Ferrari today is associated with the color red, but founder Enzo Ferrari originally chose yellow.
Contrary to popular belief, Enzo Ferrari didn't always intend for his race cars to be red.
When he first established the Scuderia Ferrari race team, he originally chose yellow, as the bright hue, together with blue, features on the coat of arms of his Modena birthplace, which is also the home of the car company Ferrari. However, around the time of the founding of the race team, the then International Association of Recognized Automobile Clubs set red as the official color of Italian racing cars, and as a result Ferrari went along with it and chose red for his race cars, which incidentally were actually Alfa Romeos. Scuderia Ferrari was established in 1929, well before the Ferrari car company was established in 1947.Ferrari still kept yellow for the logo of Scuderia Ferrari.
The logo made its debut on the Scuderia Ferrari's Alfa Romeos entered in the 1932 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, with Ferrari drivers Antonio Brivio and Eugenio Siena ending up winning the race. The logo has featured on Ferrari cars ever since. To mark the connection with yellow, as well as this year's 100th anniversary of the Monza circuit, Ferrari's Formula 1 team will feature a splash of the color for this weekend's Italian Grand Prix, which will take place at Monza. The color will feature on the car liveries as well as the race suits and helmets of drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.
