Apparently it's a ground up re-design, all new. I guess they really weren't happy with the 2019 cars handling traits.

Ferrari has just started..Very elaborate setting with a big orchestra playing currently.

Red Bull next up, anyone know what time their launch is tomorrow? Or if it's being streamed?

(not counting Renault as 'next' as they aren't actually bringing the car to the launch, or streaming the launch..)

Yep, my nephew just texted to me he's just watched it go past, so too is the Valkyrie.

If I was freelance and had paid to go to this I'd be fuming. Drag all the press out to a car launch to not launch a car just show some st pictures of a test livery...

In fairness they did say in advance there would be no car.. During the event Abiteboul explained the car was ready, but that bringing it to show off is expensive and a waste of money. Some might argue that having the expensive press launch without the car to 'launch' is an even bigger waste of money haha!
