The name of the 2015 challenger has been chosen by Maranello chiefs to pay homage to the team (S for Scuderia) and its turbo engine.

It follows on from last year's F14 T - whose name was chosen by fans.

The SF15-T is due to be unveiled in an online launch on Friday.

Following the reveal, the new car will hit the track for the first time at Jerez on Sunday when new driver Sebastian Vettel has his first run with a contemporary Ferrari.

So far his only running in an F1 car has been with a two-year old car at the team's Fiorano test track.
