"The number of the drivers will be very visible like the design used in 1970/early 1980s (a tribute to Gilles Villeneuve)"

Ferrari will do its best to get rid of the 'orange tone' with new livery

When Ferrari presented a car for the first time last year without a high gloss, but with a matte finish, many people felt that the manufacturer had opted for a too bright red colour. As a result, the SF90 almost got an orange glow in a certain light.

Although Ferrari used this colour more often in their time with main sponsor Marlboro, Italy has long wished the team to return to the dark red with which the Scuderia grew up in the past.

It now appears that this will happen in 2020. According to the Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera, the matte paint is retained for weight reduction, but a darker red colour is chosen. This colour would be comparable to the colours that the team used in the 1980s.

In addition, some details of the car with which Gilles Villeneuve, among others, would return, would return. One of them is the design of the start numbers that will be large and white, framed with another white border.

New Ferrari in homage to Gilles Villeneuve?

Ahead of Tuesday’s launch, a report in the Italian press has suggested Ferrari’s 2020 car will pay tribute to late 70s, early 80s era of the team.

According to Il Corriere della Sera, Ferrari’s new car will once again feature a matte finish to help save some weight, but will be a darker red this year to remove all suggestion that there is a hint of orange, something that was observed with the 2019 challenger.

The report also states that the new Ferrari will sport somewhat of a retro look through the driver numbers that feature prominently on the car.

The bold, white numbers are set to feature a small white outline around the numbers evoking memories of Jody Scheckter and Gilles Villeneuve. The article says ‘it is a tribute to a period of great competitive intensity, linked to the unforgettable ’27’ of Villeneuve.

There is also speculation over what Ferrari will call their car, which is currently known as ‘Project 671’. Il Corriere della Sera suggests the SF1000 is a popular choice as the Scuderia will reach their 1000th Formula 1 race this upcoming season. Another frontrunner is the SF20.

As to what we can expect of the car from a technical perspective, Sky Italia’s Fabiano Vandone told the Pit Talk podcast there will be some major aerodynamic changes.

“Ferrari will make a big change from the aerodynamic point of view,” he said.

“The concept of light aerodynamics is maintained but they are trying to work on increasing the load because it was crucial 2019 to redefine the balance of the car according to a greater quantity of load.

“When Ferrari worked in the right direction, let’s say from September onwards, increasing the load, the car automatically started to improve performance, not only in qualifying but also in the race.

“So Binotto’s goal for this upcoming season is to go precisely towards a greater aerodynamic load to grip the tires and bring them up to temperature quicker, improving the race pace and reducing deterioration.”

"This year the car has been completely redesigned," Piero Ferrari told the Italian media.

"We hope we have done everything possible to eliminate the problems of last year. I think a good job has been done, we have good hopes."

Or maybe, JUST maybe.....the Merc car will be good enough this year to match our BEAST....see, it goes both ways...

But in all fairness, I do hope Ferrari will build a beast worthy of WCC this year....I don’t really care which of our drivers gets the WDC

I’m a Ferrari fan first and foremost, and WCC is worth a lot more for me.....
