The way Ferrari‘s season is panning out, they need to do whatever is possible to raise Tifosi’s spirits high. After the disappointing outing in Bahrain, the Scuderia travels to Jeddah today to restart their championship bid. That being said, the early signs as per Practice suggest another long weekend for the team from Maranello. Naturally, the team will use that one ace they have up their sleeves to keep the Tifosi satisfied. That ace being their 25-year-old Monacan driver, Charles Leclerc.

Leclerc has a massive fan following all over Formula 1. However, the bulk of his global fan following is female. And we can’t blame them. Ferrari used exactly this to their advantage as they tried to hype their fans up before Free Practice 3 commenced today at the Jeddah Corniche street circuit. The team posted a video of Leclerc prepping before the session in an ice bath with the Strokes’ Under Cover of Darkness playing in the background. And that shirtless montage of Leclerc was enough to get the Tifosi going.
