Ferrari has formally unveiled its new Formula 1 car ahead of the 2022 season, sporting a new red and black livery. Charles Leclerc, Carlos Sainz and Mattia Binotto in Ferrari’s new-look kit.
‘This is an important day for us as we launch our car, the Ferrari F1-75. I must admit that personally, I’m excited about it, as this car is a product of the effort, dedication, and passion of each one of us. It’s down to the work of a group of people who have invested everything in this car, working with courage, creativity, and team spirit,” said Team Principal Mattia Binotto.
“We have a good team of people here who have gone from strength to strength, investing all their skills in this project and I am proud of them. We have tackled the challenges of this project with an innovative approach, because, apart from the requirements of the completely new technical regulations, we believe that we had to take on this exercise with an open mind.”
Ferrari is the seventh team to reveal their 2022 challenger. World champions Mercedes also launched their season on Friday, with Alpine following suit on Monday. Ferrari has implemented a radical nose idea on its 2022 Formula 1 car that could give it the edge in being able to rapidly develop its challenger this season.
They switched attention early to 2022, even introducing a hybrid system late last year that was originally earmarked for its debut this season, and which performed very strongly.
The Scuderia will run the F1-75 for the first time at their Fiorano test track on Friday in Maranello – but will be limited to 15km as it is a demonstration run. They will then run it again in Barcelona on Tuesday, February 22, this time completing 100km on demonstration tyres as part of a filming day.
The cars will hit the track in anger for the first time next week in Spain when three days of pre-season running takes place at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
