The Ferrari F2007 was the team's Formula 1 car for the 2007 season and an evolution of the 248 F1; its most striking feature was an array of new aerodynamic turning vanes and bargeboards. With this car, Kimi Räikkönen secured his only World Championship, and the team earned its first Constructors' Championship since 2004. Over 17 races, it took 9 victories and 9 pole positions, with Felipe Massa partnering Räikkönen. It was also the final Formula 1 Ferrari to feature traction control, which was banned starting in 2008. From the Monaco Grand Prix onward, the car was painted in Rosso Corsa.

Good to know

  • Ferrari was the only team in 2007 with a cigarette manufacturer as its title sponsor; owing to advertising restrictions, a red-and-white barcode livery merely hinted at the brand.
  • The Chinese Grand Prix was the final race where direct cigarette sponsorship appeared openly on a Formula 1 car.
  • Ferrari ran with car numbers 5 and 6 instead of 3 and 4 because Alonso transferred to McLaren, taking his number 1 and the accompanying number 2 with him.
  • The suspension abandoned the single-keel concept for the first time at Ferrari, a change widely linked to Rory Byrne's step back from active development.

Chassis

The chassis underwent considerable modifications compared to the 248 F1. The wheelbase grew by 85 mm from 3050 to 3135 mm, with the added length positioned between the cockpit and front axle to enhance airflow. The longitudinally mounted transmission featured a novel quick-shift system with seven forward gears plus reverse. On January 14, 2007, the car broke cover at Fiorano, though it was initially fitted with aerodynamic wings from the 248 F1 to conceal aero details from competitors.

Color and sponsorship

With the conclusion of the Vodafone partnership, part of the white accents disappeared, replaced by Alice branding. During the first four races, Ferrari competed in a lighter shade of red matched to the sponsor. From Monaco onward, the team returned to the darker Rosso Corsa hue and retained it thereafter. Marlboro wordmarks were only visible in Bahrain, Monaco, and China. In France, the Martini logo was masked off to comply with local bans on alcohol advertising.
