Ferrari is eagerly looking ahead to the 2024 season. After a year that saw them slip to third in the Constructors' standings, the team is keen on building a more resilient and competitive car. The 2023 season was marked by a mix of triumphs and trials for Ferrari.

Team Principal Frederic Vasseur's comments reflect a mix of determination and practicality. He commented:

“The launch will take place on the 13th of February, the day before Valentine's Day,” Vasseur confirmed, adding a touch of anticipation to the announcement.

“You will see the rest on the 13th.
