The SF-24 made its competitive debut in the Bahrain Grand Prix where Carlos Sainz Jr. secured the team's first podium of the season finishing in third.

He was required to undergo surgery for appendicitis; replacing him was Ferrari reserve driver Oliver Bearman, who qualified eleventh and finished seventh.

The race finished under the safety car following a last lap accident by George Russell, driving for Mercedes.

The HP branding was introduced in a one-off livery for the race featuring "Azzurro La Plata" and "Azzurro Dino", marking Ferrari's 70th anniversary in the United States, and was applied to the base livery in the following race at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, where the team also introduced an upgrade.

Leclerc won the Italian Grand Prix after completing a one-stop strategy, Ferrari's first victory at Monza since 2019.

In the race, Leclerc was able to avoid a scrap between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris on Lap 1, and moved into first from a start of 4th on the grid.
