The Maranello-based Ferrari Formula 1 team will run a Niki Lauda (late) tribute livery to celebrate 50 years since Lauda's championship triumph with the team back in 1975. The SF-25 has taken inspiration from Lauda's Ferrari 312T, which he drove during that F1 season.

At the Dutch Grand Prix, the Brit was found in breach of double-waved yellow flags during the pre-race reconnaissance laps. In line with this, a specific section of the report issued by the stewards was as follows, via F1:

"We did not consider that a 20kph reduction in speed at a double waved yellow sector constituted reducing speed ‘significantly’. We also did not consider the speed at which the driver entered the pit entry road as being at a ‘greatly’ reduced speed.

"The penalty guidelines for such an infringement would ordinarily attract a penalty of 10 grid positions at the next race. However, given that the driver had made an attempt to reduce his speed and to brake earlier, we took that into account as mitigating circumstances and imposed a five grid place penalty."

After the first 15 rounds of the 2025 F1 season, Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc sit in 6th and 5th position, respectively. At this week's home Grand Prix of Ferrari, both drivers will look to make a strong comeback from the disappointment of the Dutch GP.
