The dark blue looks better in my opinion!

Better than that dull livery on the Toyota. Its tacky and looks like something from the 80's.

Still, looks like they've come with a better car just based on the looks, nice nose and a bit more sculptured all round. I know you can't judge a car on these things but come on guys its gotta be better than last years car! :roll:

Ferrari F2007 launched

http://www.itv-f1.com/News_Article.aspx?PO_ID=38236
Ferrari has revealed details of the car it hopes will return it to world title glory in 2007.

The team released technical specifications of its new challenger, designated the F2007, at a secretive launch at its Maranello factory.

Photographers were barred from the event but Ferrari published pictures of the car, the fifty-third grand prix single-seater built by the fabled Italian marque.

The new chassis incorporates significant modifications to the 248 F1 the team campaigned last year in terms of layout, bodywork and aerodynamics.

The F2007 features new front suspension that the team describes as “a major conceptual innovation, mainly in terms of aerodynamics”.

It also has a longer wheelbase than its predecessor and a narrower rear end, taking advantage of the more sculpted shape of the gearbox housing.

The gearbox itself, which is still mounted longitudinally, is fitted with an innovative “quick-shift” system.

The shape of the sidepods and their openings has also been revised, based on modifications to the cooling system, which also implies exits for the radiators on the upper part of the bodywork, while the engine air intake is also substantially different.

For the moment the F2007 has similar rear suspension to the 248 F1, but Ferrari said it plans to overhaul this once it understands more about the behaviour of the 2007 spec Bridgestone tyres.

As with other teams, there will also be significant aero upgrades before the season-opener in Melbourne.

As a result of the more stringent crash tests that have come into force this year, the F2007 is just under 10kg heavier than the old car.

Yeah must be. In some countries it will say Marlboro then and in other countries it will just show the lines.

Wow the sidepods are extremely tight on both the cars and renault's wing mirrors look interesting. Less than 24 hours till the mclaren is revealed then on tuesday the BMW F1.07 breaks cover.
