    I don't, that's why I still prefer buying real newspapers and magazines. But their articles can also be found on that Internet thing...

    As Gianlu said(in that pic) ,it is probably just the 1st hand of paint.
    and according to the overalls ,it is very believable!!

    I'm no expert, but seeing how F1 teams are always trying to build the lightest possible cars, painting them white and then applying the final colour on top of that doesn't seem very logical to me. And don't forget the drivers overalls don't always match the cars

    So here is Kimi " supposedly" in the new car pic. Could'nt help but notice the air-inlet's supports color (carbon-fibre black????). Notice underneath the blue??? transparency... looks to appear black as well. Which all of this could also mean the car has yet to be painted....OR there is still painting to be done....OR its in its final livery.....but I digress.

    It's naked carbon fibre, probably yet to be painted. The area underneath the blue plastic is never painted, anyway

    Its also the area where the "head restraint"(gets taken off when exiting the car) that "clips" on to the car is never painted....bare-naked carbon fibre. Those supports are telling though.

    Can you imagine how I felt at the Hungaroring that year?!?! Devastated!!!

    I know it's the area where the head protection is attached to
    And the roll bar clearly has the two supports spotted in the Pirelli video, a first for Ferrari

    I do confirm that the first coat of paint is always white. That's because to get the "Red Ferrari", which is quite brillant, Ferrari have to pass a hand of white on carbon fiber, otherwise they would get a strange orange

    That's also why last year there was all the story that Ferrari would have saved weight leaving the white instead of the red


    Anyway, for who is interested, the launch is on Feb 24, 10am (CET) :)

    You are joking, right?

    Looks good to me and I wonder how much inside info artist G.Pirovano has to pen something so detailed

    I'm staying positive! I like the silent approach they've taken this year. At the very least it has kept me guessing which is more interesting... Hopefully the "leaks" were to temper expectations and we've actually built an amazing car.

    Bring it on Ferrari, stuff all the bull that's out there. Let's wait and see what happens. So sick of all the pessimists out there. Forza Ferrari.

    PREACH!! I love Ferrari and rooting for them, for better or worse, gives me LIFE. It seems pointless to be a Ferrari "fan" and do nothing but bag them out.

    Who knows? Anyways, although it's true italian media most of the time are way off the mark, sometimes they get it right: just look at this preview of the SF16-H. Yes they got the nose wrong, but all the rest, including the livery, is pretty much what the real car turned out to be

    Was it 2012 or 2013 when we had a good car at the start as we nailed the tyres then they changed the tyre construction.

    2013....Pirelli changed the tire construction after the Silverstone blow-outs.

    I feel your pain stefa, it should have been Felipe's WDC, no question, but Timo Glock ruined the whole season on the last lap, whatever happened before in that season didn't decide the final race or outcome.

    What a knock down that was!? Ufff... Still hurts... All those, lost in last minute, hurts like hell. MS against JV back in 1997....
