Default F-1 Ferrari Launch!

Pics, wallpapers, all the news.

So stupid question: What/Who is Vodafone? Is this a telephone service provider? A manufacturer of phone equipment? Sure looks like a rather large new sponsor, and there is no FedEx sponsorship, which I would think, helped the team, a lot with getting all their stuff from place to place.

And what's up with the yellow in the Shell logo being brighter than the yellow in the Ferrari logo???

Thanks for the link mate.

Vodafone are one of the biggest celular phone service providers in the UK and I think they have subsiduries across Europe.

Nice pictures of the launch but I think this season's sponsor decals are a little gaudy and ill positioned. Those white barge boards are a bit nasty

The "periscope" exhausts have changed a lot from what they've run the last two seasons or so as well... looks like its a pretty groundbreaking concept even without the new transmission

Does this look like a wide angle V10 to anyone else??

Compare it to the Renault V10 from the coming seasons R202



Interesting...

I thought the best the Ferraris have looked in a loooooooooooooooong time was in Indy last fall when they ran with no sponsor stickers at all. The cars looked beautiful.

No arguments here! Sponsorship is a necessary evil but they did look so elegant unadorned...

Is that other driver Barrichello? For some reason I thought Ferrari wasn't bringing him back. Oh well, I just hope Jacques has a good year. He is due, and Schumacher is bound to lose a championship soon or later.

Your welcome and thanks!

I too was not thrilled with the look of the car with the new logos and those white side boards. Oh well, most of the time we see the car it will just be a fast blur and I'm okay with that!
