Classic red livery, crossed by white and yellow bands, while the shades of black decrease. These are the first images of the new SF-24, the single-seater entrusted to Charles Leclerc And Carlos Sainz for the 2024 Formula 1 season starting on March 2 in Bahrain.
The SF-24 was presented in Fiorano, in the presence of a small number of guests, and in online connection with the rest of the world. Among those present were president John Elkann, CEO Benedetto Vigna and vice president Piero Ferrari, as well as team principal Fred Vasseur and the drivers.
The SF-24 is the third car of the new generation ground effect introduced two years ago by Formula 1, but also sees a discontinuity in the shapes. White has been reintroduced after the success achieved last year by the special bodywork seen in Las Vegas, while yellow has always been the second color of Ferrari but the longitudinal stripes were missing from the livery from 1968 and they had never been paired with the white ones.
The shade of red is Racing Red 2024, opaque. Black is limited to the bottom of the car, the front bulkheads, part of the halo and other details. The rims are also red with a double white and yellow stripe, colors that also characterize the race numbers – 16 and 55 – which continue to be in Ferrari Sans, the official font of the Maranello company, but now in italics.
