Ferrari SF-24 - Q&A with Frédéric Vasseur

The Ferrari SF-24 was launched today in front of a small audience of guests, while the rest of the world watched online. It is the 70th car built by the company to compete in the Formula 1 World Championship. Present at the presentation at the Fiorano circuit were President John Elkann, CEO Benedetto Vigna, Vice President Piero Ferrari, as well as representatives of partners, and team members, starting with Team Principal Fred Vasseur and drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz. The busiest season ever, with no less than 24 races, will kick off next week in Bahrain with the only three-day pre-season test, followed by the first Grand Prix at the same venue on Saturday, March 2. The SF-24 is the third car of the new generation of Formula 1 with ground effect, but it breaks with the tradition of the last two years, starting with its look. The design group, led by Enrico Cardile, aimed to give Charles and Carlos an easy-to-drive car that reacts predictably, starting from the positive feeling the drivers had in the cockpit in the last races of the previous season. The goal is to allow them to fully exploit the potential of the power unit, combined with their undeniable driving skill.
