Ferrari celebrates its 75th anniversary by naming the car of 2022
Ferrari has announced that the car it will compete in F1 with this year will be called the F1-75 as part of its celebrations of the 75th anniversary of the construction of its first car.
Ferrari had already announced that they would officially unveil Charles Leclerc and Carlos Saint’s new car on February 17, but have now revealed that it will be called the F1-75. On March 12, a week before the first GP of the year, the Italian company will be celebrating the 75th anniversary of the day the first Ferrari left the gates of Maranello.
Enzo Ferrari himself was the first to start the engine of the Ferrari 125 S. “As we celebrate the 75th anniversary of our first production car to come out of the factory this year, we honor that spirit by giving our F1 car the name F1-75,” said company president John Elkann.
Ferrari links the F1-75 with the expectation that it will be the car that returns to the championship after 14 years – given Fernando Alonso never had a real top car on his hands in the early years of 2010 , with which it could compete on par with Sebastian Vettel’s Red Bull-Renault.
Scuderia’s advances in hybrid propulsion, which intensified last autumn with the introduction of this year’s hybrid-powered races, as well as the additional time allowed in the wind tunnel for Scuderia due to its poor 2020 result, contribute to the high fan expectations for the upcoming season.
Besides that, there are other important factors that Ferrari wants to hope its return on – such as the radical change in structure and working methods and the unexpected top performance of Carlos Sainte, who sometimes beat Charles Leclerc in 2021.
Red Bull Racing consultant Dr. Helmut Marco, is one of those who believe that Scuderia can enter the RBR battle with Mercedes this year: ““I hope the competition gets tighter, because with full power we could both go around everyone.” said the Austrian.
“I believe that the balance of power will remain the same – maybe the Ferrari Take it a step further and win a race or two on your own. They have taken a clear step with the engine [πέρσι]. And we hear they do very well with biofuels. But you need stability for a whole year.”concluded Marco.

Formula 1 pilots’ salaries have long been record-breaking, and the championship’s leading stars regularly appear on the list of the world’s highest-paid athletes.
The current F1 squad is one of the richest in the history of the series, which is directly linked to the sharp increase in the championship’s global popularity in recent years.
But large contracts account for only a fraction of total revenue. Advertising deals, bonuses, business ventures and investments have allowed individual pilots to amass fortunes that far exceed the earnings of most of their peers. According to Racing News 365, it was these Formula 1 drivers who managed to build the largest financial empires in the history of the championship, leaving others far behind.
The richest F1 drivers in history
1) Michael Schumacher – $790 million
2) Lewis Hamilton – $304 million
3) Fernando Alonso – $264 million
4) Kimi Raikkonen – $254 million
5) Niki Lauda – $203 million

Former Ferrari driver Arturo Merzario has spoken harshly about Charles Leclerc and his role in the Italian team.
The Italian, famous for saving Niki Laudi from a burning car after an accident at the Nürburgring in 1976, said:
“Leclerc got a seat at Ferrari that he didn’t deserve at the time. He’s a very good racer like any other. If you put more than one name in a hat and take one out, they’re all pretty much the same. He’s not special.”
This season the Monegasque edged out seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton at the Hungarian Grand Prix to take all seven of Ferrari’s podiums and claim the team’s only pole position. But for Merzario this does not matter:
“There’s no point in boasting about being ahead of a seven-time world champion like Hamilton, because Lewis took his foot off the gas because he felt he wasn’t integrated into the team. Why would he give 110% under those circumstances?”
Merzario concluded his words with an even stronger statement:
“If Enzo Ferrari were alive, he wouldn’t even walk through the doors of Maranello, I’m sure. He wouldn’t even be accepted as a customer.”
