The oldest and the most successful team of Formula 1, Ferrari, has lifted the curtains from their new kit in a social media post. The team boasts sixteen constructors’ titles and sits comfortably at the top of the table.
The kit features the sponsors of the team, which includes: Shell, Puma, Santander, RayBan, Pirelli, amongst others. The shirt boasts Ferrari’s traditional and iconic red shade and the horse badge.
The launch of the kit comes a week ahead of their car launch on 17 February 2022. The revelation announcement features their drivers: Spaniard Carlos Sainz and Monégasque Charles Leclerc. The drivers helped Ferrari finish P3 in the Constructors’ Championship of the 2021 season, amassing 323.5 points.
Here’s the new launch:
Fans’ reviews are in on Ferrari’s new kit
The fans believe that the white stripe on Charles Leclerc’s kit is because he belongs to Monaco, while the red stripe on Sainz’s happens to be because he’s Spanish.
Charles got white because of Monaco and Carlos got yellow for Spain?👀

Given the magnitude of the team’s following, the kit would be hard to get hands-on. With plenty of loyal fans waiting to buy, it’s expected to be sold out once it hits the stores. And hopefully, the new kit brings good charm for the team and the fans.
