I hoped that they'll go for the RBR-styled nose though...

It's a difficult question. I can say that this F1 Car is one of the most beautiful Ferrari ever"

Yyyyeah... No.
F2001 up to F2008? Sure. F60? Yeah. They started putting more white in 2010, but the 2010 and 2011 cars still looked ok.
This one? Nah. Either put a huge "Marlboro" sign on that white area or get rid of it altogether.

But hell, I wouldn't mind if it was pink and had a tripple nose, that would put the 2014 Lotus to shame, as long as it made the Mercs sweat A LOT.

That rear is very agressive, but should provide more downforce ...

Don't like the white at all on the Ferrari. The more red a Ferrari has, the better it looks.

The Red Bull logo definitely looks better without the white border. Good job Red Bull!

In what way is it more aggressive? Asking because I haven't read anything on it, so I have no idea.

It's thinner than on last year's car, Mclaren style

Thanks guys, updated the OP.

btw, the W07 has been caught doing a shake-down at Silverstone.

(Not gonna put it in the OP as it's not official and you can't really see anything)

Edit: Now they even uploaded an onboard video of it.

The most beautiful car so far

That airbox though ... looks like they haven't improved on the cooling compared to last year ...

Nick Gregory · Feb 21, 2016

I may sound a bit pessimistic about it, but it probably be business as usual, with both Mercedes at the top of the podium most of the time. I really hope the SF16-H is as fast as it looks.

McLaren

The number doesn't fit really well, the MP4-30's number was even better.
----------
And for the Mercedes, it's what I call a brand new Mercedes livery.

Chris · Feb 21, 2016

Pretty cool

Eckhart von Glan · Feb 21, 2016

impressions so far: underunderwhelming (exception: maranello)
if this is the first glimpse of the new season, what kind of a season is it going to be? i'll probably stick with my routine of watching laps 1 and 2 and then read up on the results in the evening ...

Too bad the front end of the car is only there to hold a wing(s) in place. The past few years cars have been really ugly.

Philip Heck · Feb 21, 2016

OMG, enough with the black cars already... ffs

I must agree with that.

Weeks ago on the F1 Colours site, I said this:

Let's hope there will be lesser boring colours on the 2016 grid. -fandericciardo3 (me)

Currently there's...2 black cars, both are Renault and McLaren. Renault's livery will change before Australia, and I predict McLaren will be the only black car on the grid.
