Massa put Ferrari on top on FridayFerrari says it will unveil its 2012 Formula 1 car in early February and that it will be ready for the first test of the winter.

"The new Ferrari F1 car will be presented in early February, in time to take part in the first test session ahead of the season," Ferrari media chief Luca Colajanni told Autosprint.

He said the new car will be significantly different from this year's machine, as the Prancing Horse aims to return to winning ways following a difficult 2011 season.

"At the moment, it's not important to say whether the new project is going to be extreme," he added. "For sure, it will be a clean break with the past, a very different program, because it aims to win and it marks a change of mentality by the entire team."

The first test of 2012 will take place at the Jerez circuit on Feb. 7-9.
