The season at the Scuderia risks being overshadowed by the signing of seven-time world champion for next year, which announced its agreement with Ferrari on February 1, with the objective, both for the driver and the brand, of recovering the lost ground with respect to Max Verstappen and Red Bullgreat dominators of the category in the last three years.
The tifosi were able to see the new SF-24 in a video that the Scuderia published on its social networks, since only a “small group of guests” were able to attend the event live.
Among them were the ‘Team Principal’ and the two drivers for 2024, the Monegasque Charles Leclerc and the Spanish Carlos Sainz, who will be the victim of Hamilton’s arrival.
The SF-24 is “continuous” with respect to the single-seater that ended last season, much more reliable than the car with which Ferrari started the course, which even allowed Sainz to win the Singapore Grand Prix, the only race that escaped Red Bull.
“The drivers had a good feeling with the car in the last races of last year“Declared Vasseur to justify the evolution of the car, although he specified that the new car “is easier to drive and reacts more predictably.”
“We are going to face the longest season in the history of F1 and Charles, Carlos and I agree that we have to be more opportunistic and effective when managing the races.“Vasseur explained.
In 2024 the F1 World Championship will have a record 24 races, starting on March 2 in Bahrain. Ferrari has not won the drivers’ championship since 2007 and the constructors’ title since 2008.
Last year, Ferrari finished well behind Red Bull in both championships, with Leclerc 369 points behind champion Verstappen and Saiz even further behind, in fifth and seventh place in the classification respectively.
“I can’t wait to drive it on the track to see that, as the simulator tells us,“This car is the step forward that we all want,” said Sainz before the presentation.
“So far, in the simulator, the car has performed very well. The problems we had with last year’s car seem to be resolved, although we have to wait for the Bahrain tests to confirm it,” Leclerc agreed.
Pre-season rehearsals will be held from February 21 to 23 in Bahrain.
