Mercedes is to honour Ferrari on the occasion of its 1,000th grand prix this weekend by running a red safety car.

For 25 seasons, a Mercedes road car has been used by the FIA as the safety car, with the silver-clad AMG GT R deployed these past three years.

But as a sign of respect from F1's most dominant team, it has opted to mark its main rivals' history-making race by giving the car a makeover and going for all red for the Tuscan Grand Prix at Mugello.
