A special livery for Ferrari in Melbourne
Following a complaint from Australian authorities, Ferrari arrives in Australia with a special livery, without the "Mission Winnow" that resembles the logo of the cigarette brand sponsoring the Scuderia.
A few weeks ago, Australian authorities refused the appearance of the “Mission Winnow” logo on the Ferrari. The reason? The title sponsor of the Italian team is a branch of the tobacco brand, Philip Morris. Australia is one of the strictest countries in the world regarding tobacco advertising.
In order to replace the “Mission Winnow” logo, the Scuderia replaced it with another logo celebrating the team’s 90th anniversary. Created by Enzo Ferrari in 1929, Scuderia Ferrari has become an icon of the automobile over time. This temporary logo is notably visible on the two wings and the engine cover.
Ferrari is not the only one in this situation since McLaren will also have to remove the slogan A Better Tomorrow, which comes from a partnership with British American Tobacco.
