2022 marks the 75th anniversary a historic date, Ferrari’s diamond jubilee: Though Enzo Ferrari was building winning race cars for Alfa Romeo for years before, it wasn’t until after WWII, in 1947, that he founded his eponymous car company and constructed the first Ferrari-branded automobile:
“Formula One, with its spirit of competition and innovation, has always been a fundamental part of Ferrari, driving the technological development of our road cars,” commented Chairman John Elkann. “This year, as we celebrate the 75th anniversary of our first production car leaving the factory, we honour that spirit by naming our 2022 F1 challenger the Ferrari F1-75.”
The F1-75, which will be driven on track by Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, will be launched online on 17th February at 14 CET. The season gets underway on 20th March at the Sakhir circuit in Bahrain, prior to which there will be one test session in Barcelona from 23 to 25 February and another at Sakhir itself from 10 to 12 March.
