Ferrari unveiled a sneak look at the new car this afternoon, although the image which just showed a partially uncovered airbox, proudly adorned with the constructors championship logo, offered very few clues.

Tomorrow afternoon in Maranello Scuderia Ferrari will present its new 2008 Formula 1 car to the international press as they begin the build up towards the start of the new season.

BMW with present their new machine on 16th January in Munich, while Red Bull expect to show their car a day later when F1 testing kicks off in Valencia.

The Finnish driver, his Brazilian team mate Felipe Massa and the technical management of the Scuderia - Technical Director Aldo Costa, Engine Director Gilles Simon and Operations Director Mario Almondo - will meet up in Maranello tomorrow with more than 80 journalists from 13 different countries, including China, under the lead of Stefano Domenicali, who has been head of the Gestione Sportiva since 1st January.

Ferrari unveiled a sneak look at the new car, likely to be dubbed the F2008, this afternoon, although the image which just showed a partially uncovered airbox, proudly adorned with the constructors championship logo, offered very few clues.

However, Technical Director Aldo Costa, who has guided the new car's design, recently spoke to Italian sports newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, suggesting that there will be a number of visual changes from the F2007, which won the drivers' and constructors' titles last year: "The front of the car will be different, as far as the monocoque is concerned, with differently shaped sidepods, and the wing will be new too."
