"The launch took place on February 13, the day before Valentine's Day!" Team boss Fred Vasseur laughed as he confirmed the date during a recent media appearance at Maranello.

The F1 grid will gather in Bahrain again for mass testing this year, but the three-day single test will start on February 21 instead of February 23, two days earlier than the previous year.

When asked if the new Ferrari was a 'revolution' in terms of design compared to the SF-23, Vasseur said: "I don't know if that's the right word. We've had the same regulations for three years in a row, you know." cannot significantly change the situation.

"Again, a tenth of a second, which means 0.1% or 0.2% of the performance we are looking for. Of course, we need to take a step, and I do not take this step lightly.

"And so it will be... Your word is 'revolution', we are changing 95 percent of the parts of the car, maybe you can think of it as a revolution, I don't know if it will happen.

"The expectation now, the expectation is that we are focused on ourselves, we are making a good step forward, but in the end it is always a matter of comparison. If you improve by 100 points, if the others improve by 120 points, you look stupid." If they improve to 80 you will look like a mega hero.

"The most important thing so far is to keep pushing, to keep improving, to get the drivers in the middle of the project and for them to be fully involved in the development. So far we're going in the right direction, I don't think." "We don't know if the others will move more or less in the right direction, we will see that in Bahrain."
