Ferrari has chosen Valentine's Day to present the new SF-23 single-seater that will participate in the next Formula 1 World Championship , which kicks off on March 5 with the Bahrain Grand Prix.

During the ceremony in Maranello and in the Modena Fiorano circuit, the new Rossa was unveiled. No striking revolution compared to last season: the "Ferrari" lettering is back on the rear wing, which had already conquered everyone at Monza last year, when the F1-75s sported an ad hoc celebratory livery for the home race. Red obviously remains the main colour, but there is also room for black which stands out against the livery: in fact, the unpainted red carbon fiber can be glimpsed.

«Our challenge is to win and bring Ferrari ahead of everyone» , said the team principal of the Prancing Horse Frederic Vasseur, «everyone's goal is to return to victory, I feel the enthusiasm of the people and of all those who work for this team, this event is the best way to start the season. A very intense moment, the most important thing is to return to success and keep promises».

After showing pictures of the car, the car was taken out onto the track by Charles Leclerc , who won the coin toss with teammate Carlos Sainz.

«I can't wait to get back in the car hoping to win the championship. Our goal is to win», commented the Monegasque driver, «there's a lot of passion, it's always incredible here. And it only happens for Ferrari and this makes it very special. It's fabulous to be at Fiorano with so many fans. I can't wait to get back in the car to try and win."
