The SF70H is redder - the traditional colour of Ferrari - than last year’s car. Only the front wings sport a touch of white and part of the rear, which also has stripes the colours of the Italian flag: white, red and green.

The car has a lengthened nose and an arrow-shaped wing as a consequence of the radical overhaul of the sport’s technical rulebook over the off-season.

Ferrari finished second in the constructors’ championship in 2015, but dropped to third last year, 367 points adrift of Mercedes and 70 behind Red Bull.
