Ferrari has completed the first laps with its 2017 challenger at Fiorano following the launch of the SF70-H on Friday morning.
Kimi Raikkonen took the car out of the garage on what will be used as one of Ferrari's filming days for the season -- an opportunity to gather promotional shots rather than a test. Mercedes did similar after its launch of the W08 on Thursday.
Ferrari has released footage of Raikkonen leaving the garage in a car it hopes erases the memory of its predecessor -- the winless SF16-H.
