Some tiny air takes and an interesting design of them too. Are those holes in the mirrors?

I already hate the Halo

The Ferrari is very red, it looks like it has a baldspot because the engine cover is just so plain.

I've decided Halo is too complimentary and we should refer to it as the flipflop from now on.

Ferrari with the super tiny intakes this year, smallest of all the cars shown so far.

Halo looks even more ridiculous now that they’ve bolted aero to it. Toto’s chainsaw comment summed it up nicely.
What on Earth were they thinking.

I thought for sure I'd read something that blocked teams from using Halo as a wing but I guess not.

the grey part makes it look worse
I believe the regulations allow aero attachments within 20mm of the Halo.
Next season the teams will be allowed to design their own I believe as well.

This image sums up the Halo, for me.Honda have got their engine working
Monstrosity, ill-conceived and outrageously big and bulky considering the rest of an F1 car.
But it's here and isn't going anywhere so you'll have to accept it. The constant moaning about it is getting very boring, not just here but everywhere else too. I don't like it either but I don't talk about it every time someone mentions or shows one of the current cars.
Personally if the indycar screen gets introduced I could see F1 going that way. The 'test' that Ferrari did with the aeroscreen was little more than a publicity stunt IMO.

Its an evolution of last years car, and that did very well. What makes you say this wont?
I think they should have problems with their engines cooling because of the tiny intakes.
Last year, they lost all races on the faster circuits where the Merc dominated without giving any chances to the others.
Last year was a disaster and a failure given how they missed the Championships.
The new Ferrari SF71H has a changed balance - should be more competitive on the faster circuits but will lose at the slower corners.

It's orange. The McLaren is orange!!!

Engine air intake looks tiny on the MCL33.
Sponsorship and branding seems very small and sparse on all the teams cars too. You'd think McLaren would fill space with their own interests (road cars) if nothing else.
