Ferrari unveiled the 2012 car that it hopes will return it to world championship-winning glory.
 
After being forced to cancel its launch ceremony because of heavy snow at Maranello, the team published the first images of its car on its official website instead.
 
Having promised a more radical approach with its car that it has had in recent seasons, the new Ferrari is the result of a big effort at the factory under the guidance of new technical director Pat Fry.
 
The snow that forced the cancellation of the launch also means that plans for a shakedown of the car at Fiorano have also had to be abandoned.
 
It is not clear if the team will be able to complete any mileage prior to the first official test with the car at Jerez in Spain next week.
