Charles Leclerc and Hamilton will run with a retro design that evokes Ferrari’s glory in the 70s.
This weekend, the Monza Grand Prix will be played, the only one that runs in Italy and that coincides with the 50th anniversary of the first world title of Niki Lauda with Ferrari. Therefore, the shield of the Rampante Cavallino Prepare several tributes and winks to remind the historic Austrian pilot, Tricampeon of Formula 1 and key figure in the history of the most popular and winning team of the category.
In the 1975 GP of Italy, Ferrari ended an eleven-year drought without titles in the F1, thus opening a golden stage: three consecutive builders championships (1976-1979) and two pilot titles, the 1977 again with Lauda and that of 1979 by Jody Scheckter.
All the tributes of Ferarri to Niki Lauda at the Monza Grand Prix
The main tribute to Niki Lauda will be visible in the cars of Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc: the Ferrari Red Classic will combine with the characteristic target of the team in the 70s. The SF-25, which competes in the current season, will adopt an aesthetic inspired by the mythical Ferrari 312T of Lauda and Clay Regazzoni, champion of builders in 1975. The dorsals with white background, the inscriptions in italics with the names of the pilots and the details in the tires will reinforce that retro air.

The special labeling of monoplays will be carried out thanks to a joint project between Ferrari and its partner HP technician. For this, a recyclable PVC sheet is used, lighter and more resistant to the extreme heat of F1. This innovation, already tested in the Miami Grand Prix, combines a sustainable approach with design solutions that improve both aesthetics and aerodynamic efficiency of the car. On the other hand, the pilots Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc will wear from the press day to the race, the classic blue tones with which Lauda competed.
