Ferrari’s new 2022 F1 car to make track debut in demo run at Fiorano

The Italian manufacturer unveiled the F1-75 on Thursday afternoon as it goes into this season looking for its first Formula 1 title since 2008.

The F1-75 has a striking, dark red and black livery with an aggressive aero design.

Binotto confirmed that the F1-75’s first run out will simply be classed as a demo run and that they will have an official filming day before pre-season testing in Barcelona.

Over the past week, Aston Martin and Williams completed shakedowns of their respective 2022 machines at Silverstone.

Mercedes is launching its W13 on Friday and both Lewis Hamilton and George Russell are expected to drive it for the first time at Silverstone.

Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz remain Ferrari’s pairing for 2022 with the pair guiding the team to an impressive third in the constructors’ championship.

It is eyeing a return to glory after going through the past two seasons without a grand prix victory.

Ferrari will have no excuses going into 2022 given that it has had more wind tunnel time than its main rivals - Mercedes and Red Bull - due to its poor finish in the 2020 constructors’ championship.

Similarly, Ferrari has made significant gains on the power unit side with a sizeable upgrade in the second half of last season.

All 10 teams will take to the track next week when pre-season testing at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya gets away.

A second test will then take place in Bahrain before the season-opener at the same venue on March 18-20.
