As expected, Ferrari launched its new Formula One racing car at their Maranello base in Italy today.
I have no idea why, but the new car is codenamed 659. As I have touched numbers, let's mention that this is the 54th single-seater Ferrari have built to contest the Formula One world championship.
Obviously the new car conforms to the new FIA regulations for the 2008 season. The most important new element is the Standard Electronic Control Unit. This is the new electronic system that must be used by all teams.
Another important rule is that the gearbox must last for four consecutive events. There are other minor areas that have been affected by the new rules.
As a result of all these changes, the car has become heavier.
Full specifications of the new Ferrari F2008 car can be found at the Formula 1 official web site.
