Ferrari is carrying high hopes as they approach the upcoming 2024 F1 season. Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, the drivers for the Maranello-based team, have recently been discussing their race suits, building up the excitement for this year’s livery. The team is known for their visually appealing liveries, and it seems that the SF-24 will have a distinct look compared to last year’s SF-23.
Ferrari has shared a video on their social media platforms featuring Leclerc and Sainz discussing the 2024 race suits. However, they cleverly did not reveal the suits themselves on camera. In the video, the duo mentioned, “The black is gone, the white is back,” hinting at the changes in the upcoming season’s design. This tactic keeps the fans intrigued until the official car launch on February 13th.
The anticipation for Ferrari’s performance in the 2024 campaign is sky-high. While Leclerc has a secure future with a long-term contract, Sainz will be leaving Ferrari at the end of the season. The recent signing of by Ferrari has placed Sainz in a challenging position. Leclerc will have the freedom to race without pressure, while Sainz will likely face immense scrutiny as he fights for his F1 career.
It is worth noting that Sainz was the only non-Red Bull driver to win a race last year, making his situation even more difficult. However, he must deliver strong performances to secure a competitive seat for the following year.
