Whether you’re a casual observer or a hardcore fan of Formula One (F1) who enjoys making wagers on sports betting odds, you cannot deny its overall appeal. 

With some of the greatest names in the racing industry competing for bigger and better titles each year, brand deals and car manufacturers are also becoming more competitive.

The functionality and overall design of the racecars are something worth noting. While high-performing turbo engines will increase how fast a car is, speed is generally determined by the weight of the car and the weight of the driver.

Ferrari SF70H

Of all of the racing cars that have graced F1, the Ferrari SF70H is one of the fastest and most iconic F1 cars of all time. So much so that it’s a coveted prize by many athletes on and off the track!

This beauty was designed and constructed by Scuderia Ferrari for the 2017 F1 season. It was driven by world champion racer Sebastian Vettel, who later won the 2017 Australian Grand Prix.

It has a distinctive shape with a wide front, wide tires, and rear wings that set it apart from other Ferrari models. Combined with a unique Ferrari 062 engine and 950-1000 hp,  the shape of this vehicle allows more airflow to enter…
