Ferrari is facing high expectations as they approach the 2024 F1 season. The anticipation for the upcoming season has already begun to build. Recently, Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz hinted at the colors of this year’s livery by discussing their race suits.
Ferrari is known for creating visually appealing liveries, and based on the comments made by Leclerc and Sainz, it seems that the SF-24 will have a distinct look compared to last year’s SF-23.
Ferrari shared a video on their social media platforms featuring Leclerc and Sainz discussing the 2024 race suits, although the suits were not shown to the camera. The duo stated, “The black is gone, the white is back.” This playful tactic by the Italian team is meant to keep fans intrigued until they unveil their car on February 13th. There is a great deal of anticipation surrounding Ferrari’s performance in the 2024 season.
Despite the excitement generated by Leclerc and Sainz, their campaigns this year will be quite different. Leclerc has secured his future with a long-term contract, while Sainz will be leaving Ferrari at the end of 2024.
Sainz’s position has become challenging due to the recent signing of by Ferrari. Leclerc will have the freedom to race without any pressure, while Sainz will likely face immense scrutiny as he competes for his F1 career.
This situation is particularly harsh considering that Sainz was the only non-Red Bull driver to win a race last year. However, he has no choice but to perform well in order to secure a competitive seat for next year.
