Ferrari F10

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

I like the sidepod panel support structure that attaches to the sidepod. Seems nicely curved for aero purposes. I'm sure this car will be completely different when it first races.

I feel disappointed for some reason, i think i was expecting more obvious changes. I think we had a treat last year so from now on we have to expect less. Who knows theres more too come yet.

I can't put my finger on it but i look at it and it just looks....strange. I don't know why, something don't look quiet right. Perhaps its because its much longer and bulky

One thing you can't argue with Ferrari is the beauty of their cars. Wether they make wining cars or dogs, they're always gorgeous! =D>

darn, another fugly Ferrari.

Only thing interesting is the double deck splitter under the driver.

Diffusor well, lets see on Monday but I doubt they will have anything more funky than Merc or Red Bull.

This car looks fat and lumbering and it has'nt turned a wheel yet.

Is this a clue for what is going on around the diffuser? Stepped planes?

diffusor looks shorter, not full width, but only the rear wing width, or am I wrong?

Tyres are 2010 spec. Tweet from f1fanatic and James Allen confirm.

I like the new proportions of the car. More sleek instead of stubby like last years.

donno, looks like it could even be a stepped floor, but not even sure if that is legal. maybe a peice of the floor is cut away and flipped up, so that there is no overlap. that would make it legal. sort of. if its even that. sorry about the speculative post but i'm excited and the res on the photo is really crap. no offence to the photographer, in fact good job :)

I am such a genius.

The new car looks slightly dissapointing to me, it hasn't changed much from last years only updates we already guessed at. The diffuser will be the crucial part now seen as the rest looks pretty mundain.

What is the point of launcvhing a car and showing only the front end. There is no top and rear view. This launch is a charade. Good that people did not go there.

This event was for the sponsors & the hype generation..

The real info & photos come out on monday at the track. The car can't hide for much longer..


The car looks so damn long! Its like a pregnant F60.
Front nose pokes so much further forward.
Engine air intake is smaller than the F60 too, interesting since the engine is the same..

Form follows function thats for sure, one of the most ugly Ferrari contenders, equal with last years monstrosity and second only to the 'Bathtub' F310 - my opinion - dont hate me for it.. Never been a fan of Ferraris with too much white paint on them.

Ferrari calls off F10 shakedown
The Ferrari team has been forced to call off the shakedown of its new car due to the poor weather conditions at the Fiorano circuit.

Brazilian Felipe Massa was scheduled to give the new F10 its first run today after the car was unveiled in Maranello this morning.

However, the Italian circuit was covered with ice due to the low temperatures and Ferrari has been forced to postpone the run.

The team said it will carry out the shakedown as soon as the weather allows it.

is it just me having the impression that they have increase crosssection of the car substantially with those brows on the outer extremes of the sidepods? this is a bit like last years BMW-sauber sidepod...
