Ferrari does not want to waste time: immediately after the presentation on Tuesday morning (the launch is scheduled for 11:25), the SF-23 could be transferred to the Fiorano pits where in the afternoon it would be able to make its first sweep on the track according to as anticipated by the Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Scuderia shouldn’t resort to the first filming day as Alfa Romeo (in Barcelona for two days), Red Bull and Haas (in Silverstone) have done so far, but could take advantage of an option in the regulation which allows a 15 km “sgambata” on a track that is not homologated.
The Demo Event is an option that the team has already exploited last year on February 18 with the F1-75 driven by Charles Leclerc and forces the drivers to make a route that cuts the Fiorano track for a length of less than 3 km originals: last year the Monegasque covered 7 laps.

The actual filming day, with the ritual commercial shooting, would be scheduled for February 15, i.e. Wednesday, practically at the same time as the launch and first outing of the Mercedes W14 which will be on stage at Silverstone.
In this case, Ferrari will have the possibility of covering 100 km on Pirelli Demo tires and will alternate the two drivers at the wheel of the SF-23. The Demo Event is still being defined, while the Filming Day is already scheduled.
