Ferrari F60 - What was so special about this F1 car?
Answered by Byron Mathioudakis · 21 Apr 2021

The F60 Formula 1 is significant in that its name celebrates Ferrari's 60th year in Formula 1.

But people talk about it probably for reasons unflattering to Ferrari. In a nutshell, it was not at all a success in its 2009 F1 season, winning just one out of 17 races that year (and scoring just six podium placements during that time); in fact, the F60 F1 car is considered a massive disappointment as a result.

In contrast, its F2008 predecessor won 8 out of 18 races and finished up in 19 podium placements, and as of last season, remains the most recent Ferrari Formula 1 car to win the World Constructors' Championship.

We hope this helps.

Ferrari F80 - Will it eventually replace the LaFerrari?
Answered by Byron Mathioudakis · 21 Apr 2021

The F80 Concept will definitely not make it to production, as it was a concept based on the now-redundant F1 rule-meeting technologies of the mid-2010s.

However, a replacement for the F150 LaFerrari is highly likely, but not in the same specification, as we hear it will showcase progressive electrification technologies rather than the mid-mounted hybrid V12 layout of the F150.

No word on when or where it will appear, and Ferrari is infamous for taking its time with direct successors to ground-breaking models like the LaFerrari.
