Ferrari unveils its new F138 car for 2013

Malta Independent Friday, 1 February 2013, 11:20 Last update: about 12 years ago

Ferrari has unveiled the car the Italian team hopes will end a run of four years without a Formula One title.

The car's name — F138 — is a combination of the year and a tribute to the V8 engines which will be used for the last time this season, bringing an end to an eight-year run.

Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali called the launch "a starting point for a year with only one goal: To add to our wonderful history."

Ferrari last won the constructors' title in 2008 with Kimi Raikkonen and Massa, while Raikkonen won the team's last drivers' title in 2007.

Ferrari has a record 16 constructors titles.

Force India launches its car later Friday.

This season begins with the Australian Grand Prix on March 17. Testing starts in Jerez, Spain, next week.
