IMO as a Ferrari fan, it ain't the prettiest car they have produced

[bud]

visibly it isnt too different from the F2007 apart from the fishmouth front nose

[McLaren Fan]

It's not as radical as Ferrari were saying, but there are some big differences. I can't imaging getting into the thing is easy with a huge barge board and some other aerodynamic kit coming out from the floor of the car, just beside the cockpit.

The cockpit edges have been raised as well. Front wing looks quite similar to what Williams had last year.

Spy scandal alert!

Might the cockpit edges have been enlarged because of Coulthard and Wurz's nasty collision early last season? I know both of them were making overtures to the FIA about looking into it.

That's exactly what it was from, it was agreed at the last GPDA meeting that cockpit edges should be raised.

i saw a rumour on the internet that this was going to be the new ferrari

[Dutchcruijff]

Front nose of the rumour looks like the williams of 2004

[f1usa]

Looks Good, but length of wing forward of front tyres could be a problem. As a McLaren fan, I have no problem with Ferrari pitting under race conditions just to get a new nose.

Actually the rumoured version shown above was drawn by somebody on DeviantArt.

In the top view it reminds me a bit of an arachnid. I'm not a fan of fishmouth wings, but their solution looks a little bit more pleasing to the aesthetically inclined eye, somewhat like Alice's voluptuous red lips.

No ones noticed yet then.
Look at the Toyota F1 car from 2007. Then at the front of the new ferrari

They look similar for sure, but given Toyota's Formula One cars are as aerodynamic as something Fred Flintstone would drive, I'm not sure we can read too much into that!
