100% agree. The silver arrows from 1997-2005 were the best. Shame in 2006, they pretty much ruined it. 2001-2003 were great, the best was 2005 MP4-20 by far.

have a look at this "swollen" nose

most of them were quite nice tho...

But I think the most beutiful F1 car of recent years is STR02.

F2004 nose was also like that.

Anyway one of my favorite ferraris was the F2001, with the newer low nose. And the Monza (9/11 tribute) blacked nose F2001.

I take back what I said earlier about the mp4-8 today I was privilaged to see the Jordan 191 in the flesh what a car pure perfection

There's something about the Ferrari 312 and 312B that I find very attractive.

And as cool as the piercing sound of a modern 19k RPM engine is, hearing a 3L throwing down power between 7 and 10k is pretty hot.

F248 also was launch with that wing.

F2004M then.

I meant not wing (which is ugly too) but the 'swollen' nose

It looks that way because the wing is raised. The vertical structures supporting it are way shorter.

the wing was actually very smart idea since that was another year of raising the front wing main more.

looks like it. Also the car IS F2004M not F2005 (lower pic). So you were right here.

No it's becuse it IS like that... peresumably has more ballast inside to compensate less efficient FW.

I love the MP4/4 the most, but the Ferrari from the same year isn't far behind

jddh1 · Post 12 Jun 2007, 18:54

I loved the Renault livery last year. It was pretty cool. But yes, Ferrari have some kind of passion about their cars that attracts people to them. I just wish all the appendages were not there except the front and rear wings. I'd keep the T-camera, but seriously, there have to be smaller cameras that can fit there and thus make that T a lot smaller.

Phoenix · Post 12 Jun 2007, 20:51

Well, I must disagree with jddh1 and mostly everyone on these forums in the fact that I love a car with all the aero bits all over it. Maybe that is due to the fact that I'm a beginning aero student, however I like it.

Also, I like the looks of old cars, but I must take Enzo's philosophy and say that I am always a fan of the newest cars. For example, I was completely infatuated with the MP4-20, however, I am now drooling over the MP4-22 and same goes for the 248 and the 2007.

That is my two cents.

gracias

The F2007 looks even better now with the new darker shade of red. I was not a fan of the Marlboro Red of the previous years. But even though, I have the feeling its not true Ferrari red, rosso corsa.

And last years was really easy on the eyes, the 248 F1. Too bad Ferrari had the '07 livery on it during testing pre-season.

Y me imagino que hablas español verdad? Casi no hay miembros aqui lo hablen.
