Ferrari Unveils Lauda Tribute for Monza as Hamilton Takes Five-Place Penalty

A sold-out home weekend intensifies pressure on winless Ferrari.

Overview

  • Ferrari confirmed a white-and-red SF-25 livery honoring Niki Lauda’s 1975 312 T, with period-style uniforms, helmets, and gear for the team and drivers.
  • The look is applied via an HP-developed recyclable PVC wrap designed for high temperatures, and the car arrives with two rear wings including an extreme low-drag option.
  • Team principal Fred Vasseur restated the target of securing at least one race win this season, casting Monza as a chance to rebound from the Zandvoort double retirement.
  • Lewis Hamilton will serve a five-place grid drop for a yellow-flag infringement at Zandvoort, called the penalty severe, vowed a fightback, and said he would tow Charles Leclerc if asked.
  • Milan’s Drive to Monza events drew massive crowds ahead of a near-capacity weekend of roughly 330,000–350,000 attendees, as Leclerc aims to replicate his 2024 Monza win.
