Scuderia Ferrari shared videos and photos of its newly released car, the SF-24, from the shakedown at Fiorano Circuit on February 13th.

The Italian team Scuderia Ferrari revealed the car they hope to use to challenge for the 2024 title on Tuesday, February 13th. Following the launch, the team went for a shakedown at Fiorano Circuit.

The team is team's headquarters are located in Maranello, Italy, and one of the nearest tracks is Fiorano Circuits. As a matter of fact, this is a racetrack privately owned by Ferrari.

Fiorano Circuit has played an integral part in Ferrari's car development as it serves as a testing track for all Ferrari cars, from road cars to F1. It has become a tradition that F1 car shakedowns take place at this circuit.

While the official launch consisted only of 3D renders, Ferrari shared some real videos and high-quality images from the shakedown at the Fiorano track.

The Prancing Horse had a lot of media attention over the course of the past few days, and it wasn't because of the upcoming launch; it was because of the announcement that Lewis Hamilton would be joining the team in 2025.

While we can't wait to see the seven-time World Champion in a Ferrari, Carlos Sainz still has one more season with his team, and he was the first one to sit behind the wheel of SF-24.

Charles Leclerc also got his chance to test the new car. As you can see in the video below, the Monegasque driver didn't go easy on it at all! 

The 26-year-old also mentioned in one of his interviews he was happy with how well his team worked over the winter break. He also added confident the weaknesses of the previous year's model would be eliminated.

While we haven't got his reactions after riding the car, everyone is laughing in the photos below, so perhaps the shakedown has gone pretty well.
