The Ferrari F1-75 was Ferrari's first race car built to the new 2022 Formula 1 technical regulations and was presented in Maranello on February 18, 2022. The name celebrates the 75th anniversary of the first road-going Ferrari leaving the Maranello factory. After winless campaigns in 2020 and 2021, the car was immediately competitive: the season opener in Bahrain brought pole position and a 1–2 finish, with Charles Leclerc winning ahead of Carlos Sainz Jr. In total, it tallied 4 wins, 12 pole positions, and 20 podiums.

Engineering
Because the 2022 regulations introduced sweeping changes, the F1-75 was largely a clean-sheet design. The mid-mounted 1.6-liter V6 is paired with a 120 kW electric motor, and the sequential transmission has eight speeds. The car has only two pedals, with the clutch operated via a paddle on the steering wheel. Pirelli supplied 305 mm wide front and 405 mm wide rear tires on 18-inch wheels. Weight is listed at 798 kg according to Italian figures.
Season progression
In Saudi Arabia, Ferrari qualified second and third; Leclerc led for an extended stretch following a safety car period before Verstappen passed him in the final five laps. Compared to the Red Bull RB18, the F1-75 often held higher cornering speeds, while the RB18 was quicker on the straights. Leclerc took four consecutive poles from Miami to Baku, but mechanical failures and poor strategy thwarted victories. In Austria, he secured his fifth career Grand Prix win.
Setback
Despite the strong first half of the season, the F1-75 suffered from porpoising and poor engine reliability; Ferrari therefore dialed back the engines. The FIA directive TD 39 was intended to curb porpoising, but reportedly increased tire wear. In November 2022, Mattia Binotto said Ferrari could no longer afford upgrades because it had reached the cost cap. This contributed to the drop in performance during the second half of the season.
Side events
Following the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, Ferrari used the F1-75 in a tire test; it came under suspicion of having run a new floor specification. The FIA determined that the floor had already been used in winter testing and was therefore compliant with the regulations. In addition, for the first time since the 2017 SF70H, a Ferrari carried Santander branding.
