UNVEILED AT THE Team's Maranello headquarters, Ferrari has today revealed its 2010 Formula 1 entry, the F10. (No relation to the 2010 F10 BMW 5 Series, we presume.)

After a dismal 2009 outing that saw the the team score just one victory, Ferrari is looking to the F10 and new steerer Fernando Alonso to return the Italians to the top of the game.

Speaking with ESPN, Ferrari Technical Director Aldo Costa said the F10 has been designed from scratch, focusing on the previously controversial double diffuser design - the one element of the F10 that Ferrari has yet to reveal.

Although the 2010 season will allow them, recent reports suggest that double diffusers will be banned from 2011, in a move to cut aerodynamic downforce.
