Ferrari has announced that it will launch its 2010 Formula 1 car on Thursday 28 January in Maranello.

The team recently revealed that its new challenger will be designated the 281, and will make its track debut at the first post-testing ban running at Valencia on 1 February.

Ferrari is determined to mount a resurgence in 2010, having halted development on its frustrating 2009 car early in the season in order to pour maximum effort into this year's machine.

It has signed Fernando Alonso from Renault to replace Kimi Raikkonen alongside Felipe Massa this season.

Ferrari F10 Revealed

Ferrari christened its 2010 formula one car the 'F10' as it was revealed on Thursday during a lavish launch at the famous team's Maranello factory.

With a front end resembling last year's fast Red Bull car, it could not as scheduled be shaken down in the afternoon by Felipe Massa due to icy conditions at the local Fiorano test track.

Ferrari will try again to test the car for the first time on Friday, but otherwise it will now be sent to Valencia for the beginning of the official tests on Monday.

Fernando Alonso was also present for the launch, while Giancarlo Fisichella admitted that his hopes of returning to the grid next season have past.

"It's better to stay here as the third driver," the 37-year-old Roman was quoted as saying in a Reuters news report.
