    Ferrari has launched its new Carbon Fiber collection ahead of the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, and fans are buzzing about it on social media.

    The unveiling video features drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz showcasing the fresh black and yellow design, which stands out from Ferrari's traditional red.

    While the SF-24 F1 car wasn't shown in the video, this striking color scheme is expected to make an appearance on the track this weekend.

    Leclerc emphasized the significance of carbon fiber in Formula 1, sparking curiosity about how the material's texture was replicated in the clothing line.

    Reactions from fans have been mixed. Some are enthusiastic about the new look, while others have raised concerns about the color choices.

    Then another example of criticism:

    A few fans are already asking where they can purchase the new gear like this:

    Then others humorously compared the drivers' outfits to delivery uniforms:

    Last weekend, both Ferrari drivers finished in the top five at the Dutch Grand Prix, with Leclerc taking third and Sainz finishing fifth. Speaking about the surprising race result, Leclerc told the media on Sunday:

    “[I’m] very, very surprised.

    “I’m not very often happy with P3, but I think with today’s race we can be extremely happy with the job we’ve done on a difficult weekend for the team.

    “We’ve been struggling from Friday until the race. In the race we found some more pace, executed a perfect strategy, we undercut two of our competitors and then we managed to keep them behind. So a really strong race for the team – [I’m] really happy to start the second half [of the season] like this.”

    Sainz also added “It was a bit of a surprise for me, I’m not going to lie.

    “Our best predictions of our damage limitation today was P7, P8, so to actually make it to P5 is better than expected.

    “I would have never expected to be able to pass a Red Bull and a Mercedes at a track like this, but it’s true that our pace today was really, really strong. I felt very at home in the car since the laps to the grid and I at least thought that we might have a chance to make a bit of a comeback. So yeah, I enjoyed that one.”

    Despite the challenges faced during the race weekend, their performance has set a positive tone as they head into Monza.
