Announcing the development ahead of the forthcoming season, Ferrari chairman John Elkann said: “Formula One, with its spirit of competition and innovation, has always been a fundamental part of Ferrari, driving the technological development of our road cars.

“This year, as we celebrate the 75th anniversary of our first production car leaving the factory, we honour that spirit by naming our 2022 F1 challenger the Ferrari F1-75.”

The press release added: "The 68th car to be built by Ferrari to compete in motor racing’s blue riband championship thus combines the name of the category with the number 75, which refers to the anniversary that the company is celebrating this year.
