Both Acer and AMD seem to be gone as sponsors...

GrandPrixDiary This Ferrari launch is like watching paint dry. I've seen more spontaneity at a Kim Jong-un speech day.

Ferrari fan or not. This launch sucked in all areas.

I bet that where it counts, as in how many people paid attention to it, it really didn't.

Maybe the first time I like the red/white, the white strip around the bottom and selected black parts (like at the FW support) make it look very sleek.
LOL at the amount of trolling here, you know who you are and you should be ashamed.

The black is a bit old school, which I like. But I don't like it with the white. I think they need to dump the rest of the white if they want to keep the black.

Got to see high res photo's of the car before the waffling and droning on about PR talking points. Unintentional success i'd say.

What we supposed to see there? There is no mention of AMD or Acer.

It's your opinion. May be something was missed in the translation(I prefered to hear the original language), but there was definetely something different today.
I have seen a special connection between drivers and the team. Unlike McLaren robots for example and the fake atmosphere.

I didn't watch the launch, but the car itself is the most interesting and different of the launches so far, so I see it as a win.

And get rid of the silly rounded shape of the black on the nose.

And paint the wheels black. Or gold, but preferably black.

Then it would work a treat.

Looks nice, I think the white on the front and rear wings doesn't work though. Someone photoshop the wings completely red please

Car looks fabulous. Love the raised nose. Back to the Squalo days.

If they swapped the white on the front wing for black, they might be able to blend it in with the rounded shape on the nose to make it look ok. Getting rid of it works too.

I'm in total agreement on the wheels though. Need to be black or gold.

I like how Ferrari presented the car to their drivers rather than the past ritual of drivers presenting the car to us.
Looks beautifull.

Classy prentation, no need for fake actors and the important people was there speaking, not hide in a cave. Pretty car, let's hope its fast.

Pretty sure i know what you are trying to say, pretty sure Paddy Lowe is not in a cave.

Yeah, I might be being picky there.

I have a feeling that the deeper colour, white stripe with black shadow and curvy bit round the sponsor name might be at least partially explained by these two images:

I'm guessing they weren't entirely aesthetic decisions.

As many others have said, the F138 is a beautiful design. I love the added black, and the white wrap around doesn't bother me at all. The aggressive, "chiseled" nose is different, but the key is for this "Red Head" to be FAST right out of the box.

Am I right to say I don't see an RBR-esque tunnel at the exhaust area and no channel for a passive DDRS? I know this is the launch spec but Lotus seems to have those on their car.
