Ferrari will run a Michael Schumacher tribute livery on its SF-26 at the Italian Grand Prix at Monza on September 6, 2026, marking key milestones from the German’s Ferrari era.

The homage recognises 30 years since his first Ferrari victory in 1996 and 20 years since his final season with the team in 2006.

Ferrari’s livery marks 30 years since Schumacher’s first Ferrari win and 20 years since his final season.

Ferrari switches to an all-red scheme, abandoning the white engine cover used since season start. The car numbers echo Schumacher-era typography, with his signature also appearing on the bodywork.

Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton will wear matching race suits. White stripes run down the front and across the shoulders, alongside Schumacher’s logo and seven stars for his seven titles.

Seven white stars on the suits symbolise Schumacher’s seven World Championships.

Schumacher’s Ferrari tenure delivered 72 victories and five consecutive titles from 2000 to 2004. The legacy shapes Ferrari’s identity, explored further in a dedicated Ferrari–Schumacher tribute.

Schumacher won 72 Grands Prix with Ferrari and five straight titles between 2000 and 2004.

The livery brings no performance gain, but it can sharpen focus at home. Ferrari outlines its Monza approach in its Italian GP plans, while prospects at Monza remain a live discussion.

Monza hosts the race on September 6. Supporters will see the tribute at full speed as Leclerc and Hamilton target a result that matches the occasion.

Italian Grand Prix at Monza runs on September 6, 2026.

Beyond sentiment, execution matters. Ferrari must convert the uplift into points during a pivotal home weekend, with attention on operational sharpness and race pace.
