Design and development

On 22 December 2022, Ferrari announced that the car would be launched on 14 February 2023. The car was revealed as SF-23 on 7 February 2023, a week before the official launch. Ferrari started the year with an evolution of its 2022 design. However it soon became clear that Ferrari's initial "bathtub style" sidepod aerodynamic concept had started to plateau in terms of its performance and at the Spanish Grand Prix, a major upgrade was introduce changing to sidepods to incorporate a downwash ramp design similar to Red Bull. As the year progressed Ferrari gain a better understanding of their car with bespoke Monza upgrades improving its pace allowing it to claim pole position and a race win in Singapore.
