F1 Ferrari Launch 2013

[c123]

I do hope next year will be the F139 and they keep this system until 2025. That'll get the Ford lawyers jumping up and down again!

surely next year would be the F146

Better than last year, but still a bit odd looking!

Actually it's OMR that stands for Officine Meccaniche Rezzatesi, (Rezzato being a small town near Brescia).
It's an italian company specializing in casting metal components even for Ferrari (airbox cover, diff case, wishbones...). You may have noticed that they are really active in motorsport and are sponsoring a lot of teams in different disciplines as rallying, FIA GT.....
IIRC I remember their logo on Gronholm's Ford as well as on the Prodrive Veloqx Ferrari 550 that won Le Mans class in '04.

Not sure about the two tone red and black with the white stripe, personally. Made me think of this


It is keeping it within Fiat though

[woof]

Very interesting that the Ferrari presentation is so corporate compared to Mclaren's launch yesterday. It's Mclaren's that seemed to the have the passion and history !

Thanks Enrico!

yes i have noticed their presence but have never found out who they were or what they did. Not helped by the fact I've been searching for OIIIR!

big factory by the looks of it!

Don't like the paint job at all. Looks like a cheap football shirt.

[fuzzyyo]

[Podie]

Be careful what you wish for. The merchandising argument are working on your request as we speak.

Very square and boxy.

Interesting they've gone for a step cover.

Think it's quite a clever idea from Ferrari, black hides a lot of features and the bits that are black are the most secretive around the floor, around the rear end etc.

Nah, you can easily force a pic to overexpose in lightroom/photoshop etc and you'll see all the detail if thats what you are after.

I agree in principle, but if that wasn't the finished example unveiled today it will fool the majority.

I am also accounting for in season changes, other teams do the same...
