    It also surprised me, but it looks like the trestles used at each gp for assembling cars

    I know that the performance matters the most, but; did anyone catch the Ceva logo placement/the black-patch?

    I know what you mean but it's an improvement over Velas.

    A great car launch I thought, great to see it on track.

    The engineers didn't go as deep as last year regarding the concave spooning on top of the sidepods trailing down the engine cover....interesting.

    Wing diverters on the Ferrari front wing. These were blocked last year when Mercedes introduced them on their W13. These will likely get taken off.

    The car looks lean and mean. F1-75 had the best concept, but Ferrari refused to develop that strong base.

    I'm glad that they kept the original concept and polished it more with the SF23.

    Absolutely beautiful machine! Let’s hope she’s fast, reliable and a winner!

    Hilarious to read all the but-hurt Mercedes fans already crying that our car is illegal. It was literally just launched

    Did these trolls not watch the last 10 years of F1 and all the special treatment Merc gets? Hilarious!

    Why are they saying our car is illegal?

    The winglets on the front wing, banned off of Mercedes last year. (Probably just a launch spec for us unless we found a loophole)

    Wings next to the roll-hoop….

    It wasn't banned. Other teams threatened protest and Mercedes decided not to use it. The FIA didn't deem the wing "illegal".

    Excerpts from Autosport

    Regarding Mercedes wing last year:

    The rules stated that, while such slot gap separators were allowed, they were not supposed to deliver a direct aerodyamic influence.
    The regulations stated that such strakes could be fitted ‘for primarily mechanical, structural or measurement reasons.”

    However, a dive into the regulations has explained why Ferrari has pushed ahead with the design.

    As part of revised technical regulations for 2023 that were published in early December, the FIA removed the key sentence that laid down the requirement for such strakes to be ‘primarily’ for mechanical, structural or measurement reasons.

    This means that as long as the slot gap separators provide a ‘structural connection’ between consecutive front wing profiles, and comply with strict measurement requirements, then they are now fully legal – no matter how much of an aerodynamic boost they deliver.

    The car looks ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL...I hope they will keep the FERRARI on the rear wing
    It looked so good last year when they had it fir the Monza Race
    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.

    totally agree with you on this one, but sponsors bring LOTS of money, and they are paying BIG BUCKS to have that advertised on our car....but yeah, it would have looked so much better if that spot would have been RED
