I like the two tone but yeah the green isn't appealing. Looks out of place.

MW is not on the car at many races so perhaps this green thing will be missing most races or when is on at races it will be black. Maybe its green for the launch to give maximum exposure of MW? Like the look of what they have done with the nose as they could not change the main structure.

Some say it's a typo error and it will be back

**speedmaster** · 10th March 2021, 11:38

Is it real? I see both racing numbers on the same car.

**jgonzalesm6** · 10th March 2021, 11:42

Not a fan of the green MissionWinnow logo on the engine cover.

Would have looked better in yellow (Shell colors) IMO.

The red into burgundy finish (rear) is okay.

Well if people really hate the green it's only a sticker and can be changed in a few minutes, dont think that requires tokens? Hope they do change it though that green just looks wrong.

It's for the presentation

**stefa** · 10th March 2021, 11:59

Green MW is hideous!!! Two tone red I don't like...

**tifosi1993** · 10th March 2021, 12:13

What a beauty.

**Redfive** · 10th March 2021, 12:15

Looks great but from one thing. The green! Yuck!! like the old saying goes "Red and Green should never be seen".

**dfunk257** · 10th March 2021, 12:19

Ferrari website has crashed lol!
I love it minus the green MW. What im really liking is our new nose!!!! FINALLY!!! Lets hope it works

**tifosi1993** · 10th March 2021, 12:21

Italian media turned out right for once. It's a new nose and it does look pretty interesting. At least some people here who were obsessing about nose job should be happy now.

**patrese86** · 10th March 2021, 12:24

Just watched the car launch. A good presentation but kept things in check and not hyping anything which i think is fair after last season and the limited development over the winter.

**RicRac** · 10th March 2021, 12:26

Interesting new Rear. The Ferrari Engine seems to be a lot more compact than its predecessor. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. If we look at the merc they opted for a larger engine, so much so that they have a bulge sticking out the side. The huge fin on the rear as well. The nose is about as good as it's gonna get for this year's regulations. ugly but hopefully more efficient. Side pod ducts more oval than last year's rectangular ducts. Seems also that they have gone with the theme and not revealed their floor. looks like it's still last year's floor on the car. Lastly, the livery looks good, barring the highlighter green Mission Winnow Logo. Could have gone for a more forest green, inline with the italian flag, but im sure we won't be seeing too much of the MW logo regardless. Bring on 2021, it cant be worse than last year :D

Charles also has to get used to the green

Extensive changes have been made on the front, not just rear. This is a completely different car.

**ferrari1.8t** · 10th March 2021, 12:52

Car looks beautiful minus the green MW branding! The rear looks much more tight and sculpted and I like that we have worked on the front nose. Hoping for positive outcomes at preseason testing. Forza Ferrari!

“The team have invested in a new power unit for this year’s championship – and the next four – one that team boss Mattia Binotto has already stated “recovers” some of the straight-line speed Ferrari and their customers lost last season.”

Can some one please clarify if there will be a new engine for 2022 different from this years? The article above leads me to believe that this years engine will be used for the next 5 years. If so, I ask again...why would Ferrari agree to a freeze and guarantee Merc 5 more titles? I hope some one can offer some clarity for me. Thanks

Therermal efficiency, in conjunction with our partner Shell and this has produced an improvement in lap time that we estimate at over one tenth of a second.

0.1 per lap improvement is only from the fuel, not the engine. It's a quite substantial improvement from the fuel alone.

**h3ro** · 10th March 2021, 13:06

I wonder if the matte paint makes having a smooth color transition difficult as it's not a seamless blend going from the full red to the darker shade by the rear engine cover.

As has been discussed, the green looks terrible. Marketing nonsense.

Hopefully it's a fast car. Carlos looks at home in red, doesn't he?

New engines allowed for 2022 but then frozen from 1st race of 2022.

**stefa** · 10th March 2021, 13:40

Green is disgusting! We should made petition to repaint it in black!
Car looks nice! I hope it is going to be fast and reliable, and give us joy!

2022 Ferrari will implement the Mercedes like split turbo design on the ICE.
