Yay, finally the time has arrived when the teams present their new challengers. Ferrari is the first one to roll out its F60 for the 2009-2010 season, which it did at its Maranello base on Monday.
The car looked quite odd though. The new regulations require a longer front wing and a short high rear one. Also the car had slick tyres on it. The KERS system has also been installed on the car, though Ferrari is yet to take a decision if it wants to use the KERS or not.
Generally Ferrari names its car after the season in which they will be used. The previous one for instance was called the F2008. This one though has been christened F60 to commemorate the milestone of Ferrari being the only team to have participated in all the 60 Formula One Championships.
Massa was pretty excited about the new car while Raikonnen was once again eager to get onto the race track to wrestle back the championship from Hamilton. With lots of rule changes this season, not to forget the re-introduction of the slick tyres, the choice of adjusting the front wing twice per lap so as to gain extra performance while overtaking, and the newly introduced KERS it should be a great season to watch.
