How Ferrari plans to avoid another false dawn with "extreme" car
Ferrari became the first F1 team to reveal its 2020 challenger 'in the flesh' on Tuesday evening, and made no secret of the fact it has adopted a radical concept. The Autosport team - incuding our new technical expert - examines the SF1000
As the candy-striped interpretive dancers preceded the unveiling of Ferrari's SF1000 challenger for 2020, carrying their partners on their backs, one wondered if it was an allegory for the weight of expectation on the Formula 1 team's shoulders.
Arming its car with the grandiose title of 'SF1000', Ferrari certainly has a great deal to prove this season. While Autosport waxed lyrical about the team's chances following testing, we - and many others in the paddock - were ultimately left disappointed as the SF90's limitations in low-speed corners were exposed dramatically at the Australian Grand Prix season opener.
