Ferrari reveals its 2024 F1 car
Updated: Tuesday 13th February. Ferrari has unveiled its new challenger for the 2024 F1 season. It’s called the SF-24, and it looks to have followed a similar pattern to the rest of the grid thus far, in that it has taken more than a little inspiration from the Red Bull RB19 that won 21 out of 22 races in 2023.
An evolution of last year’s car, with the SF-24 Ferrari looks to build on a strong end to last season, with focus centred around making this new challenger “easy to drive”, one that “reacts predictably, with as a starting point, the positive feeling the drivers had in the cockpit over the final few races of last season.”
Upon the launch of the new car, Ferrari Team Principal Fred Vasseur said: “This year, we must start off where we left off at the end of last season, when we were consistent front runners, with a view to constantly improving in all areas.”
Driver Charles Leclerc added: “I expect the car to be a step forward in several areas and from the impression I formed in the simulator I think we’re where we want to be. This season the aim is to be front runners all the time”
Carlos Sainz Jr., who will leave Ferrari at the end of 2024 to be replaced by Lewis Hamilton, said: “The aim is to have a car that’s more driveable and therefore able to run at a consistent race pace, as these are the basic requirements to fight for wins. We drivers have done our very best to give the engineers precise feedback and I’m sure the workforce in Maranello will have listened to our needs.”
