Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur has confirmed that the 2024 Formula 1 car for the Scuderia will be launched on February 13th, 2024. This announcement comes after Ferrari unveiled their 2023 design, the SF-23, at their Fiorano test track, where they ran the car for the first time. Vasseur joked that the earlier launch date gives Ferrari more time to prepare for preseason testing, which begins in Bahrain on February 21st, but also mentioned that this presents a challenge to put everything together. He also mentioned that other teams have chosen the same launch date, February 14th, so it is quite tight to be ready for Bahrain. Vasseur did not reveal the name of the 2024 car and expressed that his focus is on delivering a good performance in March, rather than making promises or predictions.
