On 13 September 2020, Ferrari contested its 1,000th Formula 1 world championship Grand Prix. The milestone came at Mugello during the Tuscan Grand Prix, with the team marking the occasion through a special burgundy colour scheme.
A landmark Ferrari appearance at Mugello
The darker livery distinguished the cars of Charles Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel from Ferrari’s usual contemporary red. It gave the anniversary a visible connection to the team’s early racing identity.
The race itself brought a modest points return. Leclerc finished eighth and Vettel tenth, putting both Ferraris in the final points-paying positions without challenging for victory.
That separation between the historical celebration and the competitive result is central to the occasion. Mugello marked the scale of Ferrari’s participation in the championship, even during a difficult season on track.
A Ferrari one-two at Monza on 13 September 1998
The same calendar date had delivered a much stronger race result in 1998. Michael Schumacher won the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, with Eddie Irvine completing a Ferrari one-two.
Schumacher’s victory and Irvine’s second place gave the home crowd an emphatic team result. Together, the Monza and Mugello anniversaries show two different ways Ferrari history is measured: through race achievements and through milestones in the team’s long championship presence.
