Since its debut in the USA in 1958, carbon fibre has revolutionized Formula 1. Scuderia Ferrari HP first used it in 1982 to strengthen their car's chassis, and by 1983, they introduced the first car with a full carbon fibre structure, enhancing safety and durability. Over the years, carbon fibre became essential in F1, used for everything from custom-fit pedals to steering components. By 2014, even gearboxes were made entirely of carbon fibre, highlighting its importance in improving speed and aerodynamics.
At this year's Italian Grand Prix, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz will wear exclusive race suits, t-shirts, caps, and Speedcat Pro race boots, all adorned with a carbon-fibreinspired design that fuses the rich heritage of racing with a sleek, contemporary aesthetic.These feature an all-black base, highlighted by striking accents of yellow—a color deeply entrenched in Scuderia Ferrari HP’s heritage. Yellow also holds significance as the emblematic color of Modena, the city of Enzo Ferrari, selected as the backdrop for the iconic black Prancing Horse.
