Ferrari is predicted to be a major player in the F1 title fight this year and details of when we will catch our first glimpse of the SF-25 have been revealed.
Ferrari announced they will reveal the first rendered images of their 2025 F1 car on February 18 at the O2 Arena in London during the F1 75 season launch event, where all teams will be present. Originally, the new car was supposed to debut on February 19 in Maranello, but the SF-25 will now be unveiled alongside its new livery on the same day as the season launch. Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc will pilot the car for its first shakedown at the Fiorano Circuit, although the official debut on track is scheduled for a week later. Ferrari aims to break its championship drought dating back to 2008, with Hamilton joining the team from Mercedes to strengthen their lineup alongside Leclerc. The team has been conducting pre-season tests to prepare for the upcoming season, with Bahrain hosting the start of official pre-season testing shortly after the SF-25 shakedown.
