Scuderia Ferrari introduced a car that will ultimately be driven by Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa through their official website. The F2012 is the fifty eighth car built by Ferrari with the express purpose of taking part in the Formula 1 World Championship. It adopts a well established tradition of being named after its year of manufacture.
