    Kimi's lid isn't as good looking as last year's (his best ever, IMHO)

    I haven't seen anyone commenting on it, but I love the 312T "homage" they did

    Weird: Weichai is still listed as a sponsor, but their logo is nowhere to be seen in the car...

    How do they know the downforce levels of the RB?

    Well, the italian colors on the 312T on the air intake is the same on the SF7-H's sail/shark fin....

    Exactly
    In every designed edge and wing this car shows more than ever: We want to win ...
    "If I was driving for Red Bull [from 2008] probably I would have more championships, but because they were dominating between 2010 and 2014 probably I would never have driven for Ferrari. I am very happy and very proud to drive for Ferrari, all my time there.

    I like the new car, except top of the nose. But as soon it proves it is a winner, who gives a @#$% about looks, right?

    I have just got home from work and seen the SF70H for the first time. I'm liking it, I'm liking it quite a bit! I can see the wing on top of the shark fin being banned eventually but happy so far

    Bloody hope so! Ferrari needs to get back to where it belongs. In this day and age, and the resources we have, we should be competitive all the time.
    CUT ME. CUT YOU. BOTH OUR BLOOD IS FERRARI RED!

    Let's not start sucking each other's ##### just yet!

    Let's see how it performs in Australia before we start patting ourselves on the back. They worked hard, they deserve recognition for that, but as beautiful as you may thing it is, this car has a better chance of being a turd than a diamond. We all know that unlike RBR Ferrari is incapable of polishing a turd mid-season so it has to be fast out the gate.

    Still think that nose is ugly as all hell, but what do I know.

    Sorry to bum everyone one. Just my $0.02

    I am very pleased with coloring, nice touch.

    Ferari is brilliant in red, and combination of two colors
    last year 3 color system doens worked

    But aero gismos this car have is very interesting and exciting.

    Glad to see that Ferrari doesn not want to copy merc/rb winning philosophy .
    Ferrari = 235 victories + 219 pole positions + 248 fastest laps = constructors championships 16

    yeah, how the car will perform in OZ will be the real answer as to how it stacks up against the might like Merc's and Red bulls....

    but let's first see how it does in these TWO sets for FOUR days of winter tests, how the it looks on track (from the experienced people that actually know more tehn me.....LOL), also how reliable will be and how much mileage will put on the car while being trouble FREE....

    even if the car will look fast and promising at tehse winter tests, we will STILL don't knwo how FAST it truly is, because i'm sure nobody will show their full cards....so for that will ahve to wait until Q3 in Melbourne

    oh, the excitement is building up

    WHY it would be hard to copy??? well let's jsut say hypethetically that our car will be fast as hell and will beat the competition out of the water....of course those ideas will be hard to copy because it's NOT jsut copying the sidepods...etc, etc....its' how the car works all together.

    it's liek US copying ideas from mercedes or red bull....it will not work 100% as it does in their car, because their whole car works becasue every little bit comes together as a WHOLE

    that is my understanding....but what do i know, i'm just a couch spectator....LOL

    About this, I agree - but by liking it and being excited doesn't mean I'm confident it will be fast. I HOPE it will be fast, and I'm encouraged. But of course, the important parts are yet to come.

    One thing I've noticed is that our design seems a lot wider than its contemporaries (particularly after looking at the McLaren pictures). Surely this would produce a lot of drag? What does everyone think??

    According to Gary Anderson from Autosport: "But I believe with this design it (Ferrari) has got a chance (at challenging the Mercs) and, as I said above, if it does the others will struggle to copy it quickly."
