Key Features
This exceptional, hand-crafted model, recreates the Scuderia Ferrari SF-24 driven by Carlos Sainz at the 2024 Miami Grand Prix, at 1:8 scale. Perfect for displaying, this intricate piece reflects the striking car, with every detail carefully reproduced.
The SF-24s raced to third and fifth positions by Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, respectively, at Miami International Autodrome on the 5th May 2024.
SF-24 In Action
Scuderia Ferrari’s competitor for the 2024 FIA Formula 1 World Championship season, the SF-24, sought to build on the platform of its predecessor, the race-winning SF-23. In the hands of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, in their sixth and fourth seasons with the team respectively, the SF-24 surpassed the total number of wins, podiums and fastest laps achieved in half as many races as in 2023.
Both Sainz and Leclerc claimed victories (2 and 3, respectively) with the Spaniard winning the Australian Grand Prix despite having only had surgery for appendicitis two weeks earlier, whilst Leclerc became the first Monégasque driver since Louis Chiron to win his home Grand Prix in Monaco. Leclerc also brought the car home first in Italy, in front of thousands of Tifosi and in the US, meanwhile Sainz claimed victory in Mexico City. The SF-24 has also accommodated the debut and first competitive points of reserve driver Oliver Bearman who replaced Carlos Sainz during the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix while the Spaniard underwent treatment.
The 2024 season marked Carlos Sainz's final year with the prancing horse team. During his four seasons with the iconic constructor, he claimed four victories and further 20 podiums finishes.
Miami Special Livery
Both Sainz’s #55 and Leclerc’s #16 cars were adorned in a special livery celebrating the announcement of HP as the new long-term Title Partner of Scuderia Ferrari, featuring two colours from Ferrari’s past: Azzurro La Plata and Azzurro Dino. The former is a lighter blue used as Argentina’s official race colour during the Fifties, and was very similar to two-time World Champion Alberto Ascari’s colour of preference.
In the Sixties, Surtees, Lorenzo Bandini, Ludovico Scarfiotti and Chris Amon all wore blue suits, as did Niki Lauda in his first year with the Scuderia. Azzurro Dino is a much brighter blue that found favour with several Scuderia drivers, most notably Arturo Merzario and Clay Regazzoni during the early Seventies before the red of Philip Morris International became the dominant colour for all Ferrari cars and team members.
The splashes of blue colour were used in combination with white on the wings, the engine cover, the halo, the rear-view mirrors and accenting the race numbers. The wheel rims were featured fully in Azzurro La Plata, evoking memories of the single-seaters and sports cars entered by the American Ferrari importer, Luigi Chinetti, under the N.A.R.T. (North American Racing Team) banner, as well as the blue and white 158 F1 driven World Championship glory by John Surtees and red Ferraris with dark blue stripes.
