In the traditional press conference at the end of the year, Scuderia Ferrari Team Principal Mattia Binotto made no secret of the fact that the 2022 car will be conceived “with greater open-mindedness” and will not just limit to copying those who have had the best ideas. In Maranello, the project for the new single-seater is called 674 and for the Ferrari boss it should be “extreme and with innovative solutions”, according to what was published by La Gazzetta dello Sport and reported by Paolo Filisetti. The Italian newspaper collected all the rumors that emerged about next year’s car, sector by sector:
Front end: “It should be characterized by a flat nose that descends towards the front up to the level of the main profile of the wing, effectively dividing it into two sections.”
Chassis: “It will maintain a deep lower ‘hole’ with the driver’s position similar to the current one, with the central divergent that will direct the lower air flow towards the large lateral Venturi channels.”
Radiators: “Different inclination compared to the current ones, while maintaining the high position of the air intakes of the sides”.
Flanks: “They will shrink a lot, respecting the regulatory limits of Chassis volumes.”

Constant height: “Although simplified by regulation, with only two shock absorbers and torsion bars on each axle, the suspensions must ensure as much as possible a constant ground clearance between the front and rear, in favor of the car’s aerodynamic efficiency.”
Transmission: “It will be totally new with a box that will incorporate the front attachment points of the triangles, while the rear arms should be pivoted on the deformable carbon structure.”
Power unit: “It will consist of an endothermic unit with an innovative combustion chamber design defined on the basis of the new fuel specifications that include 10% ethanol. This would be a reasoned evolution of the ‘super fast’ concept with pre-combustion chamber, to speed up the flame propagation times, optimizing the combustion of the air / fuel mixture.”
Development: “The first aerodynamic evolutions are already being studied to be introduced in the tests in Bahrain (10-12 March).”
