Ferrari has revealed the first details of its 2015 F1 car, which will be called the SF15-T.
The new car will be given its debut by Sebastian Vettel at the first test of the new season at Jerez on Sunday.
The name is similar to last year’s F14 T which was chosen in an online poll. ‘SF’ refers to the team’s formal name ‘Scuderia Ferrari’.
The new Ferrari SF15-T will be revealed online on Friday 30th January.

Ah, I see, the only way they can hope to win is punch the opposition off the track, ;-)
Better than being a FIAT I suppose.

The season has not even started yet and Ferrari are ready to introduce their latest innovation, the S-Fist. Basically, their drivers will simply cover a small hole inside the cockpit and a giant hydraulic arm springs out and punches nearby drivers right in the helmet.
I’m so happy they kept last year’s naming convention and called this the FIST…. Well done Ferrari! :D

Just saying, but supposedly F1 cars are so on the limit of traction when cornering, that you could just reach your hand and gently push the rear wing causing the whole car to spin.
The FIST would stand for Force Induced Spin Trigger, and if built into the homologated chassis, the other teams would have a hard time copying it during the season.

It goes along with FXXK

So instead of a FIAT (F14-T) it’s a FIST (or SFIST)… An inappropriate joke occurs to me, but not worth the trouble.

@abbinator Must be why they used the “S”.
A few people had predicted the year of the “FIST” last year when the F14T was announced

For a works team with a proud racing heritage they really embarrass themselves with these model names

Shouldn’t it be the F1-1GER?

I really hope he keeps the white helmet. It’s super iconic.

Me too. After all his eye-popping designs with RBR, it would be a fitting juxtaposition if he settled on a plain white canvas with Ferrari.

The only ‘iconic’ image of Vettel is that finger in the colours of Redbull winning those 4 titles. Anything else will be overshadowed I’m afraid.

Agreed, this drives me slightly batty. Every other legacy team (McLaren, Williams and Sauber) have been using logical and consistent naming for decades.
Related fun fact: Ferrari have used the naming convention F20xx (e.g. F2001, F2012) in a total of 9 seasons. In 7 of these instances they won a Constructor’s and/or Drivers Championship. Coincidence? Yes.
