Ferrari's challenger this year to be called the F138

 wrote:">To be called… F138



Maranello, 30 January – The new Ferrari Formula 1 car which is being launched the day after tomorrow in a marquee inside the Maranello facility, will be called F138. The name of the fifty ninth car built by Ferrari to compete at the highest level of motor sport derives from a combination of the current year and the number of cylinders, partly to mark the fact that this will be the last year that the V8 engine configuration will be used in Formula 1, bringing to an end what will be an eight year career. With its fifty eight previous cars, the Scuderia is the only team to have taken part in every year of the championship and holds all the records in terms of titles won (31: 15 Drivers’ and 16 Constructors’,) Grand Prix wins (219,) pole positions (207) and fastest race laps (228.)

For Alonso's sake, they better have a lot more imagination in the aerodynamics to compete this season.

BTW Scorpion racing is too late. 2014, maybe.

The 'maybe' part has a lot to do with how much grease they place on the Bernie skids I'm sure.

Looking at the news posted in a previous comment,the cars of whose names start with 2 seems to bring them success.Will F138 break the combo?

[Jabberwocky]

I suppose there is a lot of 2's that could cover that.

Mclaren MP4-2* have had some success
Ferrari F1-200* where the Schumi years (can not remember what Kimi's year was called)



Where as for Williams the FW2* you could say is where it all started to go wrong.

I suppose the Lotus E20 was quite good as well.

I definitely prefer the new. Love the extra red on the livery.

Red like @ss on baboon.

[Frontrunner]

I still perfer the 2012 livery, they ruined it with the extra red IMO

[Hammer278]

From the side view, the shape of the new car is sleeker but yes, definitely loses out on livery.
