Passion
A Very Special Red
It took just one race, the 2022 Formula 1 World Championship opener in the Bahrain desert, for the Ferrari F1-75 to show the world its intentions as a podium winning machine.
The single-seater’s name is as special as the performance, with the ‘75’ a direct reference to the anniversary of the 125 S, the first true Ferrari that left the Maranello gates on March 12th, 1947.

That car was, of course, the same dark burgundy that marked the official colour of all Italian racing cars from the beginning of the 20th century. The 125 F1, which raced three years later at the Monaco Grand Prix was the same colour, and red has gone hand-in-hand with Ferrari ever since. As Enzo himself said, “Ask a child to draw a car, and certainly he will draw it red.”
In the early 1990s almost 85% of Ferraris sported red liveries, with the most famous (and popular) being the Rosso Corsa, which is generally considered the definitive Ferrari colour.
