"Why four? Well, simply considering the new rules, one power unit for two grands prix, we want to do two sequences of two grands prix. Then we are going to start from Spain with the new car."
Ferrari dominated last year with the F2004, winning both the drivers' and constructors' titles, in total scoring 262 points, more than double that of BAR-Honda, who finished second in the manufacturers' championship.
Ferrari also won 15 of the 18 races.
In 2005, there is no change in terms of the driver line-up, with both Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello remaining on board, while Luca Badoer will continue to head up the test team, joined by former Williams tester, Marc Gene.
The presentation will begin at 11.00 am local time.
