2010 Car Launch thread

it looks nice but will it be fast?not so sure about it, it has stuff that other teams had already last year but now they have gone forward and reports say this new ferrari does have some aero problems.

They did mention they weren't letting any external photographers to the launch to hide any details, but I think we wont see the true beat until next week

It's running later (for promotional filming), so we might well see something today if someone with a stupidly long lens manages to get on a hill outside Fiorano.

The wings are totally the same... :P

It's a nice tidy car, but i think it would look at least 400% better without that fin on the engine cover. Someone should photochop it out and prove me wrong

yes already autosprint did wrote on their magazine that windtunnel tests have pointed problems on aeropackage. don't know if it's true, only tests and few first grandprixs will show it.

looks quite good, i hope its fast enough for alonso to challenge for the championship.

Don't know if this has been posted, but: [formula1.ferrari.com]

Looks nice, and quite fast too. I'm really looking forward to the new season, the last time I looked forward too a season this much was 2007.

You know, after 2 car launches, it's nice to see none of those hideous wheel fairings, good riddance to them...

I know, and like I said, good riddance.

Another team going with the raised nose then, it looks like it could be a bit of a trend in 2010

it's nothing new, teams just don't want to show everything to their competitors, it's same every year.

Much .... much, better than the Mercedes Gp ................ I.M.O not necessarily the shape but for sure the livery.

Loving that Ferrari, it's so smooth and clean-looking, as has already been said. It's like they've taken on board any criticisms that were made about the appearance of the 2009 car and fixed the faults with this one. It looks awesome, and the change of livery compliments it beautifully. :D

Not up to Heidfeld's speed? Really? During their 12 races as teammates JV outqualified NH 7-5, and when Nick did qualify ahead Jacques was rarely more than one place behind him. He also outpaced Heidfeld in a number of races. That alone shows otherwise.
And calling his retirement in Canada a "silly mistake" is being unfair IMO. Jacques had to suddenly run wide off-line to avoid a very slow Ralf, who was being a complete tit and refusing to park a crocked car. The marbles off-line by that stage of the race were so bad that cars were uncontrollable if they got off the racing line. Once he got off the racing line he was always headed for the wall. Sure, he binned it, but he certainly had mitigating circumstances in that one.
