Ferrari has announced that its 2024 car features “a completely new platform” with the launch of the SF-24 ahead of its first shakedown in Italy. Carlos Sainz secured the team’s only non-Red Bull win in the Singapore Grand Prix last season, helping Ferrari finish third in the constructors’ championship behind Red Bull and Mercedes. The team’s performance improved in the latter part of the season, influencing the direction for the new car as stated by chassis technical director Enrico Cardile. The goal with the SF-24 was to create a redesigned car based on the development progress made in the previous year, incorporating driver feedback to enhance drivability and performance. The car’s new yellow and white livery offers a fresh look while technical modifications aim to provide a more stable and predictable driving experience for Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz. Team principal Fred Vasseur emphasized the importance of building on the team’s progress from the previous season and focusing on consistency and improvement for the upcoming challenging Formula 1 season.
