Ferrari will be the next well-known team to reveal its new car for the upcoming season as the 2023 F1 car reveal month progresses. Millions of people will be keeping an eye on the Italian team this season because they are one of the most successful and veteran teams in the entire paddock. Due to a number of driver errors and tactical blunder, the team lost the championship race against Red Bull in the 2022 Formula One season. Ferrari will exert every effort to improve and race harder this year.

Every year when the team unveils their brand-new vehicle, the Tifosi show their enthusiasm and passion. This year won’t be any different, in part because the car’s overall performance has significantly increased and the team is now able to harbour championship aspirations. Ferrari’s social media team has posted a number of articles to various social media platforms, including their website, to promote the release of their new car. The group declared that SF-23, their challenger for 2023, will be unveiled on February 14 at 10:25 GMT.

Fans can even check out an upcoming live stream page on Ferrari’s official YouTube channel as they wait for the event to start. A trailer of the SF-23’s engine starting up will be displayed on this upcoming live stream page before a static image and a countdown timer. As soon as the car is unveiled at the event, fans can follow various official social media accounts to get images and other content.

This year, there have been a variety of car reveal events with varying lengths, such as Red Bull’s full-fledged 1-hour show and AlphaTauri’s 2-minute online video. However, it is safe to say that we might have a lengthy event given that Ferrari is one of the top F1 teams. Ferrari just hired Frederic Vasseur as their new team manager. It is safe to assume that he will speak to the crowd at the event, along with Carlos Sainz, Charles Leclerc, and other notables.

How was McLaren’s car launch?

The MCL60, which McLaren has unveiled as their 2023 rival, commemorates a significant milestone in the British team’s history. One of the most storied teams on the grid is going through a season of change with Daniel Ricciardo leaving and his fellow Australian and 2021 Formula 2 champion Oscar Piastri replacing him for his rookie campaign. A change has also occurred at the executive level, with Andrea Stella taking over for Andreas Seidl as team principal. Lando Norris will start as the senior driver in the 2023 season, which will be his fifth in Formula 1.

The exterior of the car is painted in the same hues as in years past, with prominent accents of McLaren’s papaya orange. As usual, a black and light blue swath runs across the vehicle. Prior to the first race of the season in Bahrain on March 5, the MCL60 will make its official on-track debut during the preseason test at the Bahrain International Circuit beginning on February 23. Piastri predicted it would be a memorable year, not just for him but for the team as a whole, when discussing the MCL60, the first car of his Formula 1 career.
