McLaren looks set to launch its Honda-powered 2015 car with an event at the British team's Woking headquarters on January 29.
International media reports are suggesting the McLaren launch could then be followed a day earlier or later by the official presentation of the new Ferrari.
Unlike the McLaren event, however, which will feature journalists attending an actual car unveiling, Italy's La Gazzetta dello Sport said the Ferrari 'launch' will in fact simply be the release of multimedia items on the internet.
The report tipped the Ferrari livery to again be red and white with a touch of black carbon, adding that behind-the-scenes rumblings from Maranello suggest the latest wind tunnel results are "encouraging".
"There is optimism that much of the aerodynamic deficit has been bridged," said La Gazzetta. "And combined with the political victory on the engine side that will improve performance and economy, there is a feeling of moderate optimism."
Friday, Ferrari confirmed it would launch the new car on the Scuderia's web site and on its digital and social platforms on Friday January 30th. The code name of the car has not yet been released.
