Ferrari Launch Stream. English Translations are on.

The Ferrari F150 looks very good. Theres something about that look that I like more than the F10.

I'm sure I read that it'd feature an Italian Flag "heavily" in the design. Apparently that report was wrong, since the livery is pretty much identical.

Apart form the new team logo, which looks very much like a Marlboro logo...!

Is anyone still watching the English stream? WTF ACCENT!?

I know! The first translator was pretty good, but this one is a bit off. Sounds like a French woman translating Italian into English!

I think it's the same woman! You can still hear the Italian accent at times, where she's ending in 'eh' every so often. It's like she was told she wasn't English enough, so this is her new attempt. It's amazing.

She's moved from posh English to WEST COUNTRY! OOH ARR! I'm waiting on the combine harvester being unveiled.

Haha!

She's the best thing about the launch. Somehow the car sucked all the excitement out of it for me!

there it is

That doesn't classify as "heavily" in my book. They had a chance to do something awesome with that flag, but nevermind.

I hoped they'd do the stripe down the middle, like their racing versions of the road cars. But nahhh...

I was almost expecting a large funky flag on the engine cover. But I forgot that was reserved for Marlbo...sorry, TeamLogo™

I like

Some High-Res studio shots of the new Ferrari:

Well they've lost a few sponsors so I guess the Italian flag makes up for it.
