Related Topics: Analysis, Sergio Marchionne, Ferrari

After its package showed so much potential and pace at the start of last year, Ferrari was left stung after losing both world championships in 2017. But looking at the new SF71-H launched today, it's clear the team has used that bitter defeat as motivation to get every last bit of performance from the 2018 regulations and make amends.

Not that there was much wrong with Ferrari's chassis, power unit or operation in 2017 -- it just fell a little short of Mercedes in every area. So it's right that the new car isn't radically new but is clearly updated in all aspects, with some innovative touches along the way.
