In accordance with his habit of giving his cars female nicknames, Vettel dubbed his SF16-H 'Margherita', in reference to Margherita of Savoy, the Queen consort of the Kingdom of Italy from 1878–1900. Despite a ban on tobacco advertising, Marlboro were still a key sponsor for the team alongside long term partners Santander and Shell. The SF16-H had a predominantly red and white livery, similar to that used on the Ferrari 312T and F93A. Ferrari were quick to adapt to new rules surrounding a single paddle clutch, noted as one of the few teams to make a significant adjustment to their steering wheel. The chassis was designed by James Allison, Simone Resta and Dirk de Beer with Mattia Binotto leading the powertrain design. The 'H' in the name of the car stands for ' Hybrid'. The SF16-H was launched on 19 February 2016. The Ferrari SF16-H is a Formula One racing car designed and built by Ferrari to compete in the 2016 Formula One season, during which it was driven by four-time World Champion Sebastian Vettel and 2007 World Champion Kimi Räikkönen.
