Ferrari reveals F1 launch date for 2024 challenger
Ferrari’s team principal, Frederic Vasseur, announced that the car codenamed 676, the 2024 car, will be unveiled on February 13, one day before Valentine’s Day and the launch of the SF-23. The decision was made to have an extra day before the Bahrain pre-season test, which is scheduled earlier than usual. Vasseur acknowledged that it is a tight timeline and a challenge to put everything together, but other teams also face similar challenges. The expectations for the SF-23 were high after a disappointing 2023 season, but Red Bull dominated the races. Vasseur emphasized that they want to avoid setting high expectations this time and will focus on delivering a good job in March. Ferrari finished third in the championship, but Vasseur expressed pride in the team’s improvement throughout the season.
