Ferrari Formula 1 chief Mattia Binotto 📖says the new SF90 car is not a “revolution” compared to its 2018 predecessor, but that the team tried to be “as extreme as we could” in its push to end its decade-long title drought.

Ferrari lifted the coverওs 🍃off the new SF90 F1 car on Friday at Maranello in a launch event marked by a number of nods to a new chap🎉ter beginning for the team, which last won a title in 2008.

After finishing as runner-up in both F1 championships last year with the SꦗF7✤1 car, Binotto explained at the launch how the team was not looking for “revolution” with the SF90, but had pushed to raise the bar as much as possible.

“I think starting with 2018, we got really good achievemౠents, and I think this car is a development of that year’s car. It’s not a revolution,” Binotto said.

“I think we simply tried to push again and raise the bar, to raise the level, try to be as extreme as we c꧂ould.

“There are a few things that are straightforward: the front wing, th🔯at’s fo💯r the technical regulations last time.

“But I think if you look at it in all the details, certainly, the roll hoop is very💫 narrow and very slim. If you look as well at the bodywork on the back, it’s very, very slim.

“That is as well thanks to the entire job which you c🐼annot see because it’s below, but in terms of engine installation, power unit installation, packaging, a lot of effort has been done.

“I think the 𒅌final car is the result of all this effort. We lik🌟e it!”

A number of major changes have taken place at Ferrari over the winter: most notably the departures of former team principal Maurizio Arrivabene and race driver Kimi Raikkonen, who were replac💧ed by Binotto and Charles Leclerc respectively.

Leclerc will partner four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel at the team this year, wꦇho is bidding to end his own title drought dating back to 2013 this year.

Speaking of the winter changes, Vettel said: “Mattia has been part of this team longer than most in the room. He’s been around a long, long time, obviously we worked t💜ogether the last five years as well. It will be a new way to work together but I’m looking forward to it.

“And for Charles, again, he’s been racing his whole life. Certainly it’s a big step to joiꦑn Ferrari, but I think he’s also very, very ex🅰cited. I’m looking forward to this year. I think the team is on the right path and hopefully we can continue improving.”

Leclerc steps up to Ferrari for his second season in F1 after an impressive debut 🌱campaign with Sauber last year.

“I’m extremely excited to start this new advent⛎ure. It’s been a dream since childhood, I’ve always been looking at the red car,” Leclerc said.

“I’ve also been part of the Ferrari Driver Academy for some years n📖ow. That 💞has helped me massively to develop as a driver, with the goal one day to have this seat. Now it’s happening. An extremely proud day for me today."
