Ferrari have had a busy couple of years, building a world-class simulator, which was set to succeed the famous ‘Spider,’ that has offered its services for around seven years.
The construction of the new simulator began in 2019, months before the cost cap came into effect. And now, after almost two years, Ferrari have finally completed the project, which is ready to support the development of the 2022 F1 car as well.
While revealing the news regarding their newly built simulator, Ferrari’s head of supply chain, Gianmaria Fulgenzi, also unveiled the name that has been given to Ferrari’s 2022 F1 car project.
