Yeah, that looks amateur. The challenge version turned out better:

The black one seems to have a different front end. No Gills at the radiator outlets.

It's now in the USA

It looks like they moved the radiators further in, away from the minor impacts.

After the rule changes Ferrari didn't jump on the opportunity to introduce paddle-shift, unlike Porsche.

I think this is still not what I would consider a silhouette, the backbone chassis is still the aluminum spaceframe/monocoque of the Ferrari, just more reinforced with altered suspension geometry....

the front reminds me of a pagani huayra, but not as pretty

YES!! No more I-4 Turbo's!!! for now at least...

This is the problem with F1 today, people that see a loop hole (or a "loose" rule) and decide to close it instead of letting the flaw in the rules be fully exploited.
This experimenting/ingenuity/looking for an advantage is what f1 is about, its all about who can get closest to breaking the rules and pushing design and engineering to the limit. Thinking outside the box!!

I was watching the timing and scoring of P1 from Sebring this morning online. For the first set of laps car 062 set with Jamie Melo it was listing he was driving the F430GTC. Is this correct or did the timing site just have the wrong car data loaded and if they were running the F430 what was the purpose?
