About a month, Ferrari has announced would let fans determine the name of its 2014 Formula One race car by voting on social media. Well, the voting process has begun and Ferrari has put up five different options to choose from. One can vote via the Ferrari.com website or via the Scuderia’s Twitter (@InsideFerrari) and Facebook (ScuderiaFerrari) pages. The choice can be made from these five options: F14 T, F14 Maranello, F14 Scuderia, F166 Turbo or F616. The name that gets the most votes will be revealed on January 24, the day before the first photos and technical details of the car are revealed. At the moment, the names that are proving most popular are F14 T and F166 Turbo, according to Ferrari. The number 14 signifies the 2014 season while the 6 and 16 represent the number of cylinders of the 2014 engine and its 1.6-liter displacement. Ferrari has already shown the new power unit that will go into its 2014 car. The power unit will be called the 059/3, and like rival units from Mercedes AMG and Renault it will feature a turbocharged 1.6-liter V-6 paired with an energy recovery system. In addition to voting for the name, fans can also use Twitter to put questions to the Scuderia’s team principal Stefano Domenicali (#askStefano) as well as drivers Fernando Alonso (#askAlo) and Kimi Räikkönen (#Kimi).
