Ferarri actually looks really smart with the colour transition. The green Mission Winnow logo kills it though, would have been a lot neater in black or white.
That does look terrible, first thing I noticed (which I guess means it's actually worked!)Now if only the 'brand' actually had a legitimate reason to draw people to it...

Thankfully, we should hardly be seeing it, with all the tobacco advertising laws around the calendar.
That's what I don't understand, didn't Ferarri have their branding on their cars and race suits a couple of years ago then they all got unceremoniously blanked out? How come they are able to work with them again and does this mean the car will only display the logo in countries where the laws permit tobacco advertising?I think that Ferrari livery is the worst of the bunch. The matte red reminds me of a Royal Mail Vauxhall combo van. The graduation to the rear is really random, and what we’re they thinking with the green (and the ‘Mission Winnow’ Philip Morris Tobacco b
ks in general for that matter).
Nose is a bit Sauber / Alfa Romeo.

I'm not sure about the colour gradient either... I don't expect many Ferrari customers would ask for a bright red Ferrari that gradients to burgundy at the back.. Or looks orange under certain lighting conditions. It's a Ferrari, we expect it to be red, stop messing around with it 
I thought their launch/presentation was very confident however. Compared to last seasons launch, this one was confident, assertive and dare I say a little ominous for their competitors. They seem to think they have a car this year that is improved in just about every area and specifically they put a huge focus on their new PU and PU roadmap for the future. If they're keen to put the new PU centre stage like that I'd guess they're fairly happy with it.
Can't often tell very much during pre-season testing, but last year we could certainly tell that Ferrari were screwed - and in the next few days we should know for sure if they've made a significant recovery.

The colour fade would look better if the car wasn't a matt finish. Never been a fan of matt cars. Just looks like it is leaking fluids.
I guess they must have had some spare green paint knocking around the factory but surely they could have incorporated a white outline next to the green to give it an Italian flag feel.
If a pretty car is a fast car, then they are in for a barren season. Lets hope it drives better than it looks.
Ferrari were on double double secret probation last year. But not this year.
They have 2 of the best drivers on the grid.
Must have took a good look at the other cars all last year so they must have learned something.
I predict some good races.
Doesnt matter what they do anyway. I would have a ferrari rather than a mercedes,mclaren or aston martin road car if wealthy enough.
James bond can run around blowing things up and it will just be your kids excited by astons.
They should make a little noddy mobile aston to capture the Little Lord Fauntleroy crowd.
