Yesterday I visited the Ferrari store in Milan, two of Kimi's F2007s were on display and I was admiring its beauty, if they put the F60 there next year or after, I guess I won't even be looking at it.

I have a mini F2007. Alright, it's just a keychain and could be whichever car you choose from the 2007 grid, but I really like it XD

Ferrari's newly launched 2009 single seater, the F60, has been declared "illegal" by a specialist German motoring publication.
Auto Motor und Sport said the car, revealed last week at the Mugello circuit in Italy, features rear exhaust outlets that contravene the sweeping new technical regulations.
The magazine said some of the Italian team's rivals have noted that because of the new rules cracking down on bodywork appendages like aerodynamic winglets, exposing the exhausts in the way the F60 is designed is not allowed.
A glance at the other new cars revealed so far - the Renault, Williams, McLaren and Toyota - shows that their exhausts have all been mounted in-board.
Auto Motor und Sport said it should not be too much of a problem for Ferrari to redesign the exhaust housing, but it may help to explain the team's retreat from the Portimao group test this week to Mugello.
Officially, Ferrari decamped to Mugello because of adverse weather forecasts for this week, but the magazine said the F60 also showed a significant problem with its front wing when tested last week.
It is suggested that, in light of these challenges, Ferrari concluded that it should be conducting the car's first major test as close as possible to its Maranello base.

Just like a few years back when they turned up with a flexi wing and were quickly told to get rid then.

The old one is the one that looks like a toy car!
I see that it will only take some using to them, because I haven't seen the old cars race and thus I don't like them more, they look weird to me.

Yeah, but everyone knows smoking is cool and dangerous, so it makes it even better

The on track performance thus far in 2009 has been a disaster and it was generally accepted that this was due to their fighting for the 2008 title.
However, I have just read an old interview with SD, taken last summer, in which he said that a team of people were already on the 2009 car to ensure that they didn’t fall behind in that race.
What went wrong.
