Ferrari unveils Schumacher tribute suits for Italian Grand Prix

Ferrari has unveiled special race suits for drivers Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc that pay tribute to seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher, to be worn at the team's home Italian Grand Prix at Monza. The one-off suits, revealed on August 28, 2026, feature the team's iconic red design with white stripes and seven stars on the upper back, representing Schumacher's championship titles. The race weekend is scheduled for September 4-6, 2026.

The tribute marks 30 years since Schumacher's first season with Ferrari in 1996 and 20 years since his first retirement from Formula 1, which followed his victory at the 2006 Italian Grand Prix. Schumacher raced for Ferrari for 11 years, winning five of his seven world titles with the Italian constructor. The special suits also include Schumacher's logo on the hip, and the star design mirrors the style he used on his helmet. Ferrari has indicated that a special car livery for the weekend will be revealed separately.
