2 things I noticed:

1.  That's a really high nose.  Will the driver be able to see the track?

2.  There appears to be a hole right through the car just behind and below the air intake above the driver.  What could that be for?

[Scott]

Interesting marriage of the Ferrari and Marlboro logo...I wonder if they'll get away with that one?

The holes are for a rod that is put through and then straps attached when the car has to be lifted from the track.

Obviously we are now witnessing the WDC and WCC championship car for 2011

But God isn't that nose high off the ground and ugly

Oh and Jeri if Fernando is worried about not being able to see over the high nose and needs a little lift he can always sit on my lap 

[David]

Got to watch the launch live after all. 

I think it looks the part, but then I would. The big difference is at the rear with the diffuser or what's left of it. The tyres look really different, might be the yellow print.

It could be pink with white spots as long as it's quick.

You crack me up!

Looks okay, I don't think many F1 cars are nice to look at head on but from the side views it is okay.  Still a Ferrari though

Are you looking like Right Bellow it? Because i also see some sort of square box there, were the two pumas come together. My bet is its just a camera position, but who knows

The first thing i saw was how tiny the diffuser was! It's different to look at, and on that note i know the reason for the high noses (such as sauber in 2010) was to get as much air under the car and through the diffuser. But with the double being banded i dont see the point...

[Ian]

Too much white.

[John S]

I wonder if all the shark fins will be gone this year because of the movable rear wings. Mind you Ferrari never had a fin on the car at the start of the season last year.

[David]

I hope the shark fins are gone for good. I personally think the spoil the look, I prefer the sloped rear like the F150 sports.

I am glad i can make you laugh CD 
BUT on a serious note....what has my Fernando done to his face?? I could cope with a little designer stubble but this is going too far

I heard he has spent the winter hangin' with the musketeers.

He thought maybe the Papparazi wouldn't recognise him with the fur.
