Ferrari unveiled the new car for 2023 during a livestream on Tuesday. While most teams only showed the car or livery, Ferrari went a step further: Charles Leclerc was sent out onto the track during the presentation to immediately lap the new car. This choice was met with much approval online.

Outdoor launch, minimal corporate bolloxology, engine noises, fans, and a car being driven around a track - best launch I've seen in ages. A nice air of confidence as well, although Carlos felt like a bit of an afterthought towards the end... #F1
