Ferrari decide on a name. Finally.

Today saw Ferrari unveiling their 2010 challenger – the F10. No, not the 281. Yes, I know that’s what they said before. Oh well.

The Ferrari F10 at a jaunty angle. Nice.

The car sports an updated livery, sparked by the signing of a 5-year deal with Santander during last season. Yes, they sponsor McLaren too. Complicated stuff, this.

Ferrari only won one race last year, a far cry from the eight wins that won them the 2008 constructors’ championship, so they’ll be looking to regain their winning streak (and dignity, for that matter). And how better to do that than kicking out your world champion and replacing him with Alonso? We’ll see.

Typically, the planned first run of the F10 at Maranello (one of Ferrari’s many tracks which aren’t used to get around the testing ban, honest) had to be cancelled due to icy weather. Ferrari say they will shake it down, as it were, eventually, but the first scheduled run of the F10 will be on Monday in the Valencia test.

A sneak peek of Williams’ FW32 was revealed by autosport.com earlier on today, taken whilst filming promotional videos at Silverstone. It looks shockingly different to the FW31 of last season, sporting a raised nosecone pioneered by Red Bull last season which is expected to be widely used by the grid.
