Doesn\'t really look any different from the F2007 apart from the re-profiled sidepods. As usual though, the version that rolls out for the first race will probably have some extra aero parts on it.

Least imaginitive name. Ever.
How about this one then, a turbo with the wastegate wide open untill the driver presses the boost button, then the wastegate returns enough boost to make another 75bhp for 8 seconds. Standard ECU to prevent abuse. Monitored constantly. Only allowed to use it if there is a car close in front, and a penalty given if the driver doesn't make an attempt to pass. We like?

I like the fact that most of the car is deep red. The only big difference is the Alice sponsor on the nose of the car & it being on the middle of the steering wheel.

Stunning 
The sidepods are what caught my eye. They look amazing, but I'm sure will get wrecked if running over some grass or a curb. Am looking forward to this years season as I'm sure all you guys are as well.

What a beautiful car!
And the attention to detail is amazing. Just comparing it to the ferraris in the late 90s, its like a whole completely different racing series! Like GP2 cars and now F1 cars look like they belong in airports.

I really am shocked at just how beautiful the F2008 is! It really is work of art and I've never been a fan of the Ferrari's, I've always found them a bit on the chunky side when compared to the Renault's etc!

Here is a comparison of the F2007 (top) and the F2008 (Bottom) I threw together. I guess the barge boards weren't really redesigned that much. Now you do have to take into account the F2007 is pre season so it does not have any of the additions that were made during the season. Man it's nice to see that #1 on the nose again. What you can see is that the back is even more coke-bottled then ever

The top profile on the front wing is very much like the Toyota's, how it flows into the nose cone.
The top wing profile on the rear wing has been curved as the profile reaches the wing end plate.
What are everyone thoughts on the higher sides around the driver's helmet? It will be interesting to see just how cocooned the driver looks in the c#ckpit with the higher sides, especially the drivers that are shorter or like to sit lower in the car.
Nice design in all - it looks to have the goods to deliver another Championship to Kimi.

Aparently the wheelbase is to within a few millimeters of the F2007's wheelbase.

I disagree, I think it's the same scarlet red that they ran since about Monaco, not the Marlboro inspired red your talking about Jez. It's hard to tell exactly till it hits the track at Fiorano tomorrow.

Perhaps. It looks similar to the colour of the Ferrari in Dribblers sig. I'm Looking forward to hearing Kimis opinions of the new car after his first thrash in it!

No, it's the same scarlet red they finished 2007 with, i'm certain now. Have a look at this picture Jez.
