This model recreates the Ferrari SF70H F-1 of the 2017 F1 season. Specifically, this replica kit recreates the car that won the opening round of the Australian G.P. With regulations promoting greater aerodynamic downforce and mechanical grip, Scuderia Ferrari came up with the sleek SF70H body featuring a lengthened nose, arrow-shaped front wing, engine cover fin and revamped side pods. Powered by the 1.6-liter V6 062 engine in harmony with an electric motor, ace driver Sebastian Vettel was in the thick of an enthralling Drivers’ Championship race all season long with Mercedes driver and eventual world champion Lewis Hamilton.
Taking on the World
The SF70H, the 63rd single-seater designed and built by Scuderia Ferrari, was born out of major regulation changes, with wider tires and cars, plus larger diffusers meaning that the cars have more aerodynamic downforce and greater mechanical grip. Fittingly for the hybrid machine named to commemorate Scuderia Ferrari's 70 years of racing, the SF70H showcases the team's innovation throughout its design. A lengthened nose and arrow-shaped front wing are a consequence of the regulations, as are the fin on the engine cover and aero appendages ahead of the air intakes on the sidepods. Behind the driver the roll-hoop, which incorporates the engine air intake, was completely redesigned. Vettel started 2017 in style with victories in the season-opening Australian Grand Prix and in Bahrain. He and Kimi Räikkönen also recorded 1-2 finishes in Monaco and Hungary. While ultimately pipped to the season's Championship titles, the SF70H was the focus of attention for millions of racing fans across the globe including Ferrari's loyal Tifosi.
