Good damn riddance

The Ferrari is beautiful

Looks like a mix of a couple historic Ferrari cars from each angle

All of the new cars so far have looked great really

 

[Sinner]

Also, great to see Herbie back. Guy's a legend.

That Ferrari looks sick! Let's hope it's as fast as it looks.

Masi had to go. It was the only choice.

is this good or bad for F1?

 

[Sinner]

How can you even compare the two???

 

[Sinner]

Silver Arrows is silver again.

It's comical how different the renders look from their car on stage.

 

[kanyeezy411]

Yeah it’s two completely different cars.
Renders should be an earlier development stage, because the car will be on track later today

She's a beauty

Ferrari doing a shakedown as well.

So glad the season is near.

The Merc is so slim compared to every other car so far. That will probably raise a few concerns amongst the other teams.

 

[Sinner]

Honestly, I don't miss that sound. This gen of engines will never win me over.

Yeah, they sound like lawnmowers

on my first impression, the Mercedes reminds me the most of the "old"/previous car generation. Like an evolution of the W11/W12.
Interesting, that they designed a bargeboard, without making a bargeboard. Watch it be banned for 2023...

Will be super exciting to see the configuration of the cars in Barcelona and especially Bahrain

Is there an aerial shot of the Ferrari for comparison?

I'm still surprised by Aston Martin's approach. It's just so different to Mercedes & McLaren.
They will either look very smart or dumb. I'd put my money on it not being a good sign

I mean, they probably sound decent IRL, but after experiencing V8's and V10's, there's absolutely no way you would find these appealing at all. It's such a joke and FOM puts up those "AUDIO UP" segments during the sessions... as if they were boasting the glorious sounds of these engines.

None that I could find but I think the Ferrari is wider than the Merc and the mclaren. I found these for comparison:

I think the Aston is the widest followed by the Ferrari.

 

[Sinner]

Hard to say how accurate those overlays are cuz all the photos/renders were taken/made from different focal lengths, which could slightly distort the dimensions of the cars. I'd wanna say most of the cars have similar widths. The biggest differences would probably be their wheelbase.
