Lewis Hamilton will sport a crash helmet at Monza that pays homage to Niki Lauda, on the 50th anniversary of his first F1 drivers' championship.
The Austrian won two titles with the Scuderia, and the first is also being commemorated by the Maranello-based squad at the Italian Grand Prix with a special livery.
Hamilton had a close relationship with Lauda when the three-time F1 drivers' champion was chairman at Mercedes before his passing in 2019.
It is set to be a difficult weekend at the Temple of Speed for the British driver, who will start Ferrari's home grand prix with a five-place grid penalty.
The 40-year-old was found guilty of a double-yellow flag infringement before race start at Zandvoort last weekend, prior to him crashing out of the Dutch Grand Prix.
