Ferrari this morning became the first team to unveil their 2010 Formula One challenger, the F10 as it will be known, when the wraps came off at the teams Maranello headquarters.
The front end is notably reminiscent of the 2009 Red Bull, while the overall concept appears to be somewhat conventional in its thinking.
Felipe Massa and new driver Fernando Alonso were both present at the launch, where team boss Stefano Domenicali said:
“We have two new drivers, why two new drivers? Fernando Alonso, is a twice world champion and we will say after the second one he will have a third one. He already appears among the big champions in F1, it is the right moment for him, for us, he wants to be successful and we want to repeat what the team concept is in our group.
"Felipe, we are talking of a new version of Felipe, but after such a dramatic championship like last year with the accident in Hungary and such a fantastic season, Felipe has all the assets to prove that he is a very successful one, he can prove that he wants to restart his pathway that destiny interrupted it in Hungary. Good luck to both of them."
Massa will give the new car a shakedown run at the Fiorano circuit next to the factory this afternoon prior to its testing debut, along with a number of other new challengers, at Valencia on Monday.
We will bring you pictures shortly.
