Ferrari names date for F1 car unveiling

Ferrari will launch its 2019 Formula One car three days before the start of pre-season testing in Barcelona.

Ferrari's car for the coming Formula One season will be unveiled on February 15, team chief Maurizio Arrivabene said.

The new Ferrari will be presented three days before the start of pre-season testing in Barcelona.

In 2019 Ferrari are looking to end Mercedes' dominance of the hybrid era and have replaced veteran driver Kimi Raikkonen with Monegasque youngster Charles Leclerc.

Sebastian Vettel, second to Lewis Hamilton in the last two drivers' championships, retains the other race seat.

The new season starts with the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne on March 17.
