Ferrari has announced the car’s 2022 launch date

In exactly one month, on February 17th, Ferrari will unveil its new car for the 2022 Formula 1 World Championship, a week after the unveiling of the Aston Martin AMR22 (10/2) and a few days before the start of the winter development tests.

The new F1 cars are eagerly awaited as they will be thoroughly overhauled in anticipation of the new year due to the radical change to the technical regulations – a change aimed at making them more competitive against each other and thus offering a more exciting spectacle.

The 2022 Ferrari, led by Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainte, is accompanied by Ferrari’s expectations of returning to the championship after nearly a decade and a half of claims.

And those claims are based on the team’s rapid improvement in 2021, the development of the new hybrid powertrain from the fall, as well as the longer hours the Scuderia was allowed to spend in the wind tunnel due to poor performance in 2020.

A week earlier, on February 10th, the Aston Martin AMR22 will be unveiled by Sebastian Vettel and Lance Stroll at the team’s factory in Gaddon, UK. It will be the team’s second car after being renamed Aston Martin from Racing Point and will continue to use Mercedes mechanical parts.

As for Red Bull Racing, it has confirmed that its new car will be called the RB18 – meaning there will never be an RB17 as it was codenamed RB16B last year. The Milton Keynes team intends to make a groundbreaking presentation with the interactive participation of teammates at the time of the vehicle’s unveiling.

Formula 1 winter testing begins February 23-25 ​​in Barcelona, ​​​​​​Spain, less than a month before the first GP of the new season, scheduled for March 18-20 in Shakir, Bahrain.
