“I should call my girlfriend”: Charles Leclerc & Carlos Sainz engage in hilarious banter over blue Ferrari shirts

Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz had a hilarious exchange about their blue shirts and girlfriends during the 2024 F1 Miami GP. The humorous banter took place during an interview with Motorsport.com where they promoted Ferrari's special blue livery and apparel line.

Though Ferrari has always been known for its striking red color, the legendary F1 team wore complete blue overalls and drove a blue Ferrari in the last two US races back in 1964. Hence, in 2024, they celebrated the 60th anniversary of that event by wearing completely blue overalls and bringing a special livery to Miami.

After the Motorsport.com interview ended, both Ferrari drivers hilariously discussed whether they should keep the new blue shirts buttoned or unbuttoned. Sainz hilariously asked Leclerc whether he was allowed to be shirtless on camera. In response, the Monegasque hilariously replied that he needed to check with his girlfriend about it.

The Spanish driver then showed how he was wearing a plain white t-shirt underneath Ferrari's blue shirt, allowing him to unbutton the shirt.

"Are you sure you're allowed to be shirtless?" questioned Sainz.

"I should call my girlfriend to see if I'm allowed, but I think she's fine," joked Leclerc.

The banter continued as Carlos Sainz added that he would report to Charles Leclerc's girlfriend if he revealed too much of himself.

"Make sure you don't show too much or I'll report you to your girlfriend," Sainz added.

"You already reported," concluded Leclerc.

"The cap. The cap is amazing. I love the retro logo that we took from back in the day. I love the color, I love the little code there, the small details that I think looks really cool. But I think the whole collection looks amazing, but if I have to choose, I would go for the cap," Leclerc said.
