Ferrari to run special Schumacher-inspired livery at 2026 Monza
Ferrari will field a special SF-26 livery at the 2026 Italian Grand Prix in Monza to mark Michael Schumacher's 30th anniversary with the team. The design draws from the 1996 F310 with black wings, red bodywork and gold wheels. Additional initiatives honour the driver's decade at Maranello from 1996 to 2006. The tribute occurs on the September 6 race weekend.
Tribute Details Confirmed
Ferrari has teased a special livery for its SF-26 cars at the 2026 Italian Grand Prix. The design honours Michael Schumacher's 30 years with the team since joining in 1996. It draws inspiration from the F310 car of that season. Elements include black front and rear wings, a vivid red body, and gold wheels.[1] The cars of Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc will carry the scheme at Monza on September 6. Ferrari has posted social media content referencing the legacy. Additional initiatives at the circuit will mark the period from 1996 to 2006. These steps align with the 30th anniversary of Schumacher's first Ferrari victory and the 20th of his final win with the team.[2]
Context at Monza
Monza remains Ferrari's home race. The venue holds particular significance for Schumacher's early years with the Scuderia. The livery and surrounding events will celebrate his contributions without altering the core car design beyond aesthetic changes.[3] The tribute builds on past special liveries used by the team at its home event.
