On the second floor of the new assembly lines for Ferrari road cars in Maranello, the building designed by the world-famous French architect Jean Nouvel, the last details are being defined for today’s presentation of the new Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro F1 single-seater at 10:30 am.

The choice of using this building for the single-seater presentation underlines the close connection between the two souls of the company and the constant technology transfer from the race track to the road, but also the fact that Ferrari is the only car manufacturer still in Formula 1.

The Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro, the only team which has been participating in every Championship, is getting ready for the challenge of the 61st Championship. This year they are represented by Spanish driver Fernando Alonso and Brazilian Felipe Massa.

Although due to different motivations, the two drivers can’t wait to get onto the track. Fernando Alonso is eager to drive the red car three months after the announcement of him joining the Maranello based squad for this season, while Felipe Massa will be back racing after his long absence after the dreadful accident during the qualifying at the Hungarian GP.

Felipe will drive the new car on the Fiorano track for a promotional video, weather conditions permitting, if not he will try again on Friday. If the weather conditions don’t improve, the track debut will happen on Monday at Valencia’s Ricardo Tormo circuit for the first official test session in Formula 1.

The test session’s program will see Felipe on the track on the first day, followed on Tuesday and Wednesday by Fernando Alonso behind the wheel of the new car.
