Ferrari SF-24 F1 Race Car

The Ferrari SF-24 — internal name Project 676 — was Scuderia Ferrari's 2024 Formula 1 challenger. It was developed under Technical Director (Chassis) Enrico Cardile, with Fabio Montecchi as Chief Project Engineer, and built around the Ferrari 066/12 power unit: a 1.6-litre direct-injection V6 turbocharged hybrid limited to 15,000 rpm under the FIA's 2014-onwards regulations. It made its competitive debut at the 2024 Bahrain Grand Prix on 2 March 2024.

The car drove a five-win season — Sainz at Melbourne (part of Ferrari's first 1-2 finish since the 2022 Bahrain GP), Leclerc at Monaco, Leclerc at Monza, Leclerc in the United States, and Sainz in Mexico City. Across 24 races the SF-24 took 22 podiums, 4 pole positions, 4 fastest laps, and 652 constructors' points — enough to finish the season second behind McLaren after a late-summer dip when the team imported a misjudged floor upgrade and had to roll it back two races later.

Two backstory threads ran through the season. First: Carlos Sainz drove this car as a lame-duck Ferrari driver, having been informed in early 2024 that Lewis Hamilton would replace him for 2025. He responded with two race wins and a podium total that exceeded any year he'd previously had at the team — context that became part of the SF-24's reputation. Second: Oliver Bearman replaced Sainz at Saudi Arabia after Sainz had appendix surgery on the Friday of practice, scored points on debut at age 18, and used the result as the basis for his 2025 race seat at Haas.

The livery itself changed mid-season. Through Imola the SF-24 ran in Ferrari's traditional red with white-and-yellow trim; from the Miami Grand Prix in early May the car carried updated graphics for new title sponsor HP, and the team became 'Scuderia Ferrari HP' for the rest of the year. 77242's printed and stickered livery is the post-Miami specification.
