Ferrari introduced their new car for the upcoming season. It has been designated as the F10 (F for Ferrari and 10 for the year). They have a new sponsor so the front and rear wings are all white with the sponsor's name in a contrasting colour. Ferrari had a terrible season last year so they are hoping to turn it around this year. Testing of the new car is to begin shortly.

I find it interesting that every team in F1 must design and build their own cars from the ground up but in NASCAR modifications to the spec car are all but impossible to make. They are two very different approaches; F1 is innovation, innovation, innovation while NASCAR will stick with the same old formula until the fans, the drivers, or the sponsors, scream like mad about something.
