The famous Italian team hasn’t won the drivers’ championship since 2007 with Kimi Raikkonen but remains hopeful that F1’s regulations overhaul for next year will give it the opportunity to return to the fron🧸t of the field.

Despite the re𒉰gulations remaiဣning relatively stagnant between 2020 and 2021, Ferrari enjoyed a strong upturn in form as it comfortably beat McLaren to third in the constructors’ championship.

New signing Carlos Sainz enjoyed a strong yea🤪r, securing fifth in the drivers’ championship ahead of Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc in the Abu Dhabi finale.

Ferrari is the first team ✤to give a r🅠ough estimate of when it plans to launch its all-new car for 2022.

“The car will🙈 be pre🍌sented mid-February, we have not decided yet the date, 16th to 18th will be the dates, but something we will finalise in the next weeks,” team boss Mattia Binotto said.

Recently, Ferrari announced that Santander w🥂ill return as a sponsor to the team on a m𒊎ulti-year deal. 

Th൲e Spanish bank previously sponsored the team from 2010 to 2017, often featuring on the rear win꧙g of Ferrari’s F1 cars.

Binotto confirmed Ferrari is dropping Mission Winno🦹w branding for 2022 but reᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚmains hopeful it will remain “as a strong partner”.

“They have been our title sponsor and if you look at the way that we - which is public - subscribe our team to the next championship, it's not called anymore Scuderia Ferrari Misson Winnow, but 𒊎only Scuderia Ferrari so I think t🎶hat's quite straightforward as an answer,” Binotto explained.

“But sti♕ll, there are many opportunities on which we may collaborate with them, keeping them as partners. We have various options on the table at the moment and we are still talking [with] them. 

“And hopefully that will remain as a strong partn𝓰er, but it will take some more days and some more🍸 weeks. So the moment there is not really much that I can announce.”
