Name of Ferrari’s 2017 F1 car leaked

The name of Ferrari’s 2017 Formula 1 car has appeared to have been leaked by sponsors Santander on Twitter.

Santander has since deleted the tweet which unveiled the name of Ferrari’s 2017 challenger which has named the ‘SF17-JB’

Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen’s car for the upcoming season will be named in tribute to the team’s former young driver Jules Bianchi, who tragically passed away on July 17, 2015 after sustaining injuries while driving for Manor at the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix.

The Italian manufacturers will officially unveil its 2017 car to the public on February 24 ahead of the first official pre-season test taking place at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on February 27 – March 2.
