It looks VERY long to me....

The Ferrari looks like a threat...I mean when the 2012 car launched I was like, this car looks like sh*t. But not this time. Damn.

Yeah I'm not a fan of Ferrari at all but when I saw these photos I think it moved...

[What's Burning?]

There's quite a bit of rear missing from that Ferrari! Much better looking car aesthetically at least. The livery looks good, Marrusia take note on how to do red, black and white. There are changes all over but the most noticeable thing is the exhaust looks more horizontal than vertical.

I find the nose interesting - very different from most of what I've seen.

check out billy no mates lol.

The car looks competant, nothing striking.

Fatass nose...reminds me a lot of the Renault in 2008 and 2009.

check out billy no mates lol.

Maybe they can only afford to run one car this year.....?

My first impression is this is a dam nice looking car. A bit more black in the livery, but overall, a really nice look to this car.

Definitely more room under the nose and different front pylons.
The rear is definitely tighter with cleaner more defined coke-bottle everyone talks about. Added to this the rear suspension has been moved to clear the way for airflow. Rear beam looks different (wider and sculpted). Interesting the new fins that run top to bottom at the rear of the rear wing. Seem to be pointing outwards so I'm guessing this is to allow greater escape of airflow and lower pressure to provide more down-force and possibly to clean up air at DRS deployment. This is new and I'm surprised they would show it at the launch.

The Ferrari is definitely the most interesting launch spec car so far, lots of interesting little features to it, most of which spanky mentioned. The rear wing slats are indeed to diffuse the air outwards and create lower pressures, for more downforce. I find the front wing pylons a neat little modification, that extra area at the front will help channel air more nicely - i wonder how the hell they found the loophole for that part, it's a bit bizarre really. The nose itself is quite extreme too - very thin when you consider that they have the modesty panel in place.

It sure looks advanced compared to other cars so far, but we'll see what changes at testing. Looks can be deceiving mind you... i didn't think last year's McLaren looked too special then it was the quickest car on the grid!
