| Ferrari will race at the Miami Grand Prix with a colour scheme featuring two different shades of blue to mark its history in the United States, the team announced on Tuesday. The Italian outfit, famous for racing in its distinctive shade of red, will unveil the new look ahead of the Florida race on May 6. The livery will mark 70 years since the manufacturer entered the U.S. marketplace. In the early days of motor racing, nations were unofficially given 'racing colours' -- Italian teams would race in red, with the Rosso Corsa shade becoming synonymous with Ferrari in the 20th Century, while American teams traditionally raced with blue. This custom is where "British racing green" comes from. Ferrari used a throwback livery for its 1000th race at the 2020 Tuscan Grand Prix. John Ricky/Anadolu via Getty Images Ferrari has confirmed it will use shades called Azzurro La Plata and Azzurro Dino. The Italian team has used throwback liveries in the past, with a special shade of red for its 1000th race in 2020. Ferrari did not confirm the extent to which the blue shades will replace the team's traditional red colours on its car in Miami. Formula One will this week discuss a plan to extend grand prix championship points from the top 10 to the top 12 finishers of a race. Under the current structure, the top ten drivers score points, which are handed out as 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1. On Thursday, the suggestion of changing that format will be a topic for the F1 Commission, and if agreed the new structure would come into force from 2025. After Verstappen's Chinese GP victory, who can challenge his F1 dominance? 4dLaurence Edmondson The plan as it stands currently would not change the points on offer for the top seven, but would alter the points from eighth downwards, going from 4-2-1-0-0 to 5-4-3-2-1. Sources have told ESPN the mooted change has come due to pressure from smaller teams, who feel there would be more value if additional points were on offer given how the top five teams (representing 10 of the grid's drivers) are a step ahead of the bottom five teams in terms of pure pace. Three of F1's 10 teams -- Williams, Sauber and Alpine -- are yet to score a point this year. Making sure the top seven remain unchanged is a bid to secure support from bigger outfits -- six of the 10 teams need to agree for the proposal to pass. The Commission is not bound by a decision however, as teams could defer the vote in order to further analyse the pros and cons of the change. F1 had slowly increased the amount of points on offer for its drivers over the last few decades. The old 10-6-4-3-2-1 system became 10-8-5-4-3-2-1 in 2003 in a bid to shake up the championship fight, before the current format was introduced for 2010. F1's most recent change around points was in 2021 and the bonus point on offer for a driver who finishes in the top 10 and records the fastest lap of the race. Under the proposed system, this would remain the same, albeit with the bonus point extending to anyone who finished in the top 12. Red Bull boss Christian Horner rejected suggestions Max Verstappen has made Formula One boring after the triple world champion took his domination to new heights in China over the weekend. Verstappen's maiden win in Shanghai was his fourth of the season and sent him 25 points clear of Mexican teammate Sergio Perez after five races. He also started all five from pole position. The 26-year-old has now won half of all the races held since Formula One last raced in China, in April 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic. McLaren's Lando Norris, the runner-up Sunday, told reporters earlier that the sport was witnessing a greater dominance than ever before. "The only exciting races have been the ones that Max is not in," Norris said. "If you see the same driver winning every single time without a fight then of course it does start to become boring and that is obvious." Christian Horner said Max Verstappen is in a golden moment. Clive Mason - Formula 1/Formula 1 via Getty Images Horner said Verstappen's performances needed to be appreciated. "Max is a special talent and it's a golden moment for him," Horner told reporters. "As we've seen with every single driver it doesn't last forever and I think it's enjoying the moment, being in the moment and there's no guarantees that we'll be able to give him a car like this every year for the next five years. "It's doing what you can, while you can. He's just like a metronome. The pace that he showed last year, he's just continued that through. "Since the last Chinese Grand Prix, he's won 50% of all the races. He's won 21 of the last 23 races. He's in fantastic form, at one with the car and at one with the team and enjoying his racing." Horner, whose team also won four straight titles with Sebastian Vettel from 2010 to 2013, said there was "no ambiguity" about where Verstappen would be racing in 2025, referencing public overtures by Mercedes boss Toto Wolff despite the champion having a contract until 2028. Mercedes were dominant from 2014 to 2020 and have a vacancy for 2025, with seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton switching to Ferrari -- who had a similar golden era with Michael Schumacher in the early 2000s. "I think sometimes it's just designed to create noise," said Horner of Wolff's comments. "We've moved today ahead of the amount of races Mercedes have won in the modern era. The team's in form, why on earth would you want to leave this team? "[Wolff's] time would be better spent perhaps focusing on the team rather than the driver market. Have you heard George Russell is out of contract at the end of 2025? Maybe he might not be so keen to stay in '26. The market moves around." | |

| My Top 5 Drivers Are MAX / Norris / Sainz / Gasly & Bottas. I Made The Mistake In The F1 Game In That I Didn't Have Faith In The RedBull Team n I Based My Race Results To Get Points 4 My Positioning In The Standings, I Won't Do It Again. As 4 MAX, What Can I Say, Simply One Of The Best All-Time F1 Drivers. U Either Love Em Or Hate Em. As 4 Norris, He Is A Great Driver But I Believe He Fucks Up Under Pressure n Needs 2 B A Little More Aggressive. I Should Get 3 Points Taking Off My F1 Game Standings 4 My Cussing, Sorry Gang. All The Teams n Drivers Make Mistakes But It Seems Like Team Mclaren Need To Focus A Little More. Ahhh Yes, The Race Itself, 4 Starters I'm Not a Fan Of Work Being Done On Cars During a Red Flag Incedent. MAX, Going From 17th To First >>> Buddy That Was All Luck, A Little Jab @ Norris. Where As Norris Went From 1st To 6th, Empressive Mate. U Know MAX Excells @ Wet Weather Races. During The Race MAX Continued To Put In The Fastest Lap Time After Time After Time n The 19 Sec Leed Over The 2nd Place Driver Ocon. Way 2 Seal The Victory MAX. Nicely Done By The Alpine Team n There 2 Drivers, Both Ocon n Gasly. Yesterday We Saw a Performance That Will Go Down In The History Books From The Best In The Sport Currently. Is Anyone Shocked That Lando and Russell Got No Penalty Other Than The 5k For The Aborted Re-Start During The Race. I'd Have To Say That The 2024 Brazilian Race Is Up There In My FAV. Races 2 Watch. I Hope MAX Seals His 4th Title In Vegas n Im Sure We R Gunna C Plenty Of Good Racing In The Final 3 Races Of The 2024 Season. One Last Jab >>> I Woulda Loved 2 C MAX n Sainz as Team Mates 4 The 2025 Season n U Gotta Hope That The FIA Will B a Little More Consistant With Their Calls / Decizions 4 The 2025 Season, Thanx 4 Allowing Me 2 Rant. MAX 4 The 2024 Title n Norris 4 Driver Of The Year. I'd Have 2 Say Norris, You R a Great Driver But Sadly Just NOT Championship Title This Year Or Next Year.
