After Mercedes and McLaren, Ferrari was the third team to give fans their daily dose of razzmatazz. The Scuderia posted a short clip on their official twitter handle teasing the launch of the 2020 f1 car.

Ferrari tease project 671

The video transports you to Maranello, a historic location that embodies racing heritage and is synonymous with Formula One.  What follows, is a wonderful exhibition of hands. Who knew hands- a pedestrian body part, could be used to tell a story?

Corporate hands, Mechanical hands, engineering hands, team hands and even hands in the pocket. Each of these entities exudes varying emotions- nervousness, excitement, hope, success and a fear of the unknown. But all of them have one thing in common: unwavering love for Ferrari.

A team that has given millions around the world joy, pain, and ambition. A team that epitomizes sacrifice and patience. As Sebastian Vettel once said: “Everybody is a Ferrari fan”. It doesn’t matter who you support; young or old- seeing the red car win will always bring delight.

Enough reminiscing. Back to the video now. The clip continues with the 2020 car firing up – more of an ignition test rather than a rev party. It finally ends with a hand signal everyone is familiar with- ‘ALL OK’. A beautifully crafted masterpiece that will surely leave fanboys gushing.

2020: Make or break for the Scuderia

2020 will be a defining year for Ferrari and for Sebastian Vettel in particular. The German won’t have a contract at the end of the year and has limited choices. Simply put, Vettel must perform to remain at the Scuderia.

It will be a challenging year for Ferrari- who are looking to end a 12-year title drought. The team must also tread carefully when it comes to handling Charles Leclerc and Sebastian Vettel. Both of them have a point to prove and won’t be willing to fold.

Although the 2020 car sounds great, the performance still remains a mystery. Rumors suggested that engineers were unimpressed with the car’s performance in the wind tunnel due to aerodynamic flaws.

2019 saw Ferrari opt for a different design philosophy which involved lesser downforce-enabling greater top speeds. This was a fatal mistake as the car suffered with poor mechanical grip and understeering issues. This ultimately affected performance in low-speed corners. Rectifying this mistake took too long and ultimately cost Ferrari a shot at the title.

The 2020 car will be unveiled on February 11, 2020, in a grand ceremony at the Romolo Valli Municipal Theatre. Winter testing begins on February 19.

Could this finally be Ferrari’s year?
