Ferrari F1 team unveil new F10 car

Former World Champion Fernando Alonso is teaming up with Felipe Massa this season at Ferrari and both drivers ahd the honour of revealing the F10 machine. In previous years Ferrari named its cars with an "F" for Ferrari followed by the year, but last year's uncompetitive car was called the F60 to honor Ferrari's 60th year in F1. 2010 marks a return to tradition with the F10.

Fernando Alonso said, "It is always special to present a new car and today was no different. It was a very, very emotional day for me and the first presentation with Ferrari as well, first car to present in 2010 - the F10 - and we are all very optimistic and happy at the moment.

Felipe Massa said, "I am really looking forward to having a competitive season and to have the possibility to fight for the victory again - and to have the possibility to fight for the championship again."

Ferrari are keen to avoid a repeat of last seasons poor showing and hope to have learnt from their mistakes of last term.
