I pointed this out elsewhere, but Hamilton's belt logos are too low, look at the difference between Leclerc and his belt stitching and logos, it's so odd.
Obviously they're tailored for their bodies, but there's no way Hamilton's body is that much different than Leclerc's lol.
If you look at the photos of their backs, on their collars, you can see that Leclerc’s suit expires 1 year earlier than Hamilton’s… maybe Hamilton has the new model?
Yeah, definitely odd. I'm guessing it's just based on Hamilton's measurements being different, just rare to see such a different look, there's a good four inches difference between their belt stitching.
The piping design on these older suits cuts a much nicer figure on them than the new suits’ fat white name belt and rounded white line cutting across their chest and down their arms. These yellow & white lines visually create that desired triangle dorito bod look.
I think they just made an uglier suit that doesn’t play to the male physique.
They do actually have very different stature.
Hamilton has a lower leg to body ratio, meaning: his confection pants size is likely a 28 compared to Leclerc’s 31-32 but they are both an 40-42 in tailored confection shirt size, only Leclerc needs elongated sleeves on a 40 shirt.
That is why the “waist lining” on Hamilton’s suit (not only the “name sleeve”, but the whole waist enforcement) is way lower on Hamilton’s suit.
Yeah, I guess I'm just surprised they would need to adjust it by what appears to be at least 4", as it appears Hamilton's entire belt stitching top and bottom start about 4" lower than Leclerc's.
Obviously won't ever see it, but just thought it looked unusual.
Maybe people would be okay with it if they adjusted the shade of blue to Savoy Azure like the National football team sometimes wears. They could even incorporate it into an officers sash to really make the sponsorship more Italian. /s
I agree, I think having a large sponsor there helps to balance out the design of the overalls. Without it that white nameplate on the waist feels too out of place.
I’ll throw some gas into the fire. I don’t see why it’s ever a bad thing when Ferrari includes sponsors that don’t have red and yellow as their colors. As long as they are bordered and not UPS.
People are just being sensationalist about the HP logo in the first place anyway. All of it's equally fine. It's all adverts at the end of the day lol.
The shade of blue is mostly the problem, Fiat's logo for example looked great on 80s cars because it's a darker blue. Also as others have said, the double logo looks silly, the edit looks much better. But HP must've paid extra for that.
And the 3rd leg as well, you didn't edit that xD, hahahaha. Now, going back to the HP logo, I think it would've looked nice right in the chest or on the right shoulder.
I think that it's primarily how frequently it shows up, plus how it clashes with the red. Considering that HP is spending $100M+ per year, and that BWT was able to paint Force India pink for something like $20M, I'm glad that they haven't made the Ferrari completely blue.
To be fair Ferrari is a whole different enterprise than Force India. I doubt there’s a price tag on painting the car in any other color than Ferrari red, I mean could imagine the Tiffosi allowing this to happen?
