7 Of The Weirdest One-Off F1 Liveries

[@TomP1Bellingham]

7:10 The person who took this picture definitely took the diamond 😂

[@Milezor]

The tip of the car and wing was broken way before getting to this place as seen in full race footage. the Jaguar had contact with someone else and the barier on the top of the hill before getting in the hairpin.

[@cinemenico]

There were no coincidences that day. All a marketing ploy. Twas a calculated setup to promote the movie about... (diamond) heists. Surely that must've had people talking about it... They must've gone 'how much to promote our movie across the whole car, a livery take-over if you will?'... - 3 million. 'Ouch! Howbout our livery takes up less space?' - Only 400k, 'Ok! Deal! I've got an idea...'

[@thebonesaw..4634]

@@cinemenico -- This has been my counter-argument for years ("diamond" goes "missing" in a promotion for a movie about diamond heists... how stupid do you have to be to believe that diamond was real?) But, let's assume it was real. The main argument I got when asking why someone would take part in something so risky was that this was a setup by the guy who financed the diamonds as part of some sort of tax dodge. Okay, let's do the math... the guy who financed these diamonds was worth about $1 billion at the time of this incident. The average income (in the U.S. at least) is about $35,000. $300,000 is to a billionaire, what $10 would be to someone earning $50,000. Would you be willing to risk *a felony conviction and prison...* over $10 measly dollars? . That said... how does it feel knowing that your salary (assuming you earn $35,000) is equivalent to $1.22 to a billionaire? . $35,000 to us is 8/10ths of a penny... to Jeff Bezos.

9/11 i was happy the race went ahead. My home was such dark place that month , and a long while to come. But , my favorite racing was able to ease my mind for a few hours that Sunday. Thanks F1. Unfortunately, it took that tragedy to bring America together again. I hope we don't need for that to happen again, before we all come together again. We could really use it now.

other than the fact they're a tobacco brand

[@cinemenico]

Olympus will do.

[@footycardstuff1232]

I don’t think they can coz they are a tobacco brand

[@CapHowdy]

Only way they could do it is if they have some kind of other product to advertise such as Mission Winnow (Phillip Morris/Ferrari) or A Better Tomorrow (BAT/McLaren). All that said, the Genii Lotus ran in the black/gold colour scheme as a throwback to the JPS era, and the rumour back in 1998 was the reason Tom Walkinshaw ran the Arrows in an all black livery was to try and entice JPS back to F1 as a sponsor, but it obviously didn't work as why would JPS wanna sponsor a team that was at the back of the grid most of the time and usually finished races at the side of the road.

Well, in NASCAR, enough crowd-funding support was gathered online that one of the teams donned a Doge livery for a while. And in F1, there was one race where UPS tried to do the same thing for their logo as Red Bull did for their entire car. Amusingly, one of the 'faces' that ended up on the UPS logo was none other than the glorious Dickbutt meme.

What if the lost diamond incident was a very meta situation where a group of international thiefs knew about the promotion and went their ways into the garage to sabotage the car and then, a very well placed cameraman, took the picture and when the coast was clear, took the diamond. You just can imagine him going to rejoin the other team members and take a cup of chilled champange in the balcony of a Hotel Casino in Monaco while seeing the sunset through their seaside view.

I think the Force India Racing x BAPE pink camo livery for part of the 1000th F1 race (Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai) definitely isn't "weird" per se, but it's one of my favorites. The clash of two completely different worlds on that car works really well IMO, especially considering Force India/Racing Point's main color is pink and pink camo is one of BAPE's signature designs. One of my favorite new-school liveries for sure.

[@TheLukesterGaming]

Woah that yellow/gold Marlboro McLaren looks exactly how they did it on some old F1 games back on the SEGA or such if I recall, where the AI cars would usually have alternate colour liveries!😮 Another way of describinng it would be like finding a shiny Pokémon😛 but yeah a very interesting and well presented overall video here!👍

I'm not convinced that the real diamonds were mounted on the cars for the race, doesn't seem like something the stewards would allow because of the high likelihood of them getting loose during the race and either hitting a driver,spectator, marshal or car. Clever bit of marketing with the whole "disappearance" after the crash but it either was all smoke and mirrors to begin with or an extremely ambitious insurance scam.

One thing about Ferrari that points to them being too old school and rigid (I am overstating this for effect... or am I?) is the fact they make everyone from the President on down wear suits that look like schoolboy uniforms. I'm all for tradition but is it worth holding on to at the expense of looking ridiculous, which is how I think they look in those Ferrari suits.
