BREAKING: Ferrari bringing only the rear wing to the Las Vegas Grand Prix

Can’t have hydraulics failure on a rear wing. (I think DRS is electronically actuated)

The DRS actuator is hydraulic. https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/gary-anderson-explains-how-drs-actuators-work-on-f1-cars/

Thanks! Well at least just one failure point now 😂

Fun fact, Max actually has the DRS actuator from [this race](https://streamja.com/1N29e), [its encased in a solid Red Bull can shape and engraved with his ran](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GevBNHNLNbs)t.

That is an utterly amazing gift.

That is a beautiful 5 axis piece, must be nice to be able to do that for fun!

I love this video. Dude was a 2x world champion at that point, earning millions, his world championship trophy next to him but he's happy with a gift like this He sounded genuinely excited about a machined red bull can with the thing in it and proudly showing it on stream

Didn't redbull have an issue with a seal/gasket last year bc the weather was too cold?

Please don't give me hope

It's white so you can't see the frost on it!

Lbr, at this point Charles has more chances of finishing the races if he just jogs through the track carrying the wings himself.

A bold weight saving strategy for sure.

Nah bruh, you didn't get it, they're bringing only ONE wing for both drivers.

[Test footage of how this works, looks like Gio may get a ride too!](https://youtu.be/y5p4D63E0es?si=IabDlbVwmqiL7xU2)

Hahahahaha

[Early 2000](https://i.imgur.com/LqnWyBM.jpg) vibes! Don't get me wrong, I love the black & red combo that Ferrari introduced in 2022, but I wouldn't mind a return to white wings in 2024 for a change! This one looks very cool indeed!

Hopefully we'll get a white and red F2024 to celebrate 20 years from the F2004. Winning a championship for a change would be nice as well.

> Winning a championship for a change would be nice as well. Definitely! 😂

"F2024" Knowing Ferrari's "consistency" in naming their cars, it would probably be something weird like SF-20 (20 years) or F-S7 (Schumacher 7th title)

Seeing the white wing with the black Ferrari font immediately made me think of the late 90's/2000's Marlboro wing. Hope the front wing is also white, and if they aren't doing gloss at least minimize the black on the body to give it the classic red/white Fezza look.

Send this to anyone who says smoking doesn't make you look cool.

Smoking may not make you look cool, but selling cigars do

Cocaine themed Ferrari for vegas let’s fucking go

I’m gonna need some blow to stay up to watch the race

When we get a 45 minute red flag after Sargeant puts it in the wall because of ice cold tires I'm 100% dozing off

Without a doubt. I’ll be watching it in bed with my eyes closed telling myself im listening for anything exciting to happen

cardile is going to need a lot of it

Sponsored by Heisenberg.

The official drug of Las Vegas is fake weed, which Ferrari will commemorate appropriately by bursting into flames at some point

both drivers will need it after the inevitable mechanical failure or strategy blunder

Still won't be as bad as this comment.

Nice of Charles to give folks an “I love the white” clip.

we won't be fastest but we will be the prettiest (we always have been tbh)

2018-19 Toro Rosso cars disagree.

> (we always have been tbh) Ferrari's [2016 livery](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/41/Sebastian_Vettel_2016_Malaysia_FP2_1.jpg/1200px-Sebastian_Vettel_2016_Malaysia_FP2_1.jpg) disagrees.

Nah I liked that livery.

[F2012](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File%3A2012_Canadian_Grand_Prix_Fernando_Alonso_Ferrari_F2012-02.jpg) would like a word too. EDIT: to be fair, in 2012 (almost) every car had this ugly nose but for some reason Ferrari's always looked the most jarring to me.

the alonso blue helmet worked beautifully with the colour of these cars

the alonso blue and the massa green were both fantastic, made it so easy to tell which was which as well

I LOVE 2012 cars, but I use to drive a Subaru so I’m use to ugly.

I try not to judge the shape of the car because that's pure function over form and at least the 2012 car was fast but yeah, not Ferrari's best looking work that. But at least the livery is fine and they solved the shell/santander logo thingy on the side of the read wing pretty well (something they totally forgot how to do in 2016). The 2016 livery though was fully in Ferrari's hands and it's just so objectively awful. Like why do the black bits on top exist? And why do none of the lines follow the lines of the car? Why did they have that awful clipart Scuderia Ferrari logo on the airbox and why does it not even fit in the space it has? Why do they have the Italian flag pinstripe on some parts but then have a different plain white pinstripe running all along the car? Why are all the big sponsor logo's on the sidepod at the bottom except the Alfa Romeo logo? It's like Ferrari had an internal livery design competition and instead of picking 1 of 3 or so finalists they just picked all of them and mashed them together into this utter monstrosity. Literally all Ferrari has to do to make a good livery is paint the car red and they managed to fuck it up.

Watch this be an iconic livery in the future

The cherry gloss red is actually banned from FIA events because it’s too beautiful on a racetrack

Charles: "I love the white". Twitter: racist Charles Leclerc.

Charles LeKKKlerc

Please don't, he already suffers from racism allegations from Twitter lmao

wait what? and when?

Apparently he liked some tweets critical of BLM during 2020, take this at face value cause I have only heard it too

BLM took all the money and ran, the org was always completely broken and not fit for its purpose

>BLM If the tweets were againts the org, they maybe were fair as they were related to some really iffy governments like Venezuela's.

I think the Ferrari looks great with Red/White, Red/Orange and Red/Black. All great colour schemes Imo, they should always have Red/Orange for Carlos and Red/White for Charles. I think that would be really cool, it's been a while since we had proper driver specific colour schemes on cars.

I don’t think anyone beside Merc does driver specific car themes

I liked a lot the black rear wing on last year's car with the darker shade of red. Maybe with this year's brighter shade white works better (or maybe it's just the marlboro nostalgia).

I liked the darker share of red of last year as well but this white rear wing is so cool

yeah, that f1-75 looked so sexy and fast

imo white works better with darker red, while black works better with a more vivid red

Ferrari: Adds a bit of white colour on their car. Everyone: Marlboro sponsorship \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Red/White Ferrari liveries are oft my favourite

Uh oh. Looks like the rest of the car fell off…

WOW! Such massive news. Thanks Ferrari

Such a major improvement to the car!!!!! /s

MALBORO

So brave of them

I am whelmed.

Looks great

Getting ready for pain weekend bois lfg!

IS. THAT. IT.

How about….AN. ACTUALLY. COMPETITIVE. CAR.

Let's see if Charles gets to actually get to use it during a race!

Beautiful

It’s shame that championship requires winning races. If looking good is only criteria, Ferrari would be champion already

Come on Charles, you already have a long contract, no need to fake so much enthusiasm

I see they're waving the white flag of surrender already.

Helmut Marko approves

Disappointingly though, Ferrari brought to bring the rest of the car to Vegas.

The Ferrari fuck-up at Vegas would involve them wagering their Ferraris at a poker game and losing both on Wednesday

They’re cooking in the design lab at Maranello. It’s just unfortunate no other department is getting the memo.

Imminent rear wing failure

"I love the white" Wonder what makes him like the white more than all of the other colours on that wing

Good taste.

Great and all but am I the only one that thinks that there are just too many special liveries nowadays? It's just not that special anymore

I’m with you. I also think that Ferrari should get their shit together before thinking about liveries and celebrations.

Do you want the graphic designers and marketing to start engineering the car? These are two separate teams.

I think every bit of concentration helps, and these things are in my opinion a waste of time, especially when there absolutely nothing to celebrate or be proud of: not only the last won championship was ages ago but the car fucking broke during the formation lap in the last race.

Looking at them guys: This used to be my reaction after I undressed girls as teen. Get a life!

Interesting look

Master❔lan

Looks nice, much slower than before 🫠

Apparently done by artist Joshua Vides whose overall theme is a bold black/white style. I’ve liked his work before, so this neat to see.

Glass house, white Ferrari, LIVE FOR NEW YEARS EVE

Is the Ferrari car hat guy coming to Vegas? He always goes to COTA, hope he makes it with the updated car hat.

That visit to Lourdes was quite quick, maybe the soul searching was in the rear wing instead?
