The Maranello team is preparing an emotional and very special home round in Monza. Marking 30 years since the seven-time champion’s first season defending the Italian team, it will bring not only a special design for the SF-26 but Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc will have special suits and kits for the days of activities.
Therefore, the car will have a design inspired by the F310 driven by Schumacher and Eddie Irvine in the 1996 season, the German’s first with Ferrari and also the year of his first victory with the team.
In fact, to tease the tifosi’s curiosity, it has already brought some images of what can be seen in Italy. On the duo’s suits, seven white stars on the back represent the seven titles won by the driver – five were with Ferrari between the 2000 and 2004 seasons.
