Formula One commercial Chief, Sean Bratches said that the decision of changing the F1 logo was made because the old design was not suitable for the modern digital platform and merchandise. He also said that the sport has to follow other global brands such as Coca-Cola which has simplified its brand for the digital era.

The old Formula One logo was iconic due to its classic design which cleverly concealed the ‘1' in the middle. But Liberty Media states that the 1 was hidden in the old logo and also the new design is easy to replicate digitally and on the merchandise as well.

F1 Commercial Chief, Sean Bratches said, "We hold in high regard the incumbent mark. It served F1 extremely well over the past 23 years, but in terms of where we are taking the business and our vision for the business, it is the negative space in the '1' doesn't come through candidly in digital."
