Ferrari has officially declared that their upcoming Formula 1 car will bear the name SF-24. In line with a longstanding tradition initiated during the turbo-hybrid era, the SF denotes Scuderia Ferrari, followed by the current year’s numerical designation. This nomenclature was initially introduced with the SF15-T in the 2015 season, marking F1’s second turbo-hybrid era. The only deviation from this pattern occurred in 2022 when the F1-75 name was used to commemorate Ferrari’s 75th anniversary.
New year, New name.
