    never realized how inelegant the front wings are. Intricate airfoils connected by a simple extrusion that looks like the designer just couldn't be bothered. Makes me feel better about some of my CAD work :D

    I'm not positive of the rules re: front wings, but that looks like a "legality" section. Basically, it has to be that size and shape, then bob's your uncle when it comes to the design after that...

    Take a look at the other manufacturers. Their computers can't possibly have all come up with the same answer for that section.

    The front wings are so big and so ugly. I wish they had to use single-plane wings with a limited surface area less than half that of the current wings.

    Since they allow these very efficient diffusers at the back, the cars need large wings at the front to balance the downforce.

    Yawn... I had to look three times to see if it was the 2020 or 2019 car.
    They have kept 98% of the livery the same.
    The car might have a different design philosophy but make the livery look just a little bit different.
    I'm already bored of the car and haven't even seen it race yet.

    I was hoping they would go back to the shiny red. I am not a fan of the mat red. Rear wing looks so low, other than that looks he same. Hopefully lots of hidden aero underneath and through the car to get Ferrari back on top for 2020. Forza Ferrari!

    If they limited the size if the front wings, they would have to reduce the power of the diffuser in order to balance the car or find some other solution.

    They've fitted Airbus' anti-stall technology to Vettel's car. It should be a banner year for him.

    I came. I saw. I was bored and left. Time to strip the cars of all wings...all aero devices must be continuous to the body without any adjustable parts.
