Uh-oh. The Ferrari FIAT, I mean F 14 T

I hope it's more reliable than a FIAT.

 

F14 T? Let's just call it The Tomcat.

 

Ugh. First the ugly Mclaren now this. Today is not shaping up well

 

Ferrari announces new Formula 1 car name after fan vote - F1 news - AUTOSPORT.com

Since Ford threatened to sue Ferrari over the use of F-150, maybe the US Navy can sue over F-14!

 

Daft name, 166turbo much better.

 

I kinda like it. All business.

 

Exactly!
+1000

I love the McLaren as well as the Force India.

This is going to be an awesome season. Can't wait for Tuesday!

 

I agree. I think the Mclaren looks great. Of course the lack of a livery gives it a very purposeful look..... hopefully it looks just as nice after they add sponsorship.

 

In no way are these new F1 machines that difficult to look at. Im very happy overall and will be watching online the reveal of the new F14 Ferrari! CAN'T WAIT

 

Kimi's call sign will of course be Ice Man. So is Alonso gonna be Maverick, Goose, Wolfman or Hollywood? LOL

 

I know you're excited about the season (me too) and don't want to be a downer, but come on, these new noses are fugly.

 

Ugly on the Williams but stunning on the McLaren.

Hopefully the McLaren is fast and by race 1 everybody will have copied it.


I also like it when there is one element that clearly stands out defining the year.

And given the new turbos this to me is like one of the most anticipated seasons in a long time.

+1…change is good! I could not deal with another season of "Runaway Red Bull". Hit the reset button on the engines and the design of the cars (though the Photoshop paint job in the other post certainly improves the look of the McLaren)

 

This was the first season of F1 where I did not watch every race. This is because of Red Bull.

 

You've not thought this through have you?

The US Navy only used F14's, they didn't own the rights to the name!

Northrop Grumman Corporation on the other hand!..............

 

I like it, but only if Ferrari follows through with some basic common sense and names next year's car the F15T. Changing names randomly every year is amateurish. Every other team, even under Eddie Jordan or Vijay Mallya, can manage to come up with a car naming convention that is consistent and progresses logically year to year.

 

I concur.

 

That was the second-place finisher, apparently. I wonder if the existence of the 166MM may have pushed people away from that consideration?

 

Next years car will be the L4NC14

 

Lol

 

See the Red Dolphin.
