Sebastian Vettel has a habit of naming all of his F1 cars, dating back to his days with Toro Rosso where he named their 2008 car Julie. Names have included Kates dirty sister, Hungry Heidi and Margherita throughout the years but has revealed that this years car is called Loria.

Vettel will be hoping to drive the car to his first world championship with Ferrari after falling away in the Asian races last season with the car he named Gina, and has seemed confident that they are in a good position to challenge four time back to back champions Mercedes.

Vettel said this on the naming of the car: "Loria… so we invented a new name! I don’t know, maybe this year if we do really well then at least in Italy there will be some girls named Gloria as well, so that would be nice! We sit together every year and try to come up with something funny and there’s a bit of a reason behind it. Let’s see.It’s just the beginning of the story, maybe we will add a letter here or there at the end of the year…”

    Should be called Valdez. On account of all the oil burning.
