Carlos Sainz will drive a Ferrari Formula 1 car for the first time next week. He will do so during a film day at the Fiorano circuit. A special moment, one he doesn't want to let pass without a fight.

He has therefore decided to continue the tradition of Sebastian Vettel and give his car a name. Whereas the German was always very inventive with the names he gave to his car, Sainz still suffers from a bit of writer's block.

Vettel's 'harem

Familiar names from Vettel's repertoire are: Luscious Liz, Kinky Kylie and Hungry Heidi. Cars with which he became world champion. Last year, Vettel's SF1000 was called 'Lucilla', a name he does not have fond memories of.

So Vettel liked a bit of alliteration and to help Sainz on his way, here is a suggestion: 'Foxy Fiona!' If you have a better suggestion, let us know in the comments.
