Initial Conditions

Ferrari was the first team to unveil its new car at Mugello today, and here it is.

The strange shape is a lot to do with the new aero regulations laid down by the FIA to cut costs and increase overtaking. It’s a radical departure from what we are used to, and kind of reminds me of  GP2 or Formula 3 cars, but if it does result in increased overtaking then I’m sold. What I’m looking forward to most is the fact that drivers can now get a boost out of corners which may result in yet more overtaking. It remains to be seen if the Spanish GP will be worth watching for a change though.

PS I’m not a Ferrari fan, but I was looking forward to seeing what the cars this year would look like.
