Next week’s race weekend is highly anticipated. Not only because the Las Vegas Grand Prix has proven it can deliver excitement, but also because Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz could drive a Ferrari single-seater with a rather special livery.
The Maranello team could indeed pay tribute to the upcoming release of the second *Gladiator* movie, set to hit theaters more than twenty years after the original film starring Russell Crowe. The Italian side has posted a countdown on social media, set to end on November 15, when they will likely reveal the new color scheme for the SF-24.
After last year’s white livery, which was very popular among the Scuderia’s fans, Ferrari may present a car at Vegas that will capture the hearts of enthusiasts.
Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc aim high
Speaking with Sky Sports at the film premiere, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz talked about Ferrari’s expectations for the Las Vegas weekend. “I saw memes on social media saying they named the street where I had my accident last year after me, but unfortunately, that’s not the case,” said Carlos Sainz. The Spaniard had to serve a penalty last year after being forced to replace several parts due to a pothole explosion when he passed over it during the race.
“I hope to get back what was taken from me last year. We had the chance to win, but I was unfairly penalized for something that wasn’t our fault,” Carlos Sainz added. “Let’s see if we can get some satisfaction this year.” – the future Williams driver pointed out.
Charles Leclerc also expressed optimism ahead of the last American race of the season. “On paper, this is a track that should suit our car. We’ve improved a lot in tire management, and this could make a difference on a circuit where it’s difficult to get the tires up to temperature.” – the Monegasque driver concluded ahead of the upcoming round of the 2024 Formula 1 season, which is scheduled to take place at the 6.2-kilometre Las Vegas Strip Circuit in Nevada, USA.
