Ferrari have revealed a special one-off livery honouring seven-time World Champion Michael Schumacher for this weekend's Italian Grand Prix, marking 30 years since the German's arrival at Maranello.
The SF-26 cars driven by Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton will carry a design inspired by the F310 that Schumacher piloted during his debut Ferrari season in 1996. The predominantly red livery incorporates white and black elements along with gold-tinted wheels.
Schumacher's personal logo will appear on the car, while the nose will display seven stars referencing his helmet design.
Both Leclerc and Hamilton will wear bespoke helmets, race suits, gloves and shoes for the weekend.
Ferrari have dubbed the initiative Sunday Rituals. The tribute marks 20 years since Schumacher's final victory for the team at the 2006 Italian Grand Prix.
Schumacher joined Ferrari in 1996 and won 72 grands prix over 11 seasons, claiming five consecutive drivers titles between 2000 and 2004.
Three of Schumacher's Ferrari cars will be present at Monza: the F310, the F2002, and the 248 F1. Barrichello will drive the F2002 on Saturday, while Vettel will take it for a commemorative lap on Sunday.
