what is your opinion it will be 2007 chassis with 2006 wings so other teams won't copy them? i remember that happened last year in 248 when the front wing in the fiorano presentation, was from 2005 ugly-style junior wing in the middle..

According to Autosport (http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/56154) the car may not be at the launch :dozey: :crazy:

And according to my source (http://www.gazzetta.it/Motori/Formula1/Primo_Piano/2007/01_Gennaio/07/ferrari.shtml) Massa will test the car the day after ;)

Car Launch without car?! :eek:
Maybe Autosport got something wrong?

So we will have to wait one more day to see, or maybe not, the new car! :mad:

When the curtain is pulled back, you will see a smiling Massa and a serious Kimi. :p :

Anbody reckon it will look very similar to the last few years cars or do you think it will be a radical redesign?

Im thinkin it will look the same as before...

It will definitely be red.

As for a radical redesign......there is no point being radical when the design has been competitive.

That is unless Aldo Costa and the design team has discovered something special......and the days of F1 designers being able to discover something special are long gone. The rules just don't allow for mega-radical thinking anymore.

How long till we get to see Kimi in one?

[DimitraF1]

the fiorano test will be in close doors ,it will be difficult to see a new car and kimi in good pictures for now

Until then we'll have to make do with a few press snippets coming out of Maranello:

Jean Todt:
"It will be a healthy competition between two drivers that could create great results. We will be very careful to make sure that this internal rivalry does not become counterproductive. The interests of Ferrari are what is most important, and Raikkonen and Massa know this law very well."

Jean Todt:
"We didn't hire Raikkonen because Schumacher decided to leave racing. We had to think about the future and Raikkonen was the driver best suited to Ferrari's ambitions. He's very strong, quick, and his age - 27 years old - allows for many years of work at Ferrari. Any comparison would be out of place. I've just mentioned Raikkonen's characteristics, and they are of the first level whichever way you look at it. But, we don't know how we'll work together. Raikkonen is still a question mark here. But this is where Schumacher could intervene in his new role."

after 2-3 races ferrari will start to have no1 and no2 drivers.thats the teams policy and after all ,they did not gave so much money to hire raikkonen to have him supporting felippe massa.thats resonable

I think the biggest change, aside from aero gimics, will be the loss of Vodafone sponsorship.

[DimitraF1]

vodafone replaced with marlboro? maybe it will be a cleaner and better look

[DimitraF1]

a few hours until car will be on the track!!! i am looking forward to!!!
hey am i the only girl in here???

so you think the marlabro logo will replace the vodafone logo on the sidepod and the engine cover will be plain old red? that could be kinda cool... specially if it was red with a nice black prancing horse logo....
