Ferrari are clearly excited about showing off their new challenger for the 2024 season, and have used Charles Leclerc to count down to their reveal date.

The team announced last month that their car would be unveiled on February 13, just one week before pre-season testing takes place in Bahrain from February 21.

Having only managed third in the constructors' championship last time around, the Maranello-based outfit are hoping to close the gap to the dominant Red Bull team and establish themselves as the main challengers for race victories.

The team managed just one win in 2023 through Carlos Sainz at the Singapore Grand Prix, while Leclerc was left frustrated all season-long, despite claiming five pole positions.
