I don't understand why something like Vegas gets a special livery but historical and prestigious races like Monaco don't. Same for Miami
Marketing
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?
That redbull tho π
One is for celebrating Honda and the other the home country of the title sponsor.
OK... so?
What's Vegas for Ferrari?
What's Singapore, Japan, and Qatar for McLaren and Williams?
Home country of title sponsors?
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?
