Ferrari officially kicked off launch week in one of the most grandeur car reveals in F1 history. The famous Formula One team opted to host their car launch at the historic Romolo Valli Municipal Theatre, in the Italian city of Reggio Emilia.

Spectators were packed into the arena to see the first official car launch of the new season and were treated to a spectacular musical show to start the evening.

Ferrari CEO Louis Camilleri was then brought on stage as he addressed the crowd before another musical break with Team Principal Mattia Binotto then addressing the crowd, talking about Ferrari’s history in the sport while he also revealed work for the 2021 car had already begun.

The 30-minute long intro was eventually over with the car eventually being revealed as the doors pulled away to show the new-look SF1000.
