Wasn't it Lotus last year that did the online launch that was a complete fail, didn't start on time, stream didn't work and it was found to be pre-recorded anyway?

Anyway, I'm braced for more epic Kimi not-botheredness. "Ya. It's a car. Like last years"

I believe it was.

Wrong thread oops.

Not the place to put it but I don't see a thread where I could and it's not worth one of its own: Portugal is apparently heading up the chase for the vacant July GP slot. Are they really planning a race at Estoril, or is there a viable alternative?

High nose, doesn't look stepped if that is the actual car under the wraps

Ceryndrion · 25 Jan 2013 at 13:54

the nose certainly is higher, but what I find more interesting is the profile of those sidepods.

Probably just cardboard boxes under the sheet

Higher than last years? I'm not so sure.

The front of the car is very obviously lifted, you can can see from the rake front to rear.

There is Portimao which is a fantastic looking circuit.

I think its just the wing mirrors skewing things.

Portimao is indeed a brilliant track, but I think its only F1 Testing certified, not Race certified?

Hope they don't hang around as I have to pick my daughter up from nursery at 11:20.

May have to call the teachers in advance to tell them Daddy going to be late

I should write a manual on parenting really. It's easy.

The new Ferrari Formula 1 car will be called the F138, the name derives from a combination of the current year and the number of cylinders of the engine.
