The Alfa Romeo C42
Looking at the earlier iteration of the Haas and now the Alfa, I think Ferrari have done an incredibly good job with the engine. The packaging is top notch.
The Alfa has the tiniest sidepod exist out of all, so far.
I think that Alfa looks very competitive. Surely it needs to prove itself during testing. But that undercut is deep. That front wing looks interesting too. Alfa is the second team I support. So yeah I am pretty pleased actually.

Wolff and Hamilton won. masi is not the race director anymore. Hamilton already getting gifts before the season starts. Also, conversations between TP and race control to be kept secret and not broadcast anymore. Another win for sneaky Toto.

So 2023 started off bad, but managed to claw back some lap time come end of the year. Lets hope SF24 will give us tifosi something to smile about.

The renders they released are quite different than the actual launch car. Always a a farse is Mercedes.
As for the real car, the body work looks extremely tight, even though it's quite boring. Very similar to AM (surprise surprise), Mercedes run a very flat angle just outside the radiator inlets. They really are trying to kick out that air as hard as they can it seems. The waves in the floor are something new. And the rear wing is quite a lot different than what anyone else has shown. The front wing looks to be elevated, much like AM (surprise surprise), but what is surprising is that it appears the nose connects to the lower element. They also have the most extreme curvature to the front wing elements. It seems teams that have the high wing run very aggressive wing angles, and the low wing teams have smaller elements and less angle of attack. Even if their chassis isn't the best, the rear fear is in the PU under the bodywork. An advantage they enjoyed the entire hybrid era, aside from Ferrari's 2019 non-compliant PU.
It’s a nice looking car, very small side pods, but looks conventional, our looks radical and I hope it’s fast.
Merc looks like their last load of cars retro fitted with new wings and floor to make the current rules. They were the best during last generation but as these new rules are supposed to completely change how F1 cars work aero wise let's hope this Merc does not work with what's now possible. Did they simply not have enough budget/CFD/Windtunnel time for this car (they had the least). If this does have the best aero then new rules would be a failure as this is just a continuation on the whole of last generations cars slightly updated to fit new rules.
The silver livery and narrow sidepods look good, but seems to be a conservative design overall.
