+ | 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. | ||

Although the cars have many sponsorship logos on them, the main pattern is based on the traditional BMW Motorsport team colors 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 color]] of Germany, while white and blue are the colors of Bavaria and of BMW itself.{{-}} |

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. |

Latest revision as of 20:17, 10 March 2010
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.

Ferrari
In keeping with their Italian roots, Ferrari has always kept a red color in the tradition of rosso corsa, the national racing color of Italy, except for two races in 1964 when Enzo Ferrari let his cars enter by NART in American blue and white colors 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.

Honda
Honda first raced in Formula One from 1964 to 1968. The cars were entered in an all-white livery with a red circle, duplicating the Japanese flag. The company won several races but left F1 at the end of the 1968 season, before returning as an engine supplier in the 1980s. After a decade away from the sport, Honda returned again as an engine supplier in 2001, before buying the British American Racing team and entering F1 as a constructor in 2006.
For the 2006 season, Honda continued with the 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.

Williams
Williams, as a major constructor, is rare in modern F1 in that they have no manufacturer backing. 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.
