Ferrari Brings Lauda Tribute to Monza as Hamilton Offers Qualifying Tow to Aid Leclerc

With a five-place grid drop, Hamilton signals support as Ferrari treats its home race as a reset after Zandvoort.

Overview

  • Ferrari confirms a white-and-red Lauda-inspired livery and period-style team kit, using HP’s recyclable high‑temperature wrap, with Lauda’s 312 T on display at the Museo Ferrari.
  • Hamilton’s five-place penalty from Zandvoort stands, which team boss Fred Vasseur called severe before deciding against a review to keep focus on performance.
  • The seven-time champion says he is willing to provide Leclerc a slipstream in qualifying if it benefits the team, acknowledging the tactic’s risks.
  • Huge crowds turned Milan events into a tifosi showcase and Monza is near a sell-out, with organizers reporting roughly 335,000–350,000 spectators expected.
  • Vasseur reiterates the goal of securing at least one win before season’s end despite McLaren’s pace, as Leclerc draws belief from last year’s unexpected Monza victory.
