Ferrari have revealed new special race suits that drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz will wear at the Las Vegas Grand Prix later this month.

The inaugural event at the Las Vegas Street Circuit promises to be a fantastic event, with the 20 Formula 1 cars racing around the streets and under the lights of one of the most famous cities in the world.

While the event has split the locals, as well as Max Verstappen who recently said it was 'more for the show than the racing', there is much excitement among drivers.

And Leclerc and Sainz are poised to hurtle through Sin City in style.

Their delight with the new design was tangible, with Leclerc saying, "Mamma Mia!"

“Mamma miaaaaa” 😅
