Binoto: “Only if we win will we revive the Ferrari legend”
The director of the Scuderia was clear about the goal of returning to winning ways in 2022, while Charles Leclerc was impressed by the new Ferrari F1-75, describing it as “innovative and aggressive”.
If a car’s looks reflect its speed, then the new Ferrari F1-75 unveiled by Scuderia at Maranello on Thursday will be very competitive in this year’s Formula 1 championship.
The team’s two drivers, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Saint – and Monegasque in particular – made no secret of being impressed by the F1-75’s performance and expressed hope that it would be just as exciting and fast on track.
Ferrari presented their real 2022 car, in contrast to the Red Bull RB18, which was a demo exhibition model. The Scuderia had no problem showing the competition how they interpret the all-new 2022 regulations that give rise to the white-themed and so different cars of this year’s F1.
Particularly impressive was the F1-75’s thin, low snout, innovatively designed with two separate sections, as well as the strikingly detailed body that houses the impressive hybrid powertrain layout – which, of course, aims to improve aerodynamics.
“I like it very, very much“Leclerc stressed during the presentation of the car.”I think I’ll like it even more when it’s fast on the track, but I absolutely love the way it looks. You can see how much work has been done just by looking at the body. It looks exciting, extreme and I like it“.
For his part, Carlos Saint emphasized on the new Cavallino: “I think he looks aggressive. And radical. I think it looks really nice too and like Charles said I hope it’s quick. Its[design]gets out of the way and that’s what you want to see from a new car“.
Previously, the Scuderia director had no reservations about the Italian team’s goals for 2022, clearly saying they can’t help but return to wins and titles with claims for the first time in almost a decade and a half.
“We know expectations are high and we are ready to face our opponents” said the Italian.”I want the F1-75 to be the car that will make the team’s friends proud of Ferrari again. Our goal is to revive the team’s legend and the only way we can do that is by winning again. It takes a fast car with two great drivers, and we have them“.
Speaking about the new car, Binoto added: “F1-75 is the expression of the talent, commitment and passion of each one of us. It is the end result of an effort guided like never before by a new spirit and approach and the push for maximum innovation in every component and detail“.
Following today’s unveiling, tomorrow (18/2) the Ferrari F1-75 will complete its first kilometers on the track at the company’s private track in Fiorano to verify the correct operation of its systems.
Both Leclerc and Saint will be in the cockpit, but they will not cover more than 15 kilometers in total. It will be a demo as Scuderia will hold the first of two promotional days (with a 100km limit) for February 22 in Barcelona, the day before the start of F1 winter testing at the track in Catalonia.
Binoto explained that the aim of Ferrari – and of course all teams – will be to adopt their new car in the first tests and that is why the Scuderia is not preparing any F1-75 upgrades for a launch.
“In the beginning there will be many lap times that we can find as we learn and discover the car’s performance. I expect this will last a few of the first few games. I don’t think we can find the car’s best performance in one test.
We will keep the package we have in the two three days of testing. We will bring some upgrades but nothing special. The beginning will have to do with mapping, understanding, learning and eventually the emergence of autodynamics‘ the Italian concluded.

After several significant personnel changes in the team, Max Verstappen has finally learned who he will be working with in the Red Bull pits for the new season.
At the end of last year, it became known that three key members of the four-time world champion’s headquarters had left. According to De Telegraaf, Jeff Ayton replaced Verstappen’s vehicle control engineer Michael Manning, who left the team after the 2025 season. He has previously worked with other Red Bull drivers and worked temporarily with Verstappen in Manning’s absence last year.
Verstappen’s former engine mechanic David Mart has moved to Audi and his replacement at Red Bull has not yet been determined. Performance engineer Tom Hart is also leaving the team; He will join Williams but will continue to work with the Milton Keynes-based team for a while.
Changes also occurred among mechanics. After Matt Culler moved to the position of Audi’s chief mechanic, Verstappen was replaced as his first mechanic by his twin brother John Culler. He is well known to Max, who has previously held a similar position on the other side of the Red Bull pits, working alongside Sergio Perez, Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda.
Despite rumors about the winter break, Gianpiero Lambiase will remain Verstappen’s race engineer for another season.

Photos of the allegedly leaked Ferrari F1 team jerseys for the 2026 season have appeared on the internet.
The published photos show a red T-shirt with white inserts.
Ferrari will officially announce its color on January 23. At the same time, some sources reported that the design of the 2026 car should be “pleasantly surprising”.
Given that Ferrari and other teams have used darker shades of their primary colors (red in the Scuderia’s case) in recent years, the introduction of red and white team uniforms could signal a move towards a lighter color scheme.
The same idea is put forward in a video published on the Scuderia’s official account.

Former Formula 1 champion Damon Hill has warned fans that the winner of the 2026 season could be a real surprise.
The current large-scale changes to the regulations are among the biggest in the history of the sport. They are expected to change the balance of power in the starting grid for a long time.
Hill is confident that the pundits have no idea who will start the new season with the best cars because the cars will be completely different, even in terms of handling.
Particular attention of the expert is drawn to Aston Martin, which was able to make a leap from the middle of the table after signing Adrian Newey from Red Bull.
Hill noted the following about Lando Norris’ chances of defending his title:
“All bets are off for this year. We don’t know who will be in uniform. You can’t automatically assume that pilots who performed well under previous regulations can now do it again.”
The cars are completely different. “50% of engine power is now provided by the electric battery, and this affects the way cars are controlled, their aerodynamics and their design.”
Hill added that the season could be a complete surprise:
“Yes, you can [ожидать смену эпохи в Ф1 в этом году]. We may see a complete surprise. It’s like Jenson Button beating Brown; Everyone was surprised because they understood the rules better.
“And the master of understanding the rules is Adrian Newey, who went to Aston Martin. He left Red Bull and Max Verstappen, Christian Horner also left that team. But he went to Aston Martin.”
“So we’re waiting for him to wave his magic wand over Aston Martin. And it could happen.”
