Ferrari is growing to launch their 2021 car on March 10, 2021. They will be the last ones to reveal their livery for the upcoming season. The team boss, Mattia Binotto, explained in an interview with Karun Chandhok, former F1 driver, that the car is ready to get on the track.
Binotto clarified that the team’s priority this season is to focus on the 2021 car. The team is building from their 2020 campaign, which was the Maranello outfit’s worst season since 1980.
However, the team is also focusing on the 2022 rule changes to help transition into the new era positively. He pointed out that the adrenaline is high at Maranello to figure how this car would work this year around.

He said, “The 2021 car is ready to be on track. We are simply waiting for the moment; the adrenaline is high. What will be important this season is to understand how the car is correlating to the expectations. That’s a key factor, for overall performance for us and for other teams.”

The 2022 technical regulations will lead to a complete change in chassis for 2022. Mattia explains that because there’s only a year left before the 2022 regulations come in, they have to make the most of this season to help them start at a better position in the new era.
“We need to focus on 2022. Not because 2022 is our priority, but because you are starting from white paper. So there is a lot of design and developments that need to be done for 2022, and that leaves very little space for any other activity in 2021,” he explained.
