Ferrari’s social media team had momentarily taken everyone by surprise last evening on social media. The team’s official handles on platforms like Instagram and Twitter uploaded black and white pictures of their drivers’ Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc. “C^2 in black and white,” they wrote but most fans thought at first glance that something terrible had happened and both drivers have passed away.

Carlos Sainz himself was taken by surprise. “I thought this was a RIP on me. But I’m still here”, the Spaniard wrote. Jokes aside, the mood in the Ferrari camp seems to be really good after a decent pre-season outing in Bahrain. However, the team has more work to do if they are to challenge Red Bull for the F1 World Championship title this season.
