The livery was already shown by Ferrari – partially – during a promotional testing meeting that Fernando Alonso held earlier this month. However, the new Santander-scheme livery was then shown on the team's 2009 car – the Ferrari F60.
“This championship will be very important for us. The last championship, for different reasons, was not very positive, that is why we are dealing with this one looking to be competitive - and this is what Ferrari deserves to have,” said team boss Stefano Domenicali.
“We have two new drivers, why two new drivers? Fernando Alonso, is a twice world champion and we will say after the second one he will have a third one. He already appears among the big champions in F1, it is the right moment for him, for us, he wants to be successful and we want to repeat what the team concept is in our group.”
“Felipe, we are talking of a new version of Felipe, but after such a dramatic championship like last year with the accident in Hungary and such a fantastic season, Felipe has all the assets to prove that he is a very successful one, he can prove that he wants to restart his pathway that destiny interrupted it in Hungary. Good luck to both of them,” added the Ferrari team principal.
Although the car's internal designation was 281, its official name for the 2010 season will be the Ferrari F10. The car is scheduled to hit the track later today, by Felipe Massa, for a promotional video.
