MARANELLO, Italy – Officials from Scuderia Ferrari revealed the team’s latest Formula 1 race car, the F1-75, during a digital launch event Thursday.
Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Jr. will again drive for Ferrari during the upcoming Formula 1 season, which marks the debut of a new set of regulations that have been designed to promote closer racing within the field.
“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 challenged 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 becomes the seventh team to reveal its race car for the upcoming season. Mercedes, the defending constructor’s champions, will debut its next F-1 race car on Friday. Alpine will follow suit on Monday.
Pre-season testing is slated to begin next weekend in Barcelona, Spain.
