And there is a good chance the car will feature the logos of Weichai Power, a Chinese state-owned diesel engine company which began sponsoring Ferrari in 2013, as the company has returned to the sponsors page of the Maranello-based team’s website.

Weichai Power was set to continue to be a team sponsor for the 2020 season, but they pulled out in the wake of the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic.

It’s unclear if their reunion with Ferrari will merely be a sponsorship deal or may also include a technical partnership of some description.

Formula1News.co.uk has reached out to Ferrari for comment on the scope of their new partnership.

Last month, Ferrari announced Spanish beer brand Estrella Galicia 0,0 as a team sponsor following Carlos Sainz’s move from McLaren to the Scuderia.
