Theres a Ferrari proto with a similar mirror placement, it was in one of the Forza games a while back.

Also lol at the terrible garbageman Australian Red Bull Driver who already managed to crash the car even before they started testing.

Btw, a lot of people think the met office is being conservative with the temps at this stage. A lot of models are showing it 5-7 degrees colder than the met are willing to predict.
It'll be great if there's basically no winter testing and the first race feels old-school, with nobody properly prepared and cars failing left right and centre.

Left and right of the Toro Rosso garage will do anyway, so no surprises there.

It's quite normal for teams to do a private shakedown using their 100km allowance. You even mocked Ricciardo for crashing during Red Bull's, for instance.

It's also normal for teams to hold back stuff until the first race.

It is normal as well for Ferrari to be incapable of winning championships

An easy way to tell if a team is cheating.

1) Is the team based in Britain?
2) Is the car built by ugly fat british people with bad teeth who only eat yorkshire pudding whatever that is?

If the answer to both of these questions is yes then the team is cheating.

2007, they switched from Marlboro red to rosso corsa from Monaco onward. The last full season in proper Ferrari red was 1996, I think.

McLaren has had the best chassis literally every year as they are the best team by far. This year they will be able to show it too because it’s the first time since forever that they don’t have an “engine partner” from an Axis power to sabotage them.

It impressed people last year but that might have been McLaren running higher than optimal downforce, making them look good and Honda look bad...

They generally did a Red Bull style 'very good in the corners, slow on the straights' aero setup, but without the one lap pace to take advantage of it in quali and with a power unit that couldn't harvest enough energy for a full lap without catastrophically overheating.
