via f1technical.netWhat do the telemetry numbers reveal about Ferrari's engine upgrade?Ferrari's latest engine upgrade debuted at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza, showing promising early performance, particularly with Charles Leclerc finishing second-fastest in FP2.

via Formula1.comRosso Corsa: Why Ferrari race in red – and when they haven’tScuderia Ferrari is synonymous with the color red, having a rich history tied to Italy's national racing colors. The team has achieved remarkable success in Formula 1, including 16 Constructors' Championships, and continues to honor its legacy with special liveries, such as the one commemorating Michael Schumacher's 1996 Monza victory. The iconic red shade, known as Rosso Corsa, has evolved over the years, but Ferrari has occasionally strayed from it, most notably in 1964 when they raced in blue as a form of protest.
Throughout its history, Ferrari has utilized various colors for its cars, including yellow and green, but red remains the hallmark of the brand. The team's commitment to this color reflects its heritage and connection to Italian motorsport. As they prepare for the 2026 Italian Grand Prix, Ferrari's return to a classic red livery highlights the enduring significance of this color in their identity.

via grandprix.comBearman gets Haas's only upgraded Ferrari engineOliver Bearman will be the only Haas driver to race with the upgraded Ferrari engine at the upcoming Italian Grand Prix, while Esteban Ocon will use the previous engine specification. This decision was made by team principal Ayao Komatsu, who noted that Ocon had received new components on two prior occasions, and the allocation is aimed at balancing the season's opportunities rather than favoring one driver over the other.
Both drivers will benefit from a significant aerodynamic update, although the impact of the engine difference will be more pronounced at Monza due to its unique layout and demands on engine performance. Ocon has acknowledged that the older engine will result in a performance deficit, and while he will eventually receive the upgraded engine, the current setup will provide a clear comparison of the two power units during the race weekend.

via RaceFansOn This Day: Scarfiotti grabs home win for Ferrari at Monza as Brabham takes title | BriefOn September 4, 1966, Ludovico Scarfiotti achieved a significant milestone by winning the Italian Grand Prix, marking the last occasion an Italian driver has won this prestigious race.
