#1 Modern F1 Ferrari- Monza 2001
It happened in Monza 2011, The Ferrari team made a statement that their 2 cars will run in plain red livery at this weekend's Italian Grand Prix as a mark of respect after the recent terrorist attack in US. The team stripped off all the sponsorship stickers and brands from its cars and painted the nose of the car in black color as a tribute to the people after the deadly 9/11 attacks in the city of New York which took away the life of around 3000 people.
The team issued the following statement "Ferrari has taken the decision to show that it shares a sense of grief with the American people, with whom it has always felt close ties. Therefore, this weekend, for the Italian Grand Prix, with the full agreement of its sponsors and suppliers, as a mark of respect, its cars will carry no logos relating to its commercial and technical partners. For Ferrari and for its partners, Sunday's race will be a purely sporting event with no commercial implications, nor will it be a joyful event."
This action of Ferrari was widely appreciated.
