Pictures: Ferrari shares images of $400M worth Hollywood superstar Sylvester Stallone in the team's overalls

Ferrari F1 have shared a throwback post of when Hollywood superstar Sylvester Stallone visited the headquarters of the Italian team in Maranello in 1990. The Prancing Horse is arguably one of the most popular and biggest brands in the world of cars and perhaps projects an aura like no other for fans of motorsport and automobiles.

During the world tour of his upcoming film 'Rocky V', Stallone, whose net worth is $400 million (according to CelebrityNetWorth.com), visited the factory in Maranello to promote the iconic film. He was seen wearing Ferrari overalls and standing alongside one of the most famous cars of all time, the F40.

The Italian team, through their Instagram account, shared pictures of the Hollywood icon, with a caption that read:

"From deep in the archives, what if this had been the F1 film?"

Incidentally, like in the '90s, the Italian team has been struggling to recapture their glory days and fight at the front consistently. Although they still boast the name of old and attract the biggest talents in the sport, the scarlet-hued team have found it difficult to win championships since 2008.

2024 has seen Ferrari experience both glory and struggle in the first half of the season, with two wins and also struggles in four consecutive races.

Ferrari team boss shared team's mood after dismal run post-Monaco

Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur stated that the mood of the team was "OK" after a difficult run in terms of results since its win at the 2024 Monaco GP courtesy of Charles Leclerc.

In his exclusive interview with F1.com, Vasseur said:

“I think so. Internally, the mood is OK. For sure we wanted to get more, and probably we overreacted on some events, trying to get more. When you have an aggressive attitude, sometimes you get less. It’s where we have to stay calm.

“Somehow you need to have a kind of frustration when you’re not doing well because it’s also the best push to come back. It has to stay under control."

The Ferrari team boss added:

"We had four tough weekends [Canada, Spain, Austria, and Britain] – the mood in the team was not good, as it was not what we wanted, but there was positivity about trying to catch up and understand why and fix it. The attitude is good.”

Ferrari were arguably the second-best team behind Red Bull during the first eight races of the season, and won two races, with Leclerc and teammate Carlos Sainz both winning one race each.

But following their dip in form since Canada and a failed upgrade package in Spain, the Italian team have been the fourth-fastest team on track, with Mercedes and McLaren emerging as the closest consistent challengers to the Austrian team.
