of red known as [[rosso corsa]] being the national racing colour of Italy. At certain events where tobacco sponsorships are prohibited, teams may use an alternate non-tobacco livery. At historical events, cars are allowed to use the livery which was used when the car was actively competing.

After having been an engine supplier in the 1980s and again since 2000, [[BMW]] entered Formula One with a works team of its own in [[2006 Formula One season|2006]]. Although the cars have many sponsorship logos on them, the main pattern is based on the traditional [[BMW Motorsport]] team colours of white with light blue, dark blue and a little red (in an almost purple shade). White is also the original [[List of international auto racing colors|national racing colour]] of Germany, while white and blue are the colours of [[Bavaria]] and of BMW itself.

In keeping with their Italian roots, [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]] has always kept a red colour in the tradition of [[rosso corsa]], the national racing colour of Italy, except for two races in 1964 when Enzo Ferrari let his cars enter by [[North American Racing Team|NART]] in American blue and white colours to protest against Italian racing authorities. Over the years, rosso corsa has been combined with white parts and with various sponsorship schemes, but Ferrari has never fully let their cars be dominated by the sponsorship livery like many other teams have.

For the 2006 season, Honda continued with the [[British American Tobacco|BAT]] sponsorship with the Lucky Strike logo, but BAT pulled out for 2007. From 2007, the only logos on the car are the [[Honda]] badge, the [[Bridgestone]] logo, and the logo of Honda's environmental awareness program, Earth Dreams. For 2007, the livery itself was a picture of the Earth on a black background. For 2008, however, there are only pieces of the image of Earth on a mainly white background, as opposed to the whole of the Earth being on Honda's car.

Formula One sponsorship liveries have been used since the late 1960s, replacing the previously used national colors. With sponsors becoming more important with the rising costs in Formula One, many teams wanted to be able to display the logos of their sponsors as clearly as possible.

The liveries are usually changed for every season in the sport, marking the marketing ideas of the sponsors. Many teams keep some consistency over the years however, like the red color of Ferrari, which has its origin in a shade of red known as rosso corsa being the national racing color of Italy. At certain events where tobacco sponsorships are prohibited, teams may use an alternate non-tobacco livery. At historical events, cars are allowed to use the livery which was used when the car was actively competing.


Alfa Romeo

Alfa Romeo was a Formula One constructor between 1950-1951 and again between 1979-1985.

Benetton

Benetton Formula Ltd., commonly referred to simply as Benetton, was a Formula One constructor that participated from 1986 to 2001. The team was owned by the Benetton family who run a worldwide chain of clothing stores of the same name. In 2000 the team was purchased by Renault, but competed as Benetton for the 2001 season.

Over the years, their supply of engines and other major components has often changed, meaning that their livery is renewed more often than most of their rivals. Sponsors of Williams can often have the livery dramatically changed (for the right price, of course), which has helped to keep Williams competitively financed since 1978, when Williams first entered as a constructor.
