Ferrari have kept the Formula One launch season moving at speed by unveiling their latest challenger, the SF-23, during a special Valentine’s Day presentation from the team’s Maranello headquarters on Tuesday.

McLaren and Aston Martin revealed their cars on Monday and it was Ferrari’s turn to show off their 2023 creation, which unsurprisingly sports another red-dominated livery design.

Ferrari’s new car initially went by the project number ‘675’, before being given its official SF-23 moniker, which continues the naming convention introduced by the outfit in 2015.

“It’s always emotional for a team to do the launch,” Team Principal Frederic Vasseur said. “My contribution is very small on this one, but I can perfectly feel the work done on the car.

“Now it will be a new journey for the project, because the car will move to the race team. It’s a great feeling; when you are back on track, it’s like when you are back at school.

“I can feel that everybody is very proud of the job done and this feeling is very important for the motivation of everybody and for the season. It will be a quite long season, but the motivation is there and it’s crucial in terms of performance.

“It’s intense, as you can imagine! You can feel the responsibility for the team; it’s a great honour. But at the end of the day, I think the most important is to be successful – we will have to deliver.”

Ferrari last won an F1 world title back in 2008, when they claimed the constructors’ crown, while their last drivers’ championship was achieved with Kimi Raikkonen during the previous season.
