That Ferrari looks great imo!

Hopefully can go as good as it looks, but it'll no doubt be a damp squib again.

Ferrari looks very nice, front wing seems very off but that may well be a red herring, there are some other oddities which must surely be the final design however.
These new regs were supposed to bring everyone closer in performance and closer on track, but with everyone approaching the same target with such varying solutions I fear it's actually going to push them further away from each other as they can't all be right.
There also seems to be intentional design in most reveals so far to create outwash that will disrupt the air flow for the car behind thus meaning they'll find it hard to follow, which was the main point of all the changes, making following easier.
We won't know until testing of course but I have a sinking feeling we're going to be seeing a huge disparity in performance across the grid.

I think so too, second only to the Aston. I'm not sure the black areas on the racing suits looks good but I think the colour scheme on the car works far better than last year.

Do we all agree the wheels look utter *****?

The covers aren't the best, are they? Only McLaren seem to have done anything vaguely interesting with them.
Soldato
Mercedes leak?
The red Ineos just doesn't work if you ask me.

Dude's using IE...
Yes, I was hoping bigger wheels were going to look decent but they're really not great.
Soldato
Yes. They were awful in 2009 and they're awful now.
Soldato
You can tell we're in the bad timeline when the Ferrari launch was straight to the point for the first time... ever, and the Merc launch has been turned in to a daytrip out for the kids.
Caporegime
At least they're talking about motorsports rather than having a sponsor slot.
It's all a show.
The car they reveal will have the key aero elements missing until the first race. The only point of all of the cars reveals is to launch the car paint scheme, sponsor logos and team kit.
Caporegime
Lots of interesting contours on the bodywork, doesn't make for the prettiest of cars. Looks a bit like it warped in the oven, tbh.
Caporegime
Doing a shakedown at Silverstone today, huh? Can't see that being particularly successful.
I think most of them will look like that when they're actually in race trim. The blander ones we've seen are not real components, I suspect.
