Ferrari is reportedly set to celebrate the 50th anniversary of one of the most momentous moments in the Formula 1 team’s history at next week’s Italian Grand Prix.
The Scuderia has not enjoyed the happiest of seasons in 2025, with the team so far yet to score a single Grand Prix victory.
Ferrari’s SF-25 challenger has been a continuing source of problems for the team, with Lewis Hamilton’s China Sprint Race win the team’s only triumph of the year.
Despite lying second in the Constructors’ Championship, Ferrari is currently a whopping 299 points behind runaway leaders McLaren.
But the team will be buoyed by its usual partisan support at Monza, where F1 arrives next after this weekend’s Dutch Grand Prix.
According to Italian publication Auto Racer, the team is set to mark 50 years since the late Niki Lauda won the World Championship in its colours.
It was at Monza that year that Lauda finished third to secure the first of his three Drivers’ championships, with team-mate Clay Regazzoni winning the race.
Across the summer break, Ferrari has been documenting Lauda’s triumph on its social media platforms, further hinting that the celebration will take place.
Its content was concluded with a brief clip of Hamilton and team-mate Charles Leclerc, followed by the caption: “Monza 2025: Coming soon.”
“When I got to Monza, it was different,” the Monegasque says in the video.
Hamilton, whose decision to join Mercedes was largely down to Lauda’s influence and to whom he was close, added: “The tifosi are just… you see them there in the biggest and fullest force.
“It’s such a privilege and an honour to be able to be racing for this team.”
Ferrari may sport a special livery for the race, a tradition of the previous two seasons. In 2023, a special colour scheme was released to celebrate its Le Mans 24 Hours triumph.
And in 2024, a tweaked livery was used along with Leclerc and then-team-mate Carlos Sainz sporting black overalls to celebrate the use of carbon fibre in F1.
