Ex-Ferrari test driver Marc Gene has revealed that their 2024 F1 car is feeling “very d𝐆ifferent” wh💛en driven on the team’s simulator.

Things are ramping up in the world of F1 ꦰas the start of launch season is nearly upon us.

Ferrari will reveal their 2024 F1 challenger on February 13, with the dubbed ‘Project 676🍰’ expected to be radically different comp𝕴ared to its predecessor.

After a strong 2022, Ferrari started last year on the backfoot as they altered their design philosophy to favour 🍌straight line-speed and low-speed corners.

While they were the only team to win a race, outside of Red Bull, it w𒉰as ultimately another disappointing year for the Scuderia.

In a bid to close the gap to Red Bull, Ferrari are expected to introduce an entirely new design conce♓pt for 2024.

ꦉGene, who is currently Ferrari’s brand ambassador, shared some information early on the new car.

“But it is true that last year at this poin🌜t we were no longer completely convinced with the car from what the simulator told us and this ༒year the sensations are very different.

“But we stiꦑll have to wait to see the car on the ♌track, which will be on February 13 and then the pre-season test in Bahrain.”

Gene conceded that fighti💮ng for the ཧF1 world championship in 2024 “is a big optimistic”, but remains hopeful Ferrari are much closer.

“It’s difficult,” admits Gene, “because Red Bull had a very important margin last year and they say that this year’s car is much better. They are the ꧂favourites , obviously.

“Fighting with them for the Wo🍸rld Championship is a bit optimistic to say, but to take one more step forward and be able to fight more assiduously with them, yes.”
