For the 2022 Formula One season, which will begin in just a few days, Scuderia Ferrari seems to be able to count on a car that is more competitive car on the track than in the past two years. While we wait to find out exactly just how fast the F1-75 car is, we can admire the splendid livery of Scuderia Ferrari’s 2022 Formula 1 challenger, one of the most beautiful on the grid, and one of the most beautiful designed in Maranello in recent years.
This is a celebratory livery which, like the name, celebrates an important anniversary of the company. John Elkann had announced it when at the beginning of February he revealed the name of this year’s car, an acronym we learned to become familiar with: “This year, as we celebrate the 75th anniversary of our first production car leaving the factory, we honour that spirit by naming our 2022 F1 challenger the Ferrari F1-75.”
So the red and that touch of black are accompanied by a dedicated logo, right where the logo of Mission Winnow once found its place. In such a particular season, Ferrari will offer an even more special version on two occasions. For the Grand Prix that takes place on the streets of the Principality of Monaco; and for the one in Italy which will be held as usual in Monza in the first half of September.

It is certainly not the first time that Ferrari has decided to opt for a special livery. The Maranello team recently did it at Mugello in 2020 to pay homage to its 1000th Grand Prix in Formula 1. A livery which was not exactly lucky given how things went at that moment, but more than referring to some sort of curse linked to the aesthetic aspect, the problem was certainly related to the car. Like in 2011, when Ferrari celebrated the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy.
Up to now we talked about celebratory liveries. But the Maranello team used one-off liveries in the past also to mark less pleasant events. Ferrari did it in 2018 when the everyday life was shaken by the death of Sergio Marchionne. And going back a little further, similar solutions were adopted in 2001 for what happened on 9/11 or in 2005 after the death of Pope John Paul II.
