The Ferrari SF70H is a Formula One racing car designed and constructed by Scuderia Ferrari to compete during the 2017 Formula One season. The car was driven by Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Räikkönen. It made its competitive début at the 2017 Australian Grand Prix, where it finished first and fourth in the hands of Vettel and Räikkönen respectively. It was the last car to feature sponsorship from Santander, their long-term sponsorship since 2010. In keeping with his tradition of giving his cars female nicknames, Vettel named his SF70H "Gina". The model was named Ferrari SF70H because of Scuderia Ferrari's 70th anniversary. The SF70H was Ferrari's most successful car in the hybrid engine era (2014-present) to date, scoring 5 wins, all by Vettel, and finished in second place in the Constructor's Championship with 522 points. The car proved to be fast in pre-season testing, and it carried its form into the first race of the season, the Australian Grand Prix. Vettel qualified in 2nd, splitting the two Mercedes cars and Räikkönen qualified in 4th. Vettel took the lead from Lewis Hamilton on lap 17 when he pitted for new tyres. Hamilton rejoined behind Max Verstappen and could not pass him. Vettel took advantage of this and came out in the lead after his stop. Vettel went on to win the inaugural race of the season ahead of the two Mercedes drivers, giving Ferrari its first win since the 2015 Singapore Grand Prix. Räikkönen finished in 4th after fending off a late charge from Verstappen. This result also marked the first race weekend after which a Mercedes-powered team was not leading the Constructors' Championship since the 2013 Brazilian Grand Prix. Ferrari were again very fast in Spain, despite major upgrades to the Mercedes cars. Vettel, who had a scare in Q1 when he was ordered to stop the car on the track, was on course to take pole. He was 3 tenths up on Hamilton's best lap in the second sector, but lost time in the final sector and qualified second, 0.051 seconds behind Hamilton. Räikkönen qualified in fourth, 0.290 seconds off the pole time. In the race, Vettel got a better start than Hamilton from second and was into first position by Turn 1. Max Verstappen, Kimi Räikkönen and Valtteri Bottas tried to go three-wide through Turn 1, but Bottas clipped the inside curb, hitting Räikkönen, who hit Verstappen. It ended both Räikkönen and Verstappen's race but Bottas was able to continue. Meanwhile, Vettel had stretched the gap to 2.2 seconds over Hamilton by the end of lap 1, but the gap stayed around that margin till Lap 14, when Vettel pitted from the lead for soft tyres, to cover off the undercut threat from Hamilton. He made easy work of passing Daniel Ricciardo, but lost around 4 seconds trying to pass Bottas. Hamilton stayed out till lap 21 and then changed onto a set of mediums, rejoining 7 seconds back. Then the Virtual Safety Car was deployed for the Felipe Massa/Stoffel Vandoorne crash. Hamilton pitted just before the end of the VSC for softs, while Vettel pitted the next lap for mediums. They were side-by-side at Turn 1, touched wheels and Hamilton was forced off the track and had to fall behind Vettel. However, he got past on Lap 44 and won the race. He thus reduced the gap to Vettel in the Drivers' Championship to 6 points, while Mercedes extended their Constructors' lead to 8 points. Ferrari managed to edge out the competition from Red Bull in qualifying at the Singapore Grand Prix. With a breathtaking lap Vettel grabbed pole position, beating Verstappen by over 3 tenths of a second. Räikkönen qualified fourth, behind Ricciardo but in front of Hamilton and Bottas. During the first ever wet-dry night race Vettel tried to chop Verstappen off in order to maintain his lead. He didn't see his Finnish teammate - who had a superb start - on his left which led to a chain reaction: Verstappen tried to evade the cut from Vettel but there was no room on the left because of the charging Räikkönen. Verstappen and Räikkönen hit each other and the Finn subsequently crashed into Vettel, ending the race for the three of them. It was the first time in F1 history that both Ferrari drivers were out on lap 1 of a race. Ferrari had a complicated Friday at the United States Grand Prix. The team elected to change Vettel’s chassis after the German experienced problems in Friday’s second practice session in Austin which limited his running to only 11 laps. During qualifying Vettel grabbed second place with a great last attempt in Q3, 2 tenths behind Hamilton. Räikkönen was unlucky: he scored exactly the same time as Ricciardo but he had to start from fifth because the Red Bull set the time first.[18] Vettel passed Hamilton with a perfect start on Sunday but he couldn't pull a gap. Hamilton passed him on lap 6 and Vettel couldn't match his pace. He tried an alternative strategy with 2 pit stops but he had to settle for second place. Räikkönen had a great race and managed to overtake Bottas on track for the last podium place. He was overtaken by Verstappen on the last lap however the Dutchman received a five-second post-race penalty for exceeding track limits and gaining an advantage, bumping him back to fourth place and allowing Ferrari their first double-podium finish since Hungary. Furthermore Ferrari lost out in the Constructors' Championship after Mercedes scored their fourth consecutive crown. The last two races were at Interlagos and Yas Marina. In Brazil, Vettel won the race after overtaking Bottas at the start, while Räikkönen finished 3rd. In Abu Dhabi, the German got the last podium place behind Bottas and Hamilton, and ahead his teammate. These results placed Ferrari in second place in the Constructors' Championship, whereas Vettel and Räikkönen finished 2nd and 4th in the Drivers' Championship.
