Ford replied by making the F40 and cleaning up Ferrari at LeMans
There has been bad blood between these two companies for a while
It was a silly risk for Ferrari to take, or, could it be they are just clueless about USA's best selling pickup???
to be pedantic and all that but Ford made the GT40 and old man Ferrari's butt with them.
The 40 in the GT40 was the height in inches.
Ferrari made the F40 in the late 80's and never really campaigned it.

I'm gonna disagree. They fit the "Bull" on the Toro Rosso fine without extending the fin. I don't think Red Bull would make a body part larger or in a different shape to fit an advertisement.
This is the RB7 without the shark fin


They wouldnt have put the shark fin just for advertisements. It is used for yaw stability, but it also gives more advertisement space. You need money to play in F1 so more space for advertising is always a plus.

Williams have unveiled their race livery. the previous dark blue and white numbers was just an interim livery.



Which livery do you guys like better?

In a little less than a week the last test of the season will commence. It was suppose to be held at Bahrain, but with what has been going around in the Middle East, the last test will be in Barcelona. Some questions we will be wondering is will teams bring out there race spec versions to test before Australia? Will we be getting the true glimpse of each teams true pace? Is Mercedes finally going to bring new parts to test on the track? Those are just some questions I could think of now, but everyone is welcome to come up with questions for us to discuss about and hopefully make the last month of the off-season go by quicker

I actually like their dark blue livery better but this is typical williams livery we're use to.

A possible exhaust setup that McLaren are working on. They were seen using a conventional exhaust outlet blowing over the diffuser during the first tests, but changed to this setup later
