Any more rake on that car and you could reverse it (the back wheels, at least) over a speed bump
The intakes on the sidepods stand out compared to the other cars we've seen thus far. I hated the white on the livery last year but it actually works really well as the shark fin. The T wing is, I imagine, similar to how the Merc will look when they stick a more realistic shark fin on the car for testing. It's not the prettiest looking thing but that won't matter if it's fast, which I really hope it is for the sake of a competitive, entertaining season.
fairly boring overall, the design doesn't look anywhere near as aggressive as the merc. The way the merc is ducting air down from the sidepods, looks like it is going to be unique among all the teams unless rbr figured that part out too.
Just doesnt look as well engineered as the merc. which is what you would expect really. looks draggy to the naked eye. will have to wait to see them all on track but unless the engine is an absolute masterpiece i suspect they will be fighting for 3rd place again.
though i think the melbourne car may be a bit different.
I know they are all around the same spec, but it looks shorter and more upright. It also looks like it is a collection of parts compared to the look of the Merc.
I know it is not high on the list of design features, but it looks to be a *inaudible* for the driver to get in and out of. Nowhere to stand and lift the leg.
I guess I need to go back and look at the other new cars that even been released, but there sure seem to be a lot of little canards/strakes sticking out along the edge of the cockpit.

It is underwhelming in terms of its appearance isn't it? Doesn't look like they have abused the regulations as thoroughly as Mercedes (especially with regards to the floor and barge boards). If it's true what they say (that looks corolate with speed) this may be a difficult season for Ferrari.
The nose is terrible again. I'm intrigued by the winglet on the sharkfin. The Side air pods are very different looking. I'm glad the removed some of the white from last year.

Every rule has a specific space within & since the engineers are mostly competent enough to give competition to one another, You could fins similar designs or parts here or there.
Which engineer can interpret the rule the best or even find a loophole whilst being in the rule window, will earn the most accolades.
