Ferrari has revealed the official name of its 2024 F1 chassis, which was named Project 676 over the winter break.
Ferrari is well known for being wildly inconsistent with the official names for their F1 cars but has broken that amusing tradition by remaining consistent in their nomenclature for a second consecutive season.
The 2024 Ferrari will be called the SF-24, after the 2023 SF-23; it’s the first time since 2018 that Ferrari has driven with a very logical accumulation of numbers to designate the new chassis.
Ferrari says they are continuing the tradition of their naming structure adopted since early on in the hybrid era, by starting the official chassis name with ‘SF’ which stands for, obviously, Scuderia Ferrari.
Starting with the 2015 SF15-T, Ferrari has named all its chassis with the SF prefix, with the exception of the 2022 machine.
What’s confusing for everyone except Ferrari is that the team received a chassis call with a script and then, on other occasions, abandoned it.
