The Italian outfit launched the F1-75 on Thursday afternoon with the presentation of a real 2022 car featuring a striking r🃏ed-and-black livery and some eye-catching innovations. 

A slimmed-down side𒆙pod concept and narrow nose design are distinct interpretations of F1’s new rules that have not been seen on the other cars lau🎃nched to date.  

“We have tackled the challenge꧑ of this project with an innovative approach,” Binotto said at the launch of the F1-7ꦍ5.

“Because apart from t🦂he requirements of the completely new technical regulations we believe that we hadꦫ to take on this exercise with an open mind.

“It called on all our know-how our c✃reativity and above all our commit💯ment. This is what I would call a brave Ferrari because we have interpreted the rules thinking outside the box.”

Binotto said Ferrari had taken an “innovative approach” with the development of its ch💯assis and power unit for 2022’s revolutionary regulation overhaul. 

“There are a lot of non-conꦆventional shapes in terms of aero choices,” he explained. “The power unit, we tried to put a lot of🅷 effort into its design. 

“The power unit and the combustion engine is a big innovation for us compared to the past in terms of design. It’s internal to the bodywork, so difficu𓆉lt to judge. 

“I think overall this car has a l🌠ot of innovation, starting with the combustion engine to the aero concept as well. I am not only dictated by regulations but the way we ap𓃲proached the exercise. 

“I am not nervous and the reason is that I think the team has improved since the last year🅠s, has developed capacity, methodology and new♓ skills, and the way I have seen the team worked, I am pretty happy.

“I know the team an༒d I know how g🤡ood they are.” 

According to Binotto, Ferrari has the fl💟exibility to change its more radical concepts if they do not work as hoped, or if other teams have stolen a march in a particular area. 

"Each single team has got flexibility ꧑in terms of design,” he said. “So I think what we will do at the start of the season is to look at the other cars, see the concepts they have decided and adopted.&nbওsp;

“Certainly we will test them in the windtunnel if t🎀here's any different direction to our one. 

“If you look at the body shape we have got, it’s quite wide. Certainly, we have not filled underbody so 🅷we have got flexibility certainly in the middle of the car, i𝐆n the bodywork. 

"If you look at the regulations it’s quite prescriptive on the front wing, on the nose, and the rearꩲ wing. But there’s ♍much more flexibility around the bodywork. 

“The way we have packaged our power unit will leave us some freedom in the future i🍸f there are other directio✨ns that can be promising.” 

After making encouraging progress last year in recovering from a di🧔re 2020 campaign, Binotto acknowledged the pressure on Ferrari to further close the gap to Mercedes🐻 and Red Bull this season. 

"Do I feel the responsibilit♕y? Certainly, I feel it,” he added. “If we do not win is that a failure for Ferrari? I think it’s important for Ferrari to be back, to be competitive. 

“It’s our best opportunity to be back, to be competitive. I really think we’ve put a lot of effort with the team in designing and developing the new car and, honestly, the way I have seen tไhe team working, I am proud of the wa𒊎y they made it, very united, putting [in] a lot of effort. 

"I am not considering a failure at the moment because I don’t think it’s the way it is. We’re simply focused on tryin𓆉g to do our best, raising the 🔴level and have a good start to the season.”
