Ferrari’s competitor for the 2023 FIA Formula One World Championship season, the SF-23 is Maranello’s spearhead for their mission to propel themselves back into title contention. In the hands of Monegasque racer Charles Leclerc and Spaniard Carlos Sainz, in their fifth and third seasons respectively with the team, the SF-23 will be looking to continue the Scuderia’s progress in the Constructors’ Championship after claiming four wins and finishing second in the standings during the 2022 season.
Whilst the SF-23 is officially an evolution of the previous season’s F1-75, which is no surprise as the team’s 2022 entrant claimed a season-high 12 pole positions, underneath the surface much of the car has been completely redesigned. The SF-23’s features increased vertical downforce in order to recover overall downforce lost to the season’s updated aero regulations and achieve the desired balance characteristics for the drivers. The suspension has also been redesigned, to support aerodynamics and increase the range of adjustments that can be made to the car at the track. The most obvious changes are in the area of the front suspension: low track rods, a revised front wing and nose construction. The bodywork was also updated, with slimmer sidepods. One of the F1-75’s biggest faults during 2022 was the reliability of its power unit, so much of the SF-23’s development over winter months focused on making the internal combustion engine and electric motors more robust, to handle a more aggressive setup and eliminate the weaknesses of the power unit.
This fine full-size replica of the Ferrari SF-23 Steering Wheel, as used during the 2023 FIA Formula One World Championship season by Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, is handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of Scuderia Ferrari regarding original CAD data, finishes and paint codes. Furthermore, each replica undergoes detailed scrutiny by both engineering and design teams to ensure complete accuracy of representation.
The Ferrari SF-23 Steering Wheel is limited to 99 pieces.
