Haas F1 Team looks set to use a yellow livery in Formula One next year.
In recent days, the new American team has been practicing pit stops at its factory with a black-liveried show car.
But La Gazzetta dello Sport, the authoritative Italian source, says the actual race livery next year will be yellow, like the Ferrari logo.
Owner Gene Haas, however, rejected claims the team is little more than a Ferrari 'B team'.

"I keep getting asked that and my answer is unequivocal: no," Haas said. "Haas has an unique image and we will have our own way of working, even if Ferrari is an important technical partner."
Team boss Guenther Steiner played down suggestions Haas is skirting too close to the regulations, after Mercedes recently queried the close relationship between the new team and Ferrari.
"We are only doing what is permitted by the regulations," Steiner insisted.
Rumours abound that Alfra Romeo is looking at returning in 2017. Apparently Chrysler has 52 billion set aside for brand development and F1 is thought to be an avenue they will pursue.

I sort of lost momentum on the last 5 or 6 races of 2015 - still have 4 to watch on my DVR. I'm looking forward to 2016 though.
I'm hoping that McLaren Honda can start seeing some improvements and I'm really rooting for the new plucky underdog from Haas. Especially with my underdog favorite Grosjean on board.
AUSTIN, Texas (KXAN/AP) — More doubts about whether or not Formula 1 will take place in Austin next year. The future of the struggling U.S. Grand Prix was thrown into further doubt Wednesday when the 2016 Formula One calendar listed the race as “subject to agreement” with the promoter.
Officials at the Circuit of the Americas have said they are financially strapped after storms wiped out much of the 2015 race weekend and by news the Texas governor’s office is cutting public funding by about 20 percent.
The 2016 race calendar released by the FIA’s World Motor Sport Council still has the race scheduled for Oct. 23 but with an asterisk.
“The USA’s slot remains provisional,” the FIA said.
Track officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Cause Ghosn was involved, he was trying to get it down to $1
Just imagine if he had another 6 months. It was still a good deal for Genii at the end though, as having a small % of Renault F1 is better than having 100% of bankrupt F1.
It went so well the last time Prost was in charge.

Short version, Prost bought Ligier team from Flavio, hired John Barnard, got heavy unreliable Peugeot motors, always searching for sponsorship, never could sort out the chassis's due to lack of funds, no success, alot of bills and unpaid employees, end of team.
$32,000 is a cheap price for some advertising. Not to mention now that it has made the news because of the fine even more people than before are probably going to see the video. Honestly, wonder if they wanted the fine for some more publicity.
Of all the FCA brands, Alfa is certainly the most appropriate for F1, but I can't imagine FCA doing this.

So I'm ghetto-subbed for 2016 chatter...
Same here, need to find time to watch the end of the season.

Was hoping to go this year.
This sport is going to shrivel up if something good doesnt happen with some of the regs before then.
