It's the '24 car, but they said it will change a lot by Bahrain.

I would expect nothing less. It would actually be pretty cool if the liveries were a bit more different year to year, these "reveals" to show essentially the same car is a bit stupid. The Stake reveal was awesome because that was a completely different livery all together.

I'd definitely be more interested in the reveal season if there was a bit more creativity, because they are norafak going to show the actual aerodynamic bits of the car until the first race

Same, Stake and VCRAB Red Bull KFC XBOX GamePass Mastercard Chicken strips both looked good, made it interesting. The rest have been thoroughly disappointing.
 
Just saw the new Merc on FB, I think it looks good. They combined the silver and the black this time. It looks silver from the front, and mostly black from the sides.

I thought I liked the Merc Lively.
and I thought it was the second best after Sauber.

but its not. its just more of the same. sure the nose is silver and the teal looks good. but at a glance from the side you wont be able to distinguish the Merc from the Hass or any of the other multitude of other mostly black cars.....
 
Nah, I really like that Merc livery, I live the way the silver fades to black. The red intake will make it quite recognizable I reckon.

On the other hand, that's very minimal paint which is worrying.

Stake looks like a fake team from an unlicensed video game. Stupid name as well.

I am quite partial to black and green so it looks like the MyTeam livery of my F1 manager playthrough, so I am quite chuffed with it XD

initiailly I felt the same.

but if the Merc will be easy to identify then by the same token the other all Carbon liveries will also be able to be identified. and in some angles that is true. but a side profile shot of most of these cars will look the same.

even being able to clearly identify who is where in the top down footage of the starts will not be easy. we will get used to it after 2 races though.

"The #MCL38 is starting to show its secrets, with a winglet over the sidepod."

Yea this and Mercedes' front wing are certainly going to be garnering some attention.
 
Gary Anderson is not impressed with the SF24: https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/gary-anderson-ferrari-sf-24-f1-car-verdict/

"... Overall, there's a few nice things and it's a tidy car - but I don’t think I’m seeing a lot of innovation that will take Ferrari to the top of the pile.

Again, it’s the parts that we don’t see that will really make the difference - but the parts that we do see influence the flow structure that allows those hidden parts to work to the maximum.

I’m a Ferrari fan, but I have to say I expected just that bit more."

Apparently they were happy with the current aerodynamics and suspension but wanted to improve drivability and capitalise on the later advances they made last season so most changes are under the floor.
It is a gamble, but with RB being so far ahead only a gamble is likely to work.

I will post a link if I can find my source again.

"The aim is to have a car that's more driveable and therefore able to run at a consistent race pace, as these are the basic requirements to fight for wins. We drivers have done our very best to give the engineers precise feedback and I'm sure the workforce in Maranello will have listened to our needs. We want to give the fans something to cheer about, as they were so supportive last year, even when things weren't going our way."

"With the SF-24 we wanted to create a completely new platform," said Enrico Cardile, Technical Director Chassis, "and in fact, every area of the car has been redesigned, even if our starting point was the development direction we adopted last year and which saw us take a leap forward in terms of competitiveness in the final part of the season.

"We have taken on board what the drivers told us and turned those ideas into engineering reality, with the aim of giving them a car that's easier to drive and therefore easier to get the most out of and push it to its limits. We did not set ourselves any design constraints other than that of delivering a strong and honest racing car, which can reproduce on the race track what we have seen in the wind tunnel."
