Ferrari’s Christmas dinner has often been a source of various news regarding the future of the Scuderia del Cavallino Rampante. Even this year, although the dinner was not held, it was like that.
Ferrari team principal, Mattia Binotto, during the first part of the meeting with a select group of journalists – including Motorsport.com – revealed some details related to Ferrari’s 2022 single-seater.
One of these is the presentation date of the Red 2022, which today is recognizable with the project name 672. It should be noted that, on this occasion, no precise date has emerged, but a 72-hour period in which Ferrari will fall the veils of the new weapon for the Formula 1 World Championship.
“As for the 2022 car, we have not yet decided the date of the presentation. However, we know that it will be between 16 and 18 February. As soon as we know, we will communicate it,” said Binotto.
This means that in Maranello they have identified the period in which to present the 672, but not yet the exact date. Over the last few weeks, however, we have given you some interesting details of the car that will be entrusted to Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Jr.
The first body was built a few days ago within the Gestione Sportiva, just as the crash tests for the homologation of the chassis have already begun.
“We are continuously developing with the car – admitted the team principal – we are still working on aerodynamics, while the chassis is being produced and the gearbox is in the process of being approved for reliability. Crash tests are also well advanced ”.
“As for the engine, somehow the performance achieved is frozen, so we focus on reliability and the times are very tight, because it takes several weeks to produce some parts. If we are on track for February it is easy to imagine that the timing will be rather tight. We are working on the car from the start of the season, then there will be some developments over the course of the championship ”.
At this point all that remains is to wait for the formalization of the actual date in which we will be able to discover the shapes of the Red born from the ideas of the engineers of the Gestione Sportiva, within what will be the new sporting regulations that will upset Formula 1 starting from next year.
