Of all the teams, Ferrari was the first to show their new car for 2020 to the world. The SF1000 looks a lot like last year's car and is more like an evolution of the SF90. Charles Leclerc is also an evolution of himself this season.

“The preparation is a bit different because I now know the team and the car too. It is a new car, but of course, it is an evolution of last year's car. That makes me better prepared this year. It's a big challenge and I can't wait to drive the car," Leclerc said at the presentation. 

He mainly prepared himself physically differently for the 2020 season. For example, he is losing weight and has even moved into the mountains for some high altitude.

“I have physically prepared myself in the mountains to be fit for this season. Psychologically my approach is similar to previous seasons. I'm just trying to do my best. I work hard with the team to build the best car and I try to learn from past mistakes. I want to be a better driver this season," he added.
