Ferrari Confirm Name For Their 2024 Car

Scuderia Ferrari revealed the name of their 2024 challenger on their social media 13 days before the official launch.

Some teams in Formula One find a naming convention for their cars and stay true to it. A good example is Mercedes, which started with W01 in 2010, and in 2024, their car will be named W15.

Ferrari, on the other hand, changes the names of their cars quite often. Over the years, the team has chosen names for their challengers based on various circumstances.

Last year, the Ferrari car was called SF-23, which stands for Scuderia Ferrari 2023. In 2022, Ferrari cars were called F1-75 as they marked 75 years since the first Ferrari.

In 2020, Ferrari ran their 1000th F1 race, so their cars were called F1000. In 2019, the Italian team celebrated its 90th anniversary, and so the car was named SF90.
