Wow is she beautiful?
Pay attention to those "wings" coming out of the sidepods? What are those? New thing to me!
Geoff Willis is real good in designing a car! May it be as competitive as she looks.

LOL! Gna, I wouldn't go as far as compare it with that Walrus nose of BMW! That wing thing will make sure pilots are stuck in the car!
Jk.
Here is another angle of the car:
It ain't that bad, huh?

Haven't they put those panels/wings just to have more advertising space to sell?

Seems they don't lack money since they put pilot name on the side of the frontwing
But who says the names will remain there all season...

Its to ensure the pit crew they are putting the good wing on the right car

Meo hasn't understood why those logos are on the car. They represent companies that pay to have those ads on the car. And they are
not cheap. As an example you can take Martini & Rossi company.
Try looking at it:
It ain't big that Martini logo isn't it? Well, Martini & Rossi pay 2.5-3 million U.S. $ to have their brand on the nose of the 2006 Ferrari. The bigger logo = more money. So you just can't add any other logo just like that.

Yep. next year Flow. Vodafone would have continue to sponsor Ferrari but since Ferrari denied to have Vodafone as main sponsor, Vodafone shifts to McLaren in 2007 as main sponsor and will be main sponsor for 10 years.
