Ferrari reveal Schumacher-inspired livery as teams announce rookies for Italian GP Practice
Ferrari has paid tribute to seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher with a bespoke livery for their home race at Monza, drawing on the iconic red-and-white colour scheme from his era. The reveal comes as teams prepare for the Italian Grand Prix weekend, with multiple squads opting to field young or reserve drivers during the opening practice sessions in line with F1 regulations requiring two rookie outings per season. Friday's running will therefore feature a mix of regular race drivers and up-and-coming talent, giving the juniors valuable experience at one of the calendar's most historic circuits.
