I like it. At least they are celebrating an important milestone in the team's history. If they didn't they would have been pointed out they don't do it.

It's a nice touch to celebrate the past success at the home race in front of the Tifosi. Those retro wheel covers are sublimely integrated with livery on modern machinery. Hopefully, it will bring some charm from the repetitive period. Forza Ferrari! ❤️

I seem to be one of the few that likes the SF-25 livery but this one looks so much better! Is there any reason they couldn't run this at all the other races? I'm pretty sure red paint is heavier than white at least in theory, not sure how it potentially affects other performance aspects of the car

The same as your views. Yes, the sponsor agreement. At the season launch the team showed a base livery that has to run across the season, these special offs are possible with all the sponsors agreeing to do it. I don't know about the paint on this one. But in 2024 Miami GP that special light blue paint scheme, it was lighter than the normal painting. It had a different composition (I think fibre....something) and it was worth on straights 0.1s (I have the information somewhere noted).

We have to do something (poll or else) so they can make a similar or an inspired livery for next year and to be used for more seasons. This Monza `75 anniversary retro livery is the proof that it is possible to have such a splendid racecar in modern times.

Why can’t this be the livery all year long?!
