As hard a Ferrari has worked/spent in the off season, I predict that they will still be racing for second.
Vettel is on top and my guess is he'll stay there.

Didn't Enzo himself say, "The most beautiful car is the one that wins"?

If it wins a championship, people will look back at how good looking it is. True 'Dat.

IMO they all look like chit. Some do a better job of disguising the fuggly with paint.

The only good thing I can see is now there is a true racer on top....sure, Vettle makes mistakes but he's not a banzai banger.

It actually looks better beside that BMW M coupe!


I think a heavy flat black stripe along the front would hide the Lego bump - that's a great idea. Somebody please photoshop it!

Looks like they used more wax on the tires than on the Ferrari Scarlet Red paint.

Two ugly Ferraris in the same pic.

They sure spend a lot of time on the front wing. I wish the rules said single wing, one plane. That thing looks like the gizmo on a parking lot sweeper truck.

As with everything these days, the newer technology makes things uglier then the stuff with older, analog technology


old 911 vs new 911
old F4 or F-14 vs F-35, F22
old 1911 vs Modern polymer guns


the new stuff just ain't pretty.
