Enzo Ferrari famously said that if you ask any child to draw a race car, it will inevitably be red. But for Italian kids of the 1970s—now well into their fifties—the answer was even more specific: the Ferrari 312 T. For an entire generation, that was the race car. Red with white accents, the tricolor stripe, and Niki Lauda’s signature in cursive. It brought Ferrari its first championship in 11 years and marked the start of an epic saga—Lauda’s dominance, the Nürburgring tragedy, the drama at Fuji in 1976, and redemption in 1977. The perfect story climaxed at Monza in 1975: Regazzoni won, Lauda finished third, and Ferrari celebrated the title in front of a jam-packed crowd. For many, that was the birth of modern Formula 1, and the dawn of a new Ferrari era. Fifty years later, history echoes with uncanny symmetry: it was September 7 then, and it will be September 7 again this Sunday. To honor that milestone, Ferrari will run a SF-25 dressed as a 312 T, complete with period-correct red, white, and blue livery, grey aluminum-style rear wing, and large number panels. Drivers will also join the tribute: Lewis Hamilton, who considered Lauda a mentor at Mercedes, will wear a special helmet, suit, and shoes inspired by 1975. Even the retro rectangular Ferrari logo will replace the modern shield. All of it designed to stir memories, hopes, and expectations for what remains Ferrari’s most important race of the year—the one that, like a derby for a struggling team, could yet salvage the season.
