The new Ferrari has seen the light, or at least the decoration of Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc’s car for the 2022 Formula 1 season, the F1-75.
The new car is called F1-75 in reference to the 75th anniversary of the first time that, in March 1947, Enzo Ferrari started the engine of a car from Maranello, the 125 S. This single-seater will be number 86 in the history of Ferrari in Formula 1.
A day before the presentation, Ferrari had uploaded a video with the reaction of Leclerc and Sainz when they saw the car for the first time, and that face of illusion is the same one that was generated on the faces of thousands of fans when the F1-75 it was leaked on Wednesday and spread like wildfire through social networks.
Now that it has been verified that the leaked car was real, a greater presence of the color black is confirmed, which in addition to serving as the background for the logo with the name of the car and for the number of each pilot, predominates in the front and rear spoiler .

Black is also, although in that they disappoint most of the fans, the Halo , and in the pontoons certain “gills” similar to those we saw in the Aston Martin AMR22 can be seen.
Of the new Ferrari, above all, a radical design of the nose and front spoiler stands out. In addition, in the great intrigue that surrounds the 2022 cars, regarding the suspensions, those of the Cavallino have decided on the push-rod system (traction rods) for the front and the pull-rod (several push) for the rear. .
After the departure of its main sponsor Philip Morris and its Mission Winnow brand, which appeared on last year’s car, the largest spaces in the new car are shared between Banco Santander (whose logo is on the front spoiler), RayBan, Ceva or Shell. Although the most prominent is the Velas sticker, the new cryptocurrency partner (yes, another one) of the Italians.
With this car, Ferrari hopes to take another step towards the front of the grid. In 2021 they achieved third place in the constructors’ championship behind Mercedes and Red Bull after having been sixth in 2020 (their worst year in 40 seasons), but they did not achieve any victory.
In fact, they haven’t won since Singapore 2019, and they haven’t been proclaimed team champions since 2008 and driver champions since 2007. With Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc, both present at the new F1-75 event together with director Mattia Binotto and wearing the new monkeys, they hope to break that long drought and at least, with the new rules, fight for the title, something they haven’t really achieved since 2018.
