The fans made a platform for the new Ferrari F1-75 in Fiorano

The Scuderia completed the first kilometers of their new F1-75 car at their own track in Fiorano and found themselves in front of the pleasant surprise of a podium among dozens of team-mates braving the cold and dense fog.

Ferrari wanted to see if its new car’s systems would work properly for the 2022 Formula 1 championship, but it was known in advance that it would only cover 15 kilometers for its sponsors’ filming and promotional purposes.

But fans braved the cold and headed to Fiorano to get a closer look at the car that Scuderia had unveiled just the day before – and which gives the Italians hope (due to this year’s change in technical regulations) for the team’s return to the F1 championship.

Dense fog in many places blocked the view of fans, but that didn’t stop them from uploading several videos to the Internet showing Charles Leclerc following the special movie car, under the distant sound of the F1-75 hybrid engine.

Monegasque left the track at 10:15 and was later relieved in the cockpit by Carlos Saint. They only covered 15 kilometers together, and not on the normal route from Fiorano.

This process is called a demo run and is FIA approved for a new car. In addition, the teams have two “shooting days” available throughout the year, which are allowed to complete 100 kilometers. Ferrari will use the first of these two days on February 22 in Barcelona, a day before the start of the first three days of official F1 winter testing at the track in Catalonia.

As soon as the short process was completed, Scuderia wanted to thank the fans for their presence and support, the team reports. “Charles and Carlos took the first lap to thank the Stoic fans who braved the cold weather”give autographs.

It is worth noting that the day of the first kilometers of the F1-75 on the track coincided with the birthday of the company’s founder Enzo Ferrari on February 18, 1898. Also, the name of the car itself celebrates 75 years since its construction, Ferrari’s first car.

“We will be left behind.” Verstappen won’t like Red Bull’s situation

Red Bull Formula 1 team president Laurent Mekies believes the Bulls will be behind their rivals at the start of the 2026 season, given the production of their engines and new aerodynamic rules.

“We know it will be difficult for us, especially at the beginning of the season. I think we will fall behind our rivals, but we need to hold on for a few more months.”

“I hope we come back to the top, but it would be naive to think that Red Bull will be ahead right away. We will be behind at the start,” said Mekis.

Bulls will produce its engines in collaboration with Ford from 2026.

Red Bull finally decides on Verstappen’s team

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.

Ferrari will have a red-white livery. Images of the Scuderia jersey have been revealed

Ferrari will have a red-white livery. Images of the Scuderia jersey have been revealed

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.
