Following a disappointing 2014 Formula One season, at the end of which it had to settle for a fourth-place finish in the constructor’s standing, Scuderia Ferrari seeks to score better results in 2015 with a revised version of the F14-T race car. Dubbed SF15-T and described as a "large step forward" compared to its predecessor, the new single-seater allowed Ferrari to apply all the lessons learned in
2014. To make a long story short, the SF15-T boasts a new nose, a more tightly packaged rear end, overhauled suspension kinematics, and optimized brakes.
Besides having a revised car at its disposal, as it is common with every new F1 season, Scuderia Ferrari tackles the 2015 stage with a brand-new leading driver as well. At the end of 2014, the Italians hired four-time World Champion Sebastian Vettel to replace Fernando Alonso. The German joined Ferrari after spending six seasons with Red Bull Racing, and will compete alongside Kimi Raikkonen, who returned to the Scuderia in 2014. It remains to be seen if Ferrari has what it takes to challenge Mercedes-AMG for the World Championship, but until the season commences, let’s have a closer look at the new SF15-T racer.
