Next years cars will look very different
John S:
According to Aldo Costa of Ferrari next years cars will look quite different, he was speaking to Autosport about falling behind with KERS but made these comments on the look of the 2009 car.
Costa also said next year's car will be strikingly different due to the radical new regulations that will come into play.
"The front wing will be striking because it will be as wide as the car's track (the distance between the wheels on the same axle). A lot of them will come off because, since they cover the wheels, it will be easy to lose them in crashes.
"On top of that, the rear wing will be taller and narrower, the bodywork smoother and more sealed off because we won't have the current liberty of opening air vents anymore, and this has forced us to heavily re-design the cooling system."

I've seen a few photos of a prototype. The tall, narrow wing will take some getting used to. I doubt the sponsors will like the lose of that much prime advertising space.
