To celebrate the 1,000th Grand Prix in Formula 1, Scuderia Ferrari has decided to dress Charles Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel’s SF1000s in a livery with the Rosso in the shade used in 1950. The historic recall will be one of the distinctive elements of the Tuscan GP which will take place over the weekend, as Formula One will compete at Mugello on the track owned by the Cavallino. And we should expect more surprises, according to Motorsport Italy.
Ferrari changes color. And goes back to the past. To remember that red with which the Scuderia had made its debut in the F1 world championship in 1950 at the Monaco GP.
A change of livery that will serve to celebrate the 1000th GP of the Cavallino team: an event that will take place right at Mugello, the track owned by Maranello on the occasion of the GP of Tuscany – Ferrari 1000.
The glorious history of a myth will take over the (desolating) news: at Mugello there will be public for the first time this Covid season, albeit in a limited number (2,800 people a day divided over three stands). Ferrari Club fans are expected after exorbitant ticket prices have been halved.
At the Racing Department they will have to work to prepare the cars for the 1000th GP: Charles Leclerc’s incident has certainly disrupted the plans, because before painting the body of the Monegasque it will be necessary to understand if the chassis will have to be repaired or replaced, because the crash at over 220km / h was a major one and could have consequences for its reuse.
Sebastian Vettel seems to have raced in Monza with the body that had been changed, because that of Belgium has already been sent to the body shop to get a new darker color. If nothing else, this disappointing SF1000 will have a reason to be remembered.
