I don't understand why something like Vegas gets a special livery but historical and prestigious races like Monaco don't. Same for Miami

Because they're new tracks. Teams won't keep doing them every year. Also what about this special Monaco livery?

That's one team and 2 years ago

Sorry that exactly what you asked for wasn't good enough. How about Red Bull's special Japanese livery or Alfa Romeo's special Italian livery?

One is for celebrating Honda and the other the home country of the title sponsor.

Monaco has a cult following already and doesn't need the hype. Vegas and Miami are newer and still trying to justify their place on the calendar. It's a marketing strategy.

FWIW Charles had a special race suit for Monaco this year. Definitely more driver oriented but still coordinated with and approved by the team. It's not a livery but it's something.

Yeah also Monaco is his hometown. I'm talking about spending untold thousands of euro for stripping the paint from carbon fiber and repainting

McLaren last year?

What waste of an announcement lol we did some white accents just like monza was yellow accents. Laziness in the extreme

IT's Ferrari, they don't change their iconic look too much.

Nice, for a Ferrari. You can’t expect anything too wild from them. I like it.
