Ferrari car named SF15-T for new season

Ferrari has revealed that the car they and Sebastian Vettel hope would revive the team's Formula One fortunes this season would be called the SF15-T.

Ferrari, which is the sport's most successful and oldest team, did not manage to win a race last year, their first such blank since 1993, and finished fourth.

Ferrari explained on their website that the designation of their new car stood for Scuderia Ferrari, followed by the year and a T for turbo, Stuff.co.nz reported.

Ferrari's car that led to a disappointed campaign last season was known as the F14T.

The car would be launched officially online on Friday before making its test debut in Jerez, Spain, on Sunday with four times world champion Vettel, who joined Ferrari from Red Bull this year, teaming up with Finland's Kimi Raikkonen.

The season starts in Australia on March 15, the report added.
