These include the wireless charging handgrip, thumb rest, and soft-release button, all manufactured and tested in Germany. The camera also comes with a black Microvelour covering that mirrors the texture of a racing steering wheel. Red accents on the soft-release button and one of the thumb rest's function buttons further enhance its motorsport-inspired look. The top plate and lens cap of the camera bear the F1 logo.\n\nIn addition to its distinctive appearance, the Q3 43 Formula 1 Edition includes a rope carrying strap emblazoned with both Leica and Formula 1 branding. The package also features custom packaging with a red inlay. The camera's unique \"Formula 1 Leica Look\" is designed to capture the atmosphere of the racetrack and paddock.
