After unveiling the brand new Kit black and yellow for Monza, the time has come for Ferrari to also reveal the colors of the SF-24 on the occasion of the Italian Grand Prix. Let's see what the special livery of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz's Ferrari looks like for Monza. Waiting to find out what updates and new features will be introduced in the temple of speed.
Black & Yellow? The clue in the first images of the drivers kit
Yellow, white, blue, and now black? Ferrari always knows how and when to attract attention to get people talking about it. On the occasion of the Italian Grand Prix, the home team is ready to show off some decidedly aggressive colors in Monza. The yellow recalls Modena, the black the iconic horse but also carbon fibre. But how extreme is the look change for the SF-24?
On social media Charles leclerc and Carlos Sainz have revealed new racing suits and a kit to celebrate their home race, in Monza. The last time Ferrari brought something new was to Miami, with tracksuits and kits in two shades of blue. Precisely on that occasion everyone assumed they would also see a completely blue SF-24. But the team limited itself to a few details. In this case the Ferrari collection called 'Monza Carbon Fibre' mainly features black, with some yellow details. A color that we certainly see prevail on various single-seaters, in particular Alpine which has reduced the paint on its single-seaters to the bare bones, to make room for Carbon Fibre.
Details of the Ferrari SF-24 livery for Monza
The SF-24 for Monza will not be total black, on the contrary it will maintain the classic 2024 livery. The only difference will concern the pilots' numbers colored black with a yellow outline instead of white.
As stated on the Scuderia's website: “Scuderia Ferrari HP together with some of its partners on the occasion of the Italian Grand Prix in Monza decided to celebrate what represents the state of the art in the construction of racing cars: fiber of carbon, a material that stands out above all for its lightness and resistance which have allowed us to make exceptional progress also in terms of safety. For this reason, both SF-24s will have a small touch dedicated to the chosen theme: the numbers 16 and 55 on the bodywork will not, as usual, be in white edged in yellow, but in carbon look, specifically chosen to highlight the woven textures and natural reflections of carbon fiber. However, the accessories of this weekend will certainly stand out the most, and therefore suits, helmets, shoes and glasses, all inspired by this material.”
What to expect from Ferrari in Monza?
Ferrari started this second part of the season on the right foot, finding a very important podium in Zandvoort thanks to an excellent performance from Charles Leclerc. The Monegasque himself had lowered his expectations on the eve of the race after qualifying in Holland, speaking of a race in defense rather than attack, also due to the nature of the circuit. In Monza, new challenges await the home team, intent on bringing updates to recover the gap lost with the other three top teams. If McLaren seems to be the main candidate for victory, everything is still open with Red Bull and especially Mercedes. The updates should be able to allow Ferrari to fill the gap, especially in qualifying, the Achilles' heel of the Maranello team this season. The changes should concern in particular the bottom of the car, but also the bellies and wings.
The next three races will be fundamental for the Rossa, in particular Monza and Singapore, two circuits that can enhance the SF-24, provided that the team manages to bring it into the optimal operating window.
