Charles Leclerc had a seat fitting at Maranello as the team make the final touches to Project 670, their 2019 Formula 1 challenger which will be unveiled on 15 February.
The 21-year-old Monegasque will make his debut for the Scuderia, partnering four-time F1 World Champion Sebastian Vettel this season, starting at the Australian Grand Prix on 17 March, in Melbourne.
Ferrari announced on their website:
Today, for the first time, Charles Leclerc sat in the Scuderia Ferrari Mission Winnow car that he will drive during the 2019 season. This morning, the Monegasque driver had a fitting to finalise the shape of the made-to-measure seat of his Formula 1 car.
In the factory. While he was at the Gestione Sportiva, Charles took the opportunity to meet Director and Team Principal, Mattia Binotto and say hello to the rest of the team, with whom he will work for the first time at the forthcoming Barcelona test from 18 to 21 February. Leclerc will be the first driver from Monaco to race in Formula 1 for Scuderia Ferrari.
Unveiling. In fact, it’s not long now, just over a week, before the new car is launched. The event takes place at Maranello, on Friday 15 February at 10:45 and the launch will be live streamed on the Ferrari website. The unveiling can also be watched on the Scuderia’s social media channels.
