For many fans, the starting date of the Formula 1 season is not that of the first Grand Prix on the calendar, but the presentation of the new Ferrari. The date chosen in Maranello for the raising of the veils on the single-seater that the Scuderia will bring to the track in the F1 2022 world championship is 17 February, exactly one month from now. The presentation will be via videoconference, an obligatory choice due to the constraints linked to the covid restrictions.
The ‘674’ project (the car’s name will be revealed along with its forms) is one of the most anticipated ever in Ferrari’s recent history, coming after two difficult seasons in which 2022 was explicitly indicated as the year of recovery.
In Maranello they are not afraid of the cabal, and on the 17th it made no difference in the choice of date. Symbology was instead taken into consideration in Red Bull, passing from the RB16B (the car that led to the Max Verstappen world title last year) to the RB18 which will be at the start this season.
After the presentation, the new Cavallino car will be sent to Barcelona for testing at the Catalunya circuit which will start on 23 February.
Ferrari, like last year, reserved the Spanish track exclusively the day before the start of collective tests for a filming-day that will allow them to cover one hundred kilometers with ‘test’ tires. It will be a general rehearsal useful for the engineers to check the general functioning of the car before the start of the official tests.
A day of testing is scheduled for Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz before the presentation of the 2022 car. The two Scuderia drivers will return to the wheel of a single-seater at the end of January at the Fiorano circuit, for a test that should take place behind the wheel. of the car 2021.
Ferrari is the second team to have announced the date of the presentation of its 2022 car. The ice was broken by Aston Martin, who will unveil their car on February 10, and also in this case it will be an online presentation.
