Now, the Maranello outfit have unveiled their car for a different racing series, as they look to get ahead of the competition.

Alongside Guanyu, former F1 driver Antonio Giovinazzi is also a reserve driver with Ferrari's F1 team for 2025, alongside his other duties in the World Endurance Championship (WEC) with the Ferrari AF Corse team.

Giovinazzi was present at the unveiling of the team's hypercar challenger, with a social media video showing the team's WEC drivers and staff looking around the new car.

Ferrari AF Corse are looking to build on an impressive third-place manufacturers' standings finish in 2024.
