Ferrari has unveiled its new car for the upcoming Formula One season and Fernando Alonso says he’s hopeful it will help him make amends for the disappointing end to the 2010 championship.
The Italian team is the first F1 outfit to show off its 2011 car,naming it the F150 in celebration of the 150th anniversary of Italy’s unification.
The car features a new adjustable rear wing and has been modified for the use of the KERS system,which was banned last year but returns in 2011.
Alonso led the championship going into the last race in 2010 but was overtaken by Sebastian Vettel after a failed pit stop strategy by Ferrari in Abu Dhabi.
Alonso said Friday that “I think I know the team better now and I feel far more integrated into the team. The development through 2010 was crucial to the new car.”
