Green on Ferrari's SF21 was decided at the last minute, say Sainz and Leclerc

A video of Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc appeared on Twitter after the SF21 launch in which they give their honest opinion about the already controversial green detail on the otherwise classic red Ferrari.

"I like it," begins Leclerc when asked for his opinion on the team's new car. "The colour is nice, a lot darker compared to last year."

"And the green. We didn't expect that" Sainz then admits. "It was an adjustment that was made at the last minute." Leclerc acknowledges this: "Yes right. It was changed last minute. I must admit it's taking some getting used to, seeing the green on the car."

Shell, one of the Italian racing team's main sponsors, also seemed to implicitly let their opinion of the striking Mission Winnow logo shine through. Indeed, the photos of the SF21 that the company posted on Twitter were clearly missing the green detail. Truly a last-minute change, then.
