Ferrari revealed the official name of its 2024 F1 chassis, which was codenamed Project 676 during the winter break.
Ferrari is well known for wildly contradicting the official names of its F1 cars, but they have broken that amusing tradition by keeping the names consistent for the second season in a row.
The 2024 Ferrari will be named SF-24, following the 2023 SF-23. This will be the first time since 2018 that Ferrari has run with a very logical order of magnitude increase to showcase its new chassis.
Ferrari announces the name of the 2024 model as “SF-24”
Ferrari says that by starting the official chassis name with 'SF', which clearly stands for Scuderia Ferrari, it is continuing a tradition of naming structures that have been in place since the early days of the hybrid era.
Since the 2015 SF15-T, Ferrari has added the SF prefix to all chassis except for the 2022 cars.
Confusing to everyone outside of Ferrari, the team has occasionally used hyphenated chassis names, and other times dropped them.
New year, new name.
