It’s a bit strange looking at yourself in the mirror without the red,” Charles shared about the new livery. “Happy to be racing this historical colour for Ferrari, and I really like my helmet too. Hopefully [this track] will be a bit better, I’m a bit more optimistic for this year,” Carlos said. Charles and Carlos were also seen throwing a football around with some of their fellow F1 drivers. Ahead of the race this weekend, Charles also opened up about the progress of their team this year so far. “I think we’ve been in a very good moment for the team – we are in a good spiral. Fred has always shared with me what was his medium- to long-term vision of the team. I have shared with him what I thought also was the right thing,” he told press. “It’s going really, really well, I’m really happy with how it goes,” Charles continued. “I think we are in a good place to attract the best people in the world. However, I have said it already, but we are a really, really good team already. In the last seven to eight months we have done incredible progress.” This weekend’s race schedule officially begins on Friday (May 3), with Practice 1 at 12:30 ET, followed by Sprint Qualifying at 4:30pm ET. The Sprint race will take place on Saturday at 12pm ET with race Qualifying later that day at 4pm ET. The Miami Grand Prix will then begin on Sunday (May 5) at 4pm ET.
