The Ferrari F138[6] (originally known as the Ferrari F2013, and sometimes referred to by its project number, the Ferrari 664)[7][8] is a Formula One racing car designed and built by Scuderia Ferrari for use in the 2013 Formula One season. It was driven by two time World Champion Fernando Alonso and his teammate Felipe Massa in his final season at the Scuderia.[4][5] The chassis was designed by Pat Fry, Nikolas Tombazis and Loic Bigois with Luca Marmorini leading the engine and electronics design. The car was named the "F138" to represent the year that it would be raced, 2013, and to mark the final season that Formula One would use V8 engines.[9]
Ferrari were developing their car for the 2014 season in parallel with the F138.[10]
