happened today the presentation of Ferrari for the 2022 season, the F1-75 – the name is a tribute to Maranello’s eldest daughter, the 125 S dated 1947 – which will have to restore success to the Scuderia that has not won the Drivers’ World Championship since 2007 (with Raikkonen) and that of manufacturers since 2008.

I am personally very excited. a car that is the result of teamwork and I am proud of it, the team principal made his debut Mattia Binotto. The mental approach was the right one.
The main goal is to work together to improve after a difficult year – he said Charles Leclerc -. This season will be crucial for us, expectations are very high for everyone and a lot of work behind it. We will therefore try to achieve great results during the upcoming World Cup.
Carlos Sainz added: I am more ready this season, even if 2021 helped me to adapt to the team. I have learned a lot about the brand and we know that the expectations are high. We will have to work together to try to make a year full of successes. The new car? pretty extreme and I hope it will be fast.
And here is the car, which confirms the rumors of the past few hours: red and with black wings, with high bellies and large shark gills for cooling on the sides. Not just ground effect, then. Inside, the mystery of a redesigned power unit and a brand new combustion chamber. I like it a lot and will love it even more when I’m on the track, he said Leclerc. Very aggressive, beautiful, with those colors that recall history, she continued Sainz.

This is a Ferrari that I want to define as courageous – Binotto continued before concluding -. We wanted to interpret the new regulation in a different way, we know that expectations are high and that the latest results have not lived up to our history. With the F1-75 we want to fight on the track with our rivals in every race, I would like it to be the car that will allow our fans and us to be proud of Ferrari.

Concludes the presentation John Elkann, president of Ferrari: Ferrari is the only team that has been present in all the Formula 1 championships. The F1-75 represents the best of the team’s innovation in view of the new season. We will carry the performance of our machine with the 75 years logo and therefore we have a lot of responsibility on our shoulders. Now everything in the hands of Binotto, Sainz and Leclerc, as well as the whole team. We want to write a new chapter in Formula 1. The passion of our fans is the boost we need and we hope to be strong again this year.

Anticipated by a photo that circulated on the Internet in the past few hours, the new born should be a car very close to the one that will go on track in the first tests scheduled in Barcelona from 23 to 25 February. A different choice from the one made by Red Bull – the team of the world champion, Max Verstappen – which last week presented a sort of mannequin, keeping secret the details of the new car, designed by Adrian Newey.

This is the 68 Ferrari which has been on track in Formula 1 since 1950. In total, the Scuderia has won 15 drivers ‘titles and 16 constructors’ titles, and has won 238 times in 1030 Grand Prix races.
I am 45 GPs without a win for Ferrari: the latest success was that of Sebastian Vettel in Singapore 2019. The hope, of course, that the trend can change, also taking advantage of the regulation change that will start this season. Possible? According to the bookmakers, the Maranello team is the third force of the 2022 World Cup: one of its world championship triumphs is worth 7.5 times the stake, just behind the two great rivals Mercedes and Red Bull, respectively at 1.5 and 3.5.
It will be a pivotal year for the team principal Mattia Binotto and all the technical staff, called to interpret completely different regulations, which therefore forced all the teams to start over from the blank sheet. In Maranello it is said that they took it courageous technical choices. The drivers, filmed in a clip released by the team, seemed to like the car very much: Mamma mia !, the comment of Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc.

The power units will be the sure protagonists in the coming months and here the rumors suggest that the steps forward have been made and how, even risking something on the reliability front at the beginning of the championship. We will see if the recovered horses will be enough to fill the gap with Mercedes (presentation tomorrow) and Red Bull.
