Yeah well, why regress after having seen some beautiful cars in the past?

Frankly Frank I cannot understand this outlook yet I can respect one's opinion.

Remember the Cheek of it all thread? You're a frequent poster there, aren't ya? Well, it's all nice and dandy to talk about a woman's character qualities and all, how racy she is, yes. But a nice packaging around those core values doesn't hurt the impression, does it?

ok.

The Ferrari looks really nice! Personally I never really had a problem with the 09 spec cars, but of course there will always be complainers

no, complaining because of their taste I know there will always be different tastes, but hey at least these cars are fast unlike the IRL crapwagons which are butt-ugly and slow as poo.

I would never compare F1 cars with other series, only with itself.

I'm not comparing it. I'm just saying that to some people they're ugly, but hey, at least they're fast. Unlike the IRL who has ugly cars and on top of that, they're slow as poo.

When you use the word 'unlike' you compare

I like the look of the car because its simple. Its the racing I am more interested in though, if these new regs increase overtaking then job done!

yeah i agree

when i first saw the BMW interim car i thought how ugly it was, it was a shock! but since then seeing some of the teams take on the front wing in particular it hasnt been so bad afterall. The Ferrari take on it is rather sleek and pleasing to the eye.

But saying that in no way am i suggesting the 09 reg cars look better than the previous regs!

Bring on the Mclaren

Ferrari get to work on F60 glitches

By Jonathan Noble Tuesday, January 13th 2009, 16:10 GMT


Ferrari engineers have begun a debugging process for the F60 in a bid to solve the technical problems that hindered the first running of the car at Mugello in Italy on Monday.

The Maranello-based team were the first team to unveil their 2009 challenger and they used the opportunity to get the first track mileage with their KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System).

But, as was almost to be expected with such a radically different design, the first test was hit by a few mechanical issues that meant they could not complete a full day of running.

After a few laps in the morning, Massa was forced to sit on the sidelines for several hours before the car returned to action in the afternoon. In the end he completed around 100 kilometres.

With testing so limited prior to the season, when a full scale testing ban comes into force, Ferrari are determined to ensure that they do not lose valuable track time by suffering any more problems in next week's running at Portimao in Portugal - when new cars from Toyota, Renault, McLaren and Williams will go head-to-head for the first time.

Ferrari confirmed on Tuesday that engineers have spent the day in meetings, thoroughly analyzing the first batch of data from Monday's running of the F60 as well as beginning a troubleshooting exercise to avoid further mechanical issues.

The meetings were joined by Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo, who could not attend the shakedown at Mugello on Monday because he was in Rome on other business.

Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali said on Monday that he expected a quite difficult build up to the season, because so much was new with the 2009 cars.

"Today's presentation is important for us, because this is the first set of tests on a race track," he explained. "I imagine that we will have problems, the typical problems linked to race track, and we will have to solve these is a different way.

"Tests are reduced, we are down to 15,000km, and there are no tests during the season so we have to be as efficient as possible. We have to use testing benches a lot more than in the past.

"The first objective to meet is to have a car that is highly reliable, as reliability placed a very heavy burden on us last season. We also want to understand the potential of KERS and then solve all the reliability problems."
