The chassis was designed by James Allison, Simone Resta and Dirk de Beer, with Mattia Binotto leading the powertrain design. It was driven by Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Räikkönen. The SF15-T was launched on 30 January 2015.

Background

Naming

The car was named SF15-T by adding the letter "S" before the "F", forming Scuderia Ferrari's initials and retaining the year of competition as well the letter "T" for turbocharged. Carrying over his tradition from Red Bull and Toro Rosso, Vettel named his SF15-T "Eva".

Season summary

Team principal Maurizio Arrivabene had set the team a target of winning 2 races in the 2015 season. Vettel won the Malaysian Grand Prix after capitalising on an early safety car. Räikkönen came home in fourth place after suffering a puncture following contact with another car in the early stages of the race. In Bahrain, Räikkönen had his best showing yet coming home in 2nd place.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as 2015 season, Scuderia Ferrari Formula One racing car. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q18918144. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2015.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
