Following what ha♉s become something of a tradition in recent years, Ferrari will hit the track in January for some early running prior to the s൲tart of the new season. 

Robert Shwartzman, Charles Leclerc and Carloꦍs Sainz will each take it in turns to get behind the wheel of Ferrari’s 2021 ♈car, the SF21, over the course of this week’s running. 

The four-day test is aimed at giving the drivers, engineer♛s and mechanics a chance to get back up to s𓄧peed by practicing the normal procedures of a grand prix event at a track. 

Tuesday’s test will mark Shwartzman’s first outing in his new role of Ferrari test driver. The Russian, who will no longer race in Formula 2, will hand over to Lecler🅰c and Sainz on Wednesday and Thursday, before returning to the cockpit on Friday to conclude Ferrari's programme. 

All three drivers most recently drove the SF21 during post-season tes꧂ting in Abu Dhabi last month, with Shwartzmanཧ covering a total of 73 laps of the Yas Marina Circuit. 

Ferrari is set to reveal its 2022 challenger - internally known as project code number 674 - at a launch event on February 17𝓀, ahead of the first pre-season test which takes place between February 23-25 at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in Spain. 

A second three-day test foll🎶ows in Bahrain on March 10-12, before the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix on March 20.
