Ferrari has confirmed it will reveal its 2015 car on January 30 via an online launch just two days before the first day of testing.

The launch will come one day after rivals McLaren and will give the first glimpse of the car Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen will drive this year.

"Ferrari will launch its Formula One car on the Scuderia's website and on its digital and social platforms on Friday 30 January," a statement said. "In the lead up to that day, various updates will provide fans and the F1 world with additional information, to follow events in Maranello, including the name of the car, the precise time of the launch and other news.

"The car will then be used in the first of the winter test sessions, which takes place at the Jerez de la Frontera circuit, from February 1 to 4."

The car will be the first designed from the floor up by technical director James Allison and the first to race under Maurizio Arrivabene as team principal. After prioritising aerodynamics over its power unit last year and coming up short, Maranello is hoping for a significant step in 2015.
