Ferrari's vision of the future of the Formula 1 racing car is far from the cars we are used to. The racing car is a real feast for the eyes, which can hardly be said for the cars that are currently running around the racetracks. But strict aerodynamic rules dictated by the FIA keep designers on a tight leash, which hasn't stopped the most successful team in Formula 1 history from offering a concept that is a possible glimpse into the racing circus of the future.
Ferrari with his refreshed vision of the future of the Formula 1 race car asks if it is possible to build a race car that is the best of both worlds. So that technological development can be rated with 10 even through visual and not just technical parameters. With this concept, created with the help of masters from the aerodynamics department, team from Maranello it turns on its head the current trend and the belief that a car can either be only a beauty (and therefore not fast enough) or only a beast (fast, but not very beautiful).

With the concept, they actually threw a bone at Ferrari Formula 1 Commission, which shakes up the future of this racing sport in Geneva (discussion on new rules and regulations with the aim of returning the right to the queen of racing sport racing car aesthetics and harder handling). The game includes, among other things, the return of power units with 1000 horses, greater vacuum, wider tires, width of the vehicle,... which is all water to the mill for a nicer mask. Therefore, they will probably be with Ferrari with a concept that stands out from the competition due to its futuristic appearance and very different front end "double-decker" wings, waited until 2017, when, after additional research, established rules and fan feedback, the concept could be turned into a vehicle that would pass homologation at FII and, which will fight for the championship title.
Ferrari is not the first to look to the future in this way, but he is the only one to put his ideas into a picture.
