Scuderia Ferrari will compete in the upcoming Italian Grand Prix at Monza with a special car livery honoring Michael Schumacher. The design features seven stars on the nose to commemorate the driver’s seven Formula 1 world championships. Ferrari historically adopted red as its signature color due to early international racing regulations that assigned red to Italian manufacturers. While the team is synonymous with the Rosso Corsa shade, it has occasionally experimented with other colors, including a notable departure to blue and white during the final two races of the 1964 season. The team currently uses a lighter shade known as Rosso Scuderia, which is designed to appear more vibrant on television broadcasts. This weekend's commemorative appearance precedes the race at the Temple of Speed.
