Ferrari reveals special livery for F1 Italian Grand Prix

The Ferrari Formula 1 team has unveiled a celebratory livery for this weekend’s Italian Grand Prix that pays homage to the marque’s 2023 Le Mans 24 Hours victory.

At Monza, the SF-23 machine will wear added yellow V stripes across the nose cone and engine cover.

This is in deference to the paint job worn by the 499P Hypercar that won the blue-riband World Endurance Championship event earlier this year on the 100th anniversary of Le Mans.

The races numbers (#16 for Charles Leclerc and #55 for Carlos Sainz) will also be stickered in yellow, rather than the usual white on black background.

Similarly, the drivers’ special helmets (predominantly yellow for Leclerc and black for Sainz) and race suits using the more traditional Ferrari ‘long F’ logo have also been revealed.

Ferrari has a long history with the colour yellow. While it is most associated with the famous Rosso Corsa red, this is derived from the national racing colour of Italy. It was worn by Lancia and Alfa Romeo.

The yellow background of the famous Ferrari shield, however, was crafted to represent the colour of the city of Modena, which is home to the Scuderia.
