The Ferrari Formula 1 team have unveiled their new car for the upcoming 2017 season.

The car, that was shown at their factory on Friday, is completely different from last year's version due to new regulations.

All the cars will now use wider tires for more grip and should be faster in a straight line, thanks to a lower and wider rear wing as well as aerodynamic concessions.

Former world champions Sebastian Vettel of Germany and Finnish Kimi Raikkonen are still with Ferrari. They share five world titles put together but the Italian team still had a disappointing season in 2016.

Pre-season testing starts in Barcelona on February the 27th with the race season set to open in Melbourne on March the 26th.
