The car with which Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen will fly the Scuderia Ferrari flag in this year’s Formula 1 World Championship has already been chosen by the Ferrari fans and it's going to be called. The Prancing Horse fans from around the globe were asked to vote online the name of the new car.
There was a total of 1,123,741 votes and the winning margin was just 19,104 or 1.7%, after a very close fight with F166 Turbo. The other three names on the list fared less well: third was F14 Scuderia (18.8%), followed by F14 Maranello (12.3%) and F616 (4.8%.)
“It’s nice to know the name of the car has been chosen by our fans,” said Stefano Domenicali. “The amazing number of votes shows just how popular Ferrari has always been and this will be, as always, a further impetus for us to do well this year!”
Votes came from 208 different countries around the globe, with Italy topping the list with the most voters. Spain, the United States, the United Kingdom and France were the next countries on the list in terms of votes. The most curious countries to cast votes for the new name were Cuba, Greenland, Palau and Equatorial Guinea.
The new Ferrari F14 T will be unveiled tomorrow.
