Scuderia Team Principal, Stefano Domenicali confirmed in Madonna di Campiglio that the new Ferrari Formula 1 car will be unveiled early February in Maranello, Italy.

Domenicali, drivers Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa are taking part in the annual Wrooom event held at the Madonna di Campiglio high altitude ski resort located in the Dolomites.

The new 2012 Ferrari F1 car will be presented to the media and the team partners at the Fiorano test track on February 3.

“As has been the case for many years now it will be a very conventional ceremony,” said Domenicali.

“If the weather is good enough, right from the afternoon of the third, or more likely the following day, the car will run at Fiorano to fulfil some promotional obligations, before tackling its first real test at Jerez de la Frontera on February 7.”

Domenicali also confirmed the arrival of new team members.

“From the 2 January, Steve Clark joins us from Mercedes to work as a track engineer, while also joining Ferrari is Hiroide Hamashima, previously Technical Director at Bridgestone Motorsport,” said Domenicali.

“He will head up a new project focusing on an in-depth assessment of an area crucial to performance, which is the interaction between the car and its tires and he will also be our technical link to Pirelli. Both men will report to Technical Director, Pat Fry,” Domenicali added.
