“We keep on working, we do our thing,” Vettel shouts over the team radio, “We are who we are!”
"Vettel is a champion. That’s not referring to his achievements, but rather to his approach to everything he does. He wins. All the time. His preparation is meticulous, his attention to detail reminiscent of Michael Schumacher at his peak, and his performance on the track is almost always flawless. Vettel is capable only of domination. He knows no other way... Vettel is not in Formula One to be liked. He is there to win. And in the words of Ayrton Senna, perhaps the greatest of all Formula One drivers, “Nice men don’t win.”"

I had another look at the other cars with step-down noses. Ferrari claims this car is radical...HOW? They all look the same...the little wiglets at the sidepods and even the airboses? Also the rear-wings...same shape across all three!!
I hope RBR goes the same route as Mclaren so I can vote for them both

Despite the ugly nose the car is nice -as nice as an F1 with current rules could be! Interesting the exhaust solution and the radical change in the front suspension. Let´s wait and see how good it is.

Kimi Raikkonen: It is the same thing that I said before. I have no interest in driving for a bad team next year. If I race here, I always try to finish as high as I can. I don't need anything to motivate me. If I drive, I drive to do my best and that is it.

I just always end up disagreeing with you guys because of all the huge exaggerations, myths, theories & unjustified statements
Lewis Hamilton:
I never go with expectations, I go with a target. That is to be at the front, and the ultimate aim to win, which is the mentality I have always gone racing with.
You've got to be on the limit all the time - and I love that, because that's how I love to race.

ferrari has taken new directions therefore is 'radical' from their point of view

I guess that also apply to the rest of the cars except for Mclaren.

I wonder if, as with the skinny rear wing and hugely wide front wing, we'll get "used" to this look by season's end. Hmmmmm...

Question to those who know: aren't pull-rod suspensions supposed to be more fragile than push rod ones? If so, considering that Alonso just loves to attack aggressively those kerbs and Massa just don't know how to drive around them...

Seriously though, it looks good - in the shots where the front tires hide the hump in the nose.

Noop. Fragility is bot inherent to the system but to the design parameters. In other words when you design a piece of equipment you calculate the stress and forces and then add a security factor depending on the type of service: 1.1 ; 2 ; 3 etc. The problem becomes when the designers want to extract some advantages and push the system to the limit: if you want to achieve better aero performance with a pullrod you must use thinner arms and then comes Felipe and we know how it ends!

In any case, I didn't mean the car as being fragile per se, but, like you said, fragile considering the guys that are going to drive it.

Looks amazingly horrible... but I guess that's because I still haven't seen the rest. If they're all equally hideous that would be interesting... And because I know nothing about cars I always link looks to performance, so Ferrari don't look like a championship contender XD
