Ferrari drivers Carlos Sainz Jr. and Charles Leclerc did their best to identify NFL teams at the Italian Grand Prix

The 2024 NFL season is right around the corner, and fans across the globe are getting ready for the return of football.

That includes our friends over at Ferrari's Formula 1 team.

The team shared a video on social media putting drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Jr. to the test, asking them to differentiate between real and imagined NFL teams. The video was filmed ahead of Leclerc's dramatic victory at the Italian Grand Prix last weekend.

As you can see, the two drivers got off to a solid start, before things started to slip away from them:

To their credit, they both made it clear that the "New York Bagels" were a fictitious NFL team and immediately identified the Dallas Cowboys as a real NFL franchise.

I do wonder about their confidence over the "Denver Mustangs." And our dear friend J.P. Acosta might be wounded over both drivers calling the Jacksonville Jaguars a fake franchise.

Although, that might support J.P.'s decision at the start of the season to be a McLaren fan.
