Defending title holder Lewis Hamilton will help unveil his new car at McLaren's headquarters in Woking, Surrey, on Friday. By then, Felipe Massa will have put considerable test mileage on the Ferrari F60, given that number to mark Ferrari's 60th year in Formula One.

The Iatest product from the Italian team looks radically different to the car Massa drove to second place just one point behind Hamilton in last year's championship chase.

A raft of new regulations governing aerodynamics which are aimed at bringing more overtaking to Grand Prix racing means the new Ferrari sports a wide 'snow plough' front wing, a tall but narrow rear wing, and a distinctive coke-bottle shape to the side pods.

The F60 also sports a Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) which teams are being encouraged to use in the new campaign which gets underway in Australia on 29 March.

KERS employs advanced 'green' technologies designed to reclaim energy under braking for corners which drivers can then exploit to give an extra power boost on the straights.

Massa was scheduled to have tested the F60 for the first time at Ferrari's Fiorano test track in northern Italy, but today's session was switched to Mugello a two-hour drive south because of icy conditions.
