FORMULA ONE giants Ferrari are DITCHING their iconic all-red colours for the Italian Grand Prix at Monza for a bold new look.
Ferrari have made a number of design changes to both their car and driver suits ahead of their home race.
The new design includes yellow on the fin, rear wing, and front wing of the F1 car – along with highlights on the race numbers.
Drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz will be wearing yellow from head to toe.
The splashes of yellow are to celebrate 75 years of their car company.
Yellow is Ferrari’s second colour as it is one of the colours of their home town, Modena.

Ferrari, who haven’t won a race since Austria, will be hoping yellow can bring them better luck.
Their season has been plagued by bad luck so far.
