Sainz and teammate Charles Leclerc got the chance to debut the Ferrari F1-75 last week at the team’s home track at Fiorano in ♔a demo run after the team’s launch.

All te♊ams are allowed t🔴o do a shakedown with their new cars - 100 kilometres of running on show tyres - to make sure they are working correctly ahead of pre-season testing.

Barcelona hosts the first of two tests with the Spanish venue a popular choice over the years due to its track layout consisting of a variety of hi🐲gh-speed, medium-speed and low-speed corners.

Can confirm, we’re in love

Ferrari will be hoping the F1-75 hands the team its first title since 2008 when it won the constructors’ championship with Felipe Massa and Kim꧃i Raikkonen.

The team hasn’t won a driveꦇrs’ championship since 2007, while its last win was back in 2019 with Sebastian Vettel in Singapore.

Despite its lack of success, 2021 was a strong year for the Italian team as it recovered to third in the standings, beating McLar𝄹en.

Carlos Sainz settled into the team well, scoring several podiums on his way to finishing fifth in the drivers’ championship - only ꧙behind Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton, Valtteri Bottas♎ and Sergio Perez.

Leclerc showed flashe🍸s of brilliance such as his pole positions in Monaco and Baku, or his near-win at Silverstone.

With Ferrari’s strong driver line-up, it will ꦗbe a serious force in both championships should F1’s most successful constructor produce a great car in 2022.
