The color red in this cover may represent red in the Mexican flag for the blood of those lost in the fight for independence, it may represent Ferrari red for Scuderia Ferrari, it may represent the coming holiday, the day of the dead "Día de Muertos". Either way, it represents people fighting for their beliefs and passion. We see Sebastian Vettel firing down the circuit with the city scape of Mexico city in the background and the Angel of Independence over his right shoulder.

Did you know?

El Ángel aka the "Monument to Independence" is a Mexico City focal point and one of the most notable landmarks. The statue represents both victory and freedom. It is made of bronze but covered with 24k gold. The column has an inner staircase that can be climbed to get a bird's eye view of the city.
