Well in advance, Aston Martin was the first team to officially announce the date of the presentation of the new AMR23, which will be unveiled on 13 February at 8.00 pm on the Silverstone Campus. Regarding the presentations, it is usually normal for team managers to agree that the cars are presented without overlapping and not creating a kind of media tilt, leaving the necessary space for each ‘unveiling’ for obvious purely commercial reasons.
The new Ferrari 2023 will be presented on February 14th, according to F1 experts Giuliano Duchessa and Piergiuseppe Donadoni for formu1a.uno, who informs that the new Ferrari car will be unveiled and then will immediately hit the track – as was done with the F1-75. However, the new Italian car will make its debut at the brand new Imola location.
formu1a.uno also provided more details about the 675 project, which at least on paper, will be a car most cared for by Mattia Binotto but which, paradoxically, will race without him at the head of the Gestione Sportiva. Fred Vasseur, called to replace the Italian-Swiss team principal, will have a difficult task: to improve things without altering a technical balance now achieved in the factory. Will the loss of a very active figure like Mattia Binotto leave a void that could be filled by current Haas technical director Simone Resta?
There would seem to have been no official approach yet because there are some basic questions from Benedetto Vigna. The current technical office would in fact be ‘disturbed’ by an overbearing return of the Italian engineer. Benedetto Vigna feels that such a move may weaken the position of Enrico Cardile, who has done very well in recent years. For this reason, in the most important rooms of Maranello there would be a lot of discussion about this possible move, in order not to repeat certain mistakes of the past.
The F1-75 as well as the SF70H were the cars conceived under the responsibility of Sanchez and Cardile – as well as of course Mattia Binotto – and they were thought out very well, with innovative ideas, which were also taken up by other teams. On the other hand, Simone Resta has knowledge that would undoubtedly enrich the technical office, especially in terms of vision on aerodynamic efficiency. It is clear that the 675 has already been designed and the fundamental choices have certainly been made on this aspect. So today it is more probable that Fred Vasseur will make decisions with long-term impact, not for the immediate future.
