The Scuderia Ferrari car for the 2022 Formula 1 season is beginning to take its first steps. Not yet physically, of course, but at an organizational level. As confirmed by the Italian side’s team principal Mattia Binotto during the end of the year press conference, in fact, the 2022 Formula 1 car will be presented between 16 and 18 February, about a week before the first pre-season testing session which takes place at Montmeló and will definitively mark the first moment of a campaign that for Ferrari has to be a real turning point. The name of the car has not yet been chosen.
Scuderia Ferrari expect the 2022 Formula 1 car – with an unprecedented power unit that 10% will run on methanol – to respond best to the new regulations. Undoubtedly this year has brought encouraging progress, but we must not forget that these improvements were evident only when placed in relation to the disastrous 2020 championship, and that Mercedes and Red Bull have still shown an alarming superiority throughout the year.
The announcement of the date (or at least the short time span) for the presentation of the car that Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz will drive in 2022 perhaps puts an end to Liberty Media’s idea of staging a unique show in Catalonia for the unveiling of the new Formula One cars.
