Ferrari brings a special livery to the Italian Grand Prix.
This year’s Formula 1 season is coming to Monza this weekend, one of the most legendary race tracks in the world and an undoubtedly integral venue to Formula 1 legacy. For Ferrari, one of the most historic teams in the world’s most prestigious racing series, the Prancing Horse is celebrating a special racing weekend at Monza. Specifically, it was 50 years ago in 1975 when Austrian driver Niki Lauda won his first World Championship title at the end of the Italian Grand Prix. Finishing third in the race with Clay Regazzoni winning the race in the other Ferrari, the moment was a glorious milestone for Ferrari, securing both the Drivers’ and Constructors’ titles for the season.
That success would kick off a high that Scuderia Ferrari would ride until 1979, and to celebrate its 50th anniversary, Scuderia Ferrari has recreated the livery that the 312 T F1 car wore when it emerged victorious in 1975. Racing drivers Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton will be behind the wheel of the SF-25, wearing a special historically inspired livery that features a shade of red like the one used in 1975, white longitudinal stripes, the drivers’ names in cursive script, racing numbers in black on a white background, with special treatments given to the rear wings, engine covers, and wheels to evoke the 312 T.
In addition, the entire team will sport racing kit and suits inspired by what Scuderia Ferrari had in 1975, which was developed in partnership with longtime Scuderia Ferrari partner, PUMA. A replica collection of the special apparel will be available to the public, as well. At the Ferrari Museum in Maranello, fans will be able to see the 312 T that Niki Lauda drove to his first championship victory starting tomorrow to celebrate the anniversary, as well, alongside a car featuring the special livery. With the 50th anniversary of Niki Lauda’s incredible victory being celebrated and Lewis Hamilton’s first appearance at Monza driving for Scuderia Ferrari, this racing weekend is set to be one of the most anticipated ones on this year’s F1 calendar.
