Ex-Ferrari test driver Marc Gene has revealed that their 2024 F1 car is feeling “very different”🥂 when driven on theඣ team’s simulator.

Things are ramping up in the world of F1 as the start of launch sea🎀son is nearly up💞on us.

Ferrari will reveal their 2✨024 F1 challenger on February 13, with the dubbed ‘Project 676’ expecte𓂃d to be radically different compared to its predecessor.

After a strong 2022, Ferrari started last ye🦩ar on the backfoot as they alᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚtered their design philosophy to favour straight line-speed and low-speed corners.

While they were th𓂃e only team to win a race, outs🌊ide of Red Bull, it was ultimately another disappointing year for the Scuderia.

In a bid to close the gap to Red Bull, Ferrari are expected to introduce an entirely new design concept for 2024💛🌃.

Gene, who is currently Ferrari’s brand ambassador, shared 🐲some information early🦩 on the new car.

“But it is true that last year at this point we were no longer completely convinced with the car from ♎what the simulator told us and this year the sensations are very different.

“But we still have to wai꧋t to see the car 🍰on the track, which will be on February 13 and then the pre-season test in Bahrain.”

Gene conceded that fighting for the F1 world championship🙈 in 2024 “is a big optimistic”, but remains hopeful Ferrari are much closer.

“It’s difficult,” 🅷admits Gene, “because Red Bull had a very important margin last year and they say that this year’s car is much better. They are the favourites , obviously.

“F🔴ighting with them for the Wo𓄧rld Championship is a bit optimistic to say, but to take one more step forward and be able to fight more assiduously with them, yes.”
