Ferrari’s Historic Tribute to Niki Lauda: 50 Years of Racing Legacy Celebrated at Monza
A Historic Tribute at Monza
Ferrari has unveiled a special livery for the 2025 Italian Grand Prix, paying tribute to Niki Lauda’s first Formula 1 world championship victory with the team 50 years ago. The celebration comes at a particularly significant moment in Ferrari’s history, as it marks both a historic milestone and a new chapter for the team.
The Legacy of a Champion
Niki Lauda, the Austrian racing titan whose fearless spirit and unmatched grit earned him three world championships, remains the only driver to clinch titles with both Ferrari and McLaren. His 1975 triumph came after Ferrari introduced the new 312T at the South African GP. The car proved instantly competitive, with Lauda winning four of the next eight races, including the Monaco GP. At Monza, a third-place finish was enough to secure his maiden world title, making him the first Austrian world champion since Jochen Rindt in 1970.
Special Livery Details
Ferrari has modified their SF-25’s livery to mirror its look from 50 years ago in several ways. The engine cover is painted white, and the drivers’ numbers are framed within a white background. White stripes have been added to the car’s flanks, while the front and rear wings are coloured silver, matching the look of the 312T, which used aluminium for these parts. The wheel covers have also been designed to replicate those of Ferrari’s 1975 car.
A New Era Meets History
This season’s tribute carries added significance given Lauda’s legacy, both with Ferrari and through his role in shaping Lewis Hamilton’s career. The Austrian was instrumental in persuading Hamilton to move to Mercedes in 2013, paving the way for six of his seven world championships. Monza will mark Hamilton’s first Italian Grand Prix in Ferrari colours, which Ferrari has described as “something truly special”.
As Ferrari heads into its home race, the team is seeking to secure its first win of the 2025 season, hoping to honor Lauda’s legacy with a performance worthy of his memory.
