Thanks for images.
I think it looks good.
Hope it goes well also.

The Ferrari looks good. Bit more aggressive front wing (which seemed to be where a few times fell short on last season with the slick tyres) and Red Bull type nose where the side are raised?
OP updated. I've added a link to show the 09/10 difference and it seems a much longer wheel base which was expected with the new fuel tank size rather than being fatter at the back.

Not so keen on the Ferrari (from a purely aesthetic perspective)... colour scheme is nice, but the nose almost looks... evil?!

I quite like the white wings on the Ferrari, think it looks better than last year.

Last year their car looked quite plain I thought. Seemed a bit 'ok where is the aero?' to me. This year looks more of what I thought their 09 car would be like.

First impression's of the Ferrari F10 are ok. I see they've kept the 'barcode' design. Is that because of Marlboro? Talking of sponsorship, there is a lot of Santander badges. Too many imo. Looks like they've dropped Alice too.
As expected the wheelbase has been lengthened but my word that is nose long! They've taken the 2009 Red Bull approach to it. Its funnelled / con-caved like the RB of last year. It looks to be taller at the tip with quite a considerable gap between it and the front wing. Maybe to flow air better under the car?
The air boxes have more shape to them now and are slightly narrower. Wing mirrors also slightly narrower, still too far away from the driver though?
Finally, it looks like the rear wing is a little lower / smaller.
Can't wait to see the other cars now.

New Ferrari looks a bit like the old McLaren? When they had the Marlborough advertising. I think.
Maybe not, McLaren had more white on the body.. oh well...

Ferrari launched on Thursday, 2009 car on the left 2010 on the right:
Not as radical at the back as the new Mclaren which is quite original. Flatter bonnets seem popular. And there's definitely a fatter middle, almost exactly as predicted at the start of this thread looking at the front on images here.
