Monza, this is the new Ferrari livery
As we anticipated yesterday with the new blue Ferrari team shirts, the livery for the Italian GP has now been revealed. The new Ferrari livery pay tribute to Niki Lauda’s 1975 championship win and his legendary Ferrari 312 T, which helped secure the title. The retro-style wheel covers perfectly match this celebration of the past—after all, Ferrari has many glorious memories worth honoring.
The white accents on the rear engine cover also fit perfectly, added by the team to pay tribute to the iconic 312 T from 1975. Yes, it’s already been 50 years since that incredible season when the Austrian driver claimed the championship crown. So, what’s you’re opinion about this new Ferrari livery?
Ferrari 312 T history
The 312 T was a single-seater that introduced several innovations, the most important being the new transverse gearbox (hence the “T” in its name). This allowed for better weight distribution and improved balance by centralizing the car’s mass. The engine remained a flat 180° V12, but was upgraded to produce 495 hp at 12,200 rpm, paired with a 5-speed gearbox plus reverse. The cockpit was also moved further forward compared to the previous year’s car.
Among other changes, after the monocoque chassis used in the 312 B3 and B3-74, the 312 T returned to a panelled tubular frame—less expensive and easier to repair or modify. This solution would be used until 1982, when it was finally abandoned.
Debuting at the South African Grand Prix, the third race of the 1975 season—after Ferrari had chosen to run the previous year’s car for the first two rounds—the 312 T went on to win five races that year with Niki Lauda (Monaco, Belgium, Sweden, France, USA) and one with Clay Regazzoni (in Italy). It also claimed three more wins the following season (Lauda in Brazil and South Africa, Regazzoni at the USA-West GP).
Monza 2025
For the Monza GP, Ferrari has planned only a few updates, focusing mainly on aerodynamic efficiency to tackle the circuit’s high-speed nature. The engineers have worked on optimizing the rear wing to reduce drag without compromising stability through the corners.
