2009 wasn’t a year to remember for Ferrari, which just won one race and finished fourth in the constructors’ championship. The Scuderia is keen to close that chapter and look forward to 2010, and becomes the first team to launch its 2010 challenger.
Maranello’s F10 machine is the result of substantial design work, after Ferrari decided to switch its focus to 2010 early in last year’s campaign. Piloting the F10 will be Felipe Massa and two-time champion Fernando Alonso, who makes his switch from Renault. Making a debut along with him is Spanish banking group Santander. Naturally, hopes are high.
“This championship will be very important for us,” team boss Stefano Domenicali told Autosport. “The last championship, for different reasons, was not very positive, that is why we are dealing with this one looking to be competitive – and this is what Ferrari deserves to have.”
Domenicali added that Ferrari has “two new drivers”, taking into account the “new version of Felipe” after the Brazilian’s dreadful mishap in Hungary which left many wondering if his F1 career was over. More pictures after the jump!

Wow nice car and 2 very established drivers! Hope Ferrari will be back to top 2010!
Merc Peronas GP will win again this year.. because Ross Brawn has the sercet technical to win.. last year… Brawn GP first year.. be champion.. because he knew secrets ot technical.. + Scumacher… + Petronas..
F10, hmmm……. not a good name…..
alonso is arrogant. i don want him to win.
Nice and smaller car.
Both Mercs will overlap Ferrari multiple rounds!!!
the design not nice…
Wheelbase looks visibly longer now. We will see this with all other teams I'm sure
F10 sounds better than Ctrl-Alt-Del.
not suprised anymore. they are like other team just normal team
The design remind me of Sukhoi Su-27 Fighter Jet, because of the nose job I presume..
F10 could be the machine will bring back to ferrari dominance pace..we'll see it..
can't wait to watch Schumi competing with his old team that brought up his undisputed career achievements…Merc GP Petronas..German team German driver…Scuderia Ferarri…Italian..should get Italian…Trulli..hahahaha…just messing around..
F10… latest 5-series is codenamed F10 too… hmm…
Sorry, I'd go for Vettel this yr :)
Fernando Alonso is the only F1 driver beaten MS twice to became world champion…furthermore, brawn won last yr season because they have a very competitive car in the beginning of the season due the loop hole in the defuser regulation and their 2009 cars were without KERS which mean their cars were lighter. Ferrari 2009 F1 car look less competitive as the team decided to concentrate on F10 in the middle of last season and their KERS system kept on broken down. In fact, in the end of last yr season, Brawn looked no so promising anymore instead Red bull looked very promising. I believe if red bull got their cars right in the beginning of last yr season thus brawn may not able to be the champion….So, good and competitive car + alonso, sure will give brawn a good fight
The car comes with a bar code ….
First 2010 F1 car to be unveiled?
i tot Merc GP Petronas already unveiled their car earlier?
gosh… the nose job near the pitot tube look very much like Red Bull's 2009 cars…
i dont like alonso before but when he joins Ferrari my favourite team – sigh.. i dont know what to say.
i am a big fan of michael schumi especially during his Ferrari times but he is now in a rival team. again… dont know what to comment.
i may just be a genuine spectator for this season – much like last season too.

Merc GP Petronas only unveiled team, drivers and car livery using 2009 Brawn chassis.
Their real 2010 car will only be revealed early next week at the Valencia test.
Thus Ferrari is indeed the first to reveal their 2010 car. Photos of the new Williams also spotted already. They're all looking more or less the same, long-ish nose, stretched wheelbase
The body looks bulky now, especially from frontal view of the car. well, i hate Alonso too, and Ferrari is never be my team :)
i love it!
Hope Ferrari will be competitive this year unlike 2009, it will make for an exciting 2010 championship.
I am getting seriously sick by looking at those bar code stripes on the top fin. It has been there as long as I can remember. Why Ferrari can't produce some innovative billboard for their F1 cars?
The long nose is reminiscent to the Jordan Mugen Honda, which I kinda love it. They got some inspiration from RedBull for the bulging nose design.
All the best for Alonso!
i dun like the nose…
Isn't the barcode ad space for Marlboro? They swtiched to that to get around the tobacco ads ban. It's not representing Ferrari's brand
ish….i miss the barcode on the wings…santander looks like cock
Car looks sleek & very clean. Hope that its reliable. Expect Ferrari to be competitive & team to live-up to its billings. Both Alonso & Massa are extremely passionate characters due to their Spanish & Latino roots. Expect fireworks.
These remind me that Kimi help them to won the only one race last year and they still don't know how to appreciate a good driver. Ferrari did not deserve to win this year.
