F2007, Now reality!

Seven-time World champion Michael Schumacher was a visitor as Ferrari launched its car for the 2007 Formula One season at the team headquarters in Maranello.

The new model has changes principally concerning safety, through the introduction of more stringent front and rear crash tests and the addition of a composite material structure to provide lateral protection to the sides of the driver. These modifications have led to a significant increase in the weight of the car, in the region of just under ten kilogrammes.
