Ferrari’s presentation date has been confirmed for the 2024 F1 season

Ferrari unveiled its 2023 car on February 14, Valentine’s Day. But his marriage to that SF23 didn’t work out. Only one victory, that of Carlos Sainz, as the only non-Red Bull driver capable of winning a race. And now, Ferrari is convinced to have taken a great step forward with its new car for the 2024 season, the third year of the current period of regulations. With the launch date coinciding with Valentine’s Day, Ferrari did poorly. And in 2024, the chosen day is remarkable.

Frédéric Vasseur, Team Principal of Ferrari, announced last Friday at a Christmas lunch with the international press, where MD was present, that “the presentation of the 2024 car will be on February 13.” It will be a Tuesday the 13th, specifically, a date associated with bad luck due to superstition. However, in Italy it is not like that, because it is Friday the 17th. And not even in France, where Vasseur is from, because it’s Friday the 13th. This responds to the doubts expressed by some users on social networks in recent days when A rumor appeared that the presentation could be on the date finally confirmed by Vasseur.

MD reminds him mid-meal that that date in Spain is synonymous with bad luck. But his response was strong: “I don’t care about it. It depends on the downforce (aerodynamic grip achieved by the car), not the launch date,” he said in relation to the chances of success the red car is seeking. have next year.. Frédéric doesn’t believe in luck and believes in aerodynamics.

“Why not do the presentation again on Valentine’s Day, February 14? Because then we have one more day before the test (laughs). No jokes. This year the preseason test is a little earlier and it is a challenge to put everything in together . to compete,” he declared, also assuring that there are other teams that could appear on the 14th.
