The SF1000 will be driven by Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc in 2020, whilst Leclerc will be joined by incoming teammate Carlos Sainz in 2021, as Vettel leaves the team after six seasons.Īlthough the 2020/21 technical regulations have changed very little since 2019, this year’s car is significantly different to last year’s SF90, which often proved the fastest car on the track, with the changes aimed at improving reliability and optimising aerodynamic downforce and balance. Originally designed for the 2020 Championship alone, the SF1000 will compete for the Scuderia in the 20 seasons after the FIA and teams agreed to extend the technical regulations in response to the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. (Statistics correct as of the end of the 2020 season.) The Maranello outfit made its Formula 1 debut on in the second ever championship Grand Prix at Monaco, and is the most successful in the sport with 16 Constructors’ titles, 15 Drivers’ and 238 Grand Prix victories. Instead, Ferrari’s 1000 th race was the Gran Premio della Toscana Ferrari 1000, held at the marque’s very own Mugello circuit, a fitting tribute to the longest serving team in Formula 1.
The name reflects the fact that the Scuderia have taken part in a thousand Grands Prix after the ninth race of the season, which originally was to be at the Belgian Grand Prix until the Covid-19 pandemic interrupted the season before it even began. The 66th car built by Scuderia Ferrari to take part in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship®, the Ferrari SF1000 was revealed on 11th February at a closed Ferrari event at the Romolo Valli Municipal Theater in Reggio Emilia, Italy.
