That's totally unfair. It's not easy to win in F1 and Ferrari has had long winningless championship streaks in the past! For example between 1984 and 1998 (15 years) and 1965-1974 (10 years, in the supposed "golden era", the real golden era was between 1999-2004). Selling is important to Ferrari but so is winning! Anyone who thinks differently is just not familiar with the history of motorsport. Look at McLaren for example; their last WCC was in 1998 and Williams's was in 1997. Not to mention that Ferrari won the WEC Championships this year.

And yet current Ferraris are the best ever!

 

Powerful NA V12, light carbon monocoque, no hybrid at all, beautiful design.
Three stars Michelin menu i guess

 

Time is ticking. Let's see if people will follow the rules and not post any photos before the public launch.

 

So you claim that long periods of failure are part of the brand's history? Correct. But I wish that this will never become their DNA! The rules in F1 are the same for every company. So everything else is an excuse. There is probably a lack of people in the racing team who can clearly address things, change them and only then enable success again. And Managing Directors without racing DNA (like the last and new CEO) won´t really help in this case, sorry! Niki Lauda would have been such a guy...
“You can't say that ... it's Ferrari“ doesn't helps there.
But maybe the new Icona car will make me feel a bit better tonight...

 

You don't seem to understand sports in general. No team wins forever in top competitions.

 

Maybe we agree that we disagree?

 

The same Lauda who did nothing as Ferrari “consultant” in 1993 and got fired from his team principle role at Jaguar F1?

 

This.

Or the fable that makes us believe that he and Hamilton are the main ones responsible for the success of Mercedes since 2014..

 

This thread is incredibly quiet now that the car has been unveiled!

 

I agree.... maybe there is a new thread now ?

 

Jacques

Just look into the other thread in the same section. Tons of information and opinions there.

neither of these are good looking imo.

 

both look awful

 

Only the original F40 can be the F40.
They can’t make a new car and call it the F40.

I thought calling the later model of FF the GT4 Lusso an insult to the Lusso name. Even though I like the FF.

It’s an unnecessary crutch and canabalistic.

Lean on the Ferrari name and protect the heritage.

 

I agree with you on the F40, they really shouldn't make a literal recreation. I think Icona is smart, at least so far, because they are finding inspiration from eras of cars, not one specific car. Only the F40 is the F40. I disagree on the Lusso, maybe the whole name is a bit long "GTC4Lusso" But, I think "Lusso" does describe the car.
