@ScuderiaFerrari reveal striking-looking SF-24 for the 2024 season. #F1 #SF24

Scuderia Ferrari SF-24 – Scuderia Ferrari revealed their stunning-looking SF-24 for the upcoming 2024 FIA Formula One World Championship season in an online presentation.

Following in the footsteps of Aston Martin’s launch yesterday, the Maranello-marque unveiled their new challenger, the SF-24, via a special video and a series of digital renderings.

The SF-24 sports a deep red livery sharing the same as its Hypercar counterpart, the 499P, but with a matte red finish, with white making its return with yellow – always Ferrari’s second colour – due to it’s link with Modena and is the car the Scuderia hope will bring a return to title-contention as they push for their first World Constructor’s Championship in 2008 and first Driver’s crown since the 2007 campaign.

There is less black on the car than in previous years, which is now restricted to the bargeboards, floor, parts of the halo and other smaller areas. The wheels are red with double white and yellow stripes and these colours also feature on the race numbers – 16 and 55 – which continue to use Ferrari’s official font, Ferrari Sans, this time in italics.

Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz remain as team-mates for a fourth consecutive year in 2024, though the build-up has been dominated by the news that seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton will be joining the Maranello based-squad next year.

Indeed, Hamilton opted to end his long-standing partnership with Mercedes for a move to Ferrari, and it is Sainz who was forced to make way for the Briton, with Leclerc having recently signed a contract extension.

Now, the focus will be on the upcoming season with the SF-24 package after the Prancing Horse claimed the only non-Red Bull victory last campaign in Frederic Vasseur’s first season as Team Principal.

Vasseur stated: “Presenting a new car to the world for the first time is always a very exciting moment for me and the drivers, even if we are all already thinking about the moment, we will go head to head with our rivals on track. This year, we must start off where we left off at the end of last season, when we were consistent front runners, with a view to constantly improving in all areas. The longest ever Formula 1 season awaits us and Charles, Carlos and I all agree, we must be more clinical and effective in how we manage the races, making bold choices, in order to get the best possible result at every Grand Prix. It’s often said that your fans can give you an extra gear and that will definitely be true in what will be a very closely contested championship and we are proud to know we can count on our “Tifosi” from around the world.” Vasseur concluded.

Leclerc commented: “I like the look of the car a lot, including the white and yellow parts on the bodywork. But of course, what really interests me is how it will perform on track, as that’s all that matters. The SF-24 ought to be less sensitive and easier to drive and for us drivers that’s what you need in order to do well. I expect the car to be a step forward in several areas and from the impression I formed in the simulator I think we’re where we want to be. This season the aim is to be front runners all the time and I want to give our fans plenty to cheer about, by dedicating race wins to them.” Leclerc concluded. Credit to Ferrari for the quote.

Sainz added: “When I saw the SF-24 for the first time, I couldn’t wait to jump in and fire it up. Now, I’m looking forward to driving it on track to see if it correlates with the feeling I had from the simulator, which is that it’s the step forward we all want. The aim is to have a car that’s more driveable and therefore able to run at a consistent race pace, as these are the basic requirements to fight for wins. We drivers have done our very best to give the engineers precise feedback and I’m sure the workforce in Maranello will have listened to our needs. We want to give the fans something to cheer about, as they were so supportive last year, even when things weren’t going our way.” Sainz concluded. Credit to Ferrari for the quote.

Ferrari confirmed the SF-24 will run on track for a filming day shakedown before next season’s pre-season test in Bahrain. This will also allow the drivers to get a feel for their new car and how it behaves on track compared to running in the simulator in recent weeks, before testing gets underway.
