And italian flag around the airbox

 

[massivekettle]

Sidepods are shorter but very long/streamlined

Rear is tight AF. Rivalling McLaren's size zero...

Is it confirmed that their nose is temporary?

 

[Norwegian Rudo]

And the white too. Jesus, it's a Ferrari, just make it all red and call it a day.

It's supposed to be Marlboro advertising, isn't it?

 

[Psychotext]

Are the cars longer this year, or is it an optical illusion?

 

[Jezbollah]

Part of me thinks that there's too much white on that car. The rest of me just hopes the thing is quick

Also, I wonder how much the Haas will look like this?

 

[massivekettle]

It appears longer because sidepods are slimmer, I believe. Don't see why cars would be longer this year as aero rules haven't changed.

 

[PdotMichael]

Looks like everything is more compact and streamlined.

The Haas is supposed to be very similar, but I think Gene Haas already came out and said their chassis would be better than Ferrari's.

 

[DrM]

Ferrari will have a filming day on Sunday in Barcelona

 

[Staab]

Looks pretty rad tbh, I hope it's quick too

It looks much better in those renderings than in real life, IMO. Or maybe it was the lighting...

 

[bobnowhere]

Quite like it, immediately made me think of the 93.

Now only if it would sound like one too!

 

[Zeknurn]

The SFIST had a better livery. They shouldn't have reintroduced the excessive white.

I'm also disappointed that they didn't opt for another hilarious name for their car.

 

[ramparter]

Too much white and black. Why they keep reducing the red?

 

[DrM]

Racing suits for Seb and Kimi

 

[Psychotext]

I can't say I've got strong feelings either way on the livery. Will wait to see it in motion before deciding.

Don't you like SFIGH?

 

[nature boy]

OK, where is the pornhub sticker?

 

[Addnan]

This makes me want to got out and buy some cigarettes.

Was my first thought too.

I really like it.

 

[gutterboy44]

Loving the new cars so far. The matte Red Bull is their best paint yet and that Ferrari looks great. That rear end...so tight.

 

[JadedWriter]

Toguro feelings.

The Honda engine only needs 20% of it's spirit power to complete the race...

 

[Ark]

Loving the new Ferrari livery.

Is the Red Bull livery confirmed to be their actual race livery, or just a testing livery?

 

[DrM]

F1 Fanatic ‏@f1fanatic_co_uk

Mercedes will release images of their new car on Sunday then present it on Monday morning

Mercedes lineup for first test - HAM / ROS / HAM / ROS

Also they published on board footage of new car on their FB - they had only half of the lap opened in Silverstone for filming (and probably due to mileage limit)

 

[AndyD]

That Ferrari livery is nice. The Merxc spy shot is weird though, where's the nose?

 

[brotkasten]

Any bets on which car will break down first during testing?

 

[JadedWriter]

Either the Honda or something Renault powered. Not even worth betting on.

 

[Zeknurn]

No one posted the onboard from the W07 with Rosberg?

[DrM]

Mercedes locked their Twiter profile, so only followers will be able to see their pics (snippets of new car)

It will be locked until 8 pm CET

 

[Ryne]

Yeah, they did, that's weird. Oh well, I was already following so lets see if they do something unique.

MERCEDES AMG F1 ‏@MercedesAMGF1 21s21 seconds ago
Today is all about you: our #BestFans! As our way of saying thanks,we're giving you an exclusive 1st look at some mega stuff today #WeAreW07

 

[Cheeseman Battitude]

That Ferrari looks tremendous. Nice low sidepods, fantastic cut-out underneath them and nice tight rear. It will be interesting to see how similar the Haas looks.

 

[Zeknurn]

Honda protege and GP2 racer Nobuharu Matsushita has joined McLaren as a test and development driver.

@adamcooperF1: 1/2 The significance of @Nobu_Mat13's F1 apprenticeship is that Honda is now motivated to supply another team and find him a 2017 seat
@adamcooperF1: 2/2 In effect McLaren and Honda need a Haas-style sister team. Manor was up for grabs, but Mercedes got there first. Sauber might work...

 

[Zaru]

The sister team thing is hilarious considering every other team aside from Manor had more points than McLaren last year

From the side is almost exact copy paste of W06, only with more streamlined sidepods

 

[Zeknurn]

Honda will supply Red Bull and McLaren will become the B-team.

 

[TCRS]

oh god what a beauty <3

lets win this shit

 

[Aiii]

Unless you're talking about the Mercedes, nobody's winning shit, indeed.

 

[DrM]

I took this still from Mercedes short vid, damn it is tight in the rear and you can see massive undercut beneath sidepods

 

[massivekettle]

Doesn't really look all that tight to me. I think you may be fooled by the black paint.

If that's the car they will unveil tomorrow I don't see how it's any different from the W06. I actually thought this was a W06 upon first glance.

Happy to be proven wrong of course.

 

[DrM]

Been rolling the twitter movie in that three second segment and black paint nicely camouflage the body shape but it is very tightly packed in the back - best seen right before car disappear from camera's FOV

And of course the car is similar to W06...

 

[ElTorro]

The Ferrari's livery is starting to grow on me. Don't like the dick-nose. Hope that they refine that part during testing.

Probably they will introduce Mercedes like short nose in Melbourne

And possibly screw something badly.

 

[Psychotext]

Fully expecting the suspension to work backwards or something.

 

[DieH@rd]

I am not trying to look for too much details in these new livery pictures. I want to see how will they look on track during TV race coverage.

Sidepods a bit narrower, and yeah, the airbox is huuuge, but not sure if it's a permanent design or can be adjusted depending on cooling requirements.

Otherwise, nose looks similar (might be sloping differently, though). Not sure what's changed to be honest, unless they will change nose/wings, etc. during testing.

[bobnowhere]

A couple of the spy pictures did suggest a new airbox but I wasn't expecting one you can kick a football down. I suspect they are up to something.

Yeah, there's definitely more to that.

It's massive!

 

[RoKKeR]

Wow that is massive.

I'm scared.

 

[kharma45]

It's supposed to be Marlboro advertising, isn't it?

It's exactly that. They still sponsor Ferrari. Sure stick their logo on and voila, it's extremely obvious why Ferrari has the white

It's been going on for ages http://jalopnik.com/5530745/ferraris-subliminal-cigarette-ads

I actually quite like this ad sans the fact it's for ciggies, the one on the left
