Ferrari confirmed that it will show its new car for 2022 in ground effect for the first time through its website on February 17, defying any superstition. Cavallino founder Enzo Ferrari would never have unveiled a car on such a… unlucky day for Italian tradition.
In the Maranello diary there were doubts between several dates that oscillated between February 16 and 18, because Enzo himself claimed to have been born in Modena on February 18, 1898, but that could not be registered until two days later. due to heavy snowfall.
The debut of the 2022 Ferrari car is scheduled for February 22 with a filming day at the Circuit de Barcelona – Catalunya, one day before the collective tests on the track.
But F1 asked the teams to appear on the track with a provisional decoration, to wear the final colors only in the tests in Bahrain, the second week of tests, just before the world championship also begins in Sakhir.
Therefore, according to rumours, the Ferrari that we will see in streaming on the day of the presentation and then on the Montmelo track will have a matte red color with a hue very similar to that of SF21 , while the decoration of the 2022 season will have a more old-school style and therefore somewhat darker, probably in honor of the company’s 75th anniversary, considering that the SF1000 seen at the Tuscan GP on the occasion of the Scuderia’s 1,000th GP received a great reception by fans.
Although it is not confirmed, this could cause all or practically all the teams on the grid to present their cars with a decoration that will not be the definitive one, playing the confusion with the fans and maintaining the intrigue until the arrival of Formula 1 to Bahrain, where the last days of preseason will take place before starting the first race of the course, which for the second consecutive season will be held at the Sakhir circuit.
