This is the ugliest Ferrari F1 car ever? and other Ferrari news too

A post not for the beautiful or is it? The Ferrari F2012 car came out on Friday everyone described it as the ugliest Ferrari Formula 1 car for a very long time or is it? In today post I will discus this and other Ferrari news from the past month.

But first this car. Is it the Ferrari F2012 the ugliest Ferrari F1 car ever?

It isn't the ugliest F1 car there is a few are much uglier then this. But, this seasons car reminds me of a Lego Ferrari F1 car, it really the front end looks more like a ironing board in my opinion. The main problem is front end due to new technical rules about lowing of the front nose so we don't have another Mark Webber incident at Valencia 2010 were the car went airborne.



But, two other Ferrari have the reward of an ugly Ferrari F1 car in the past. As the first example the 1979 312T4 was described by Enzo Ferrari him self "the ugliest car he'd ever built". However, it won both championships that year.



While in 1996, the F310 was the only car in the 1996 field to have a low nose section, with the other teams having all switched to the more aerodynamically efficient high nose. The high nose was eventually adopted permanently from the Canadian Grand Prix onwards. That the last time a Ferrari F1 car was that ugly to look at, until now.





So the verdict the 1979 Ferrari 312T4, I don't really thinks its that ugly in my opinion, but it won the drivers and constructors championship that year. While 1996 Ferrari F310 is ugly, however it won races under Michael Schumacher. So F2012 it is in my opinion the ugliest Ferrari F1 car ever. But, if it win races it doesn't really matter on the looks of the car if its winning. So the verdict, the Ferrari F2012 is the ugliest Ferrari F1 car ever!



In other Ferrari news, last month Ferrari announced that former Bridgestone tyre engineer Hirohide Hamashima, will be moving to Ferrari this season and took role in its technical department to improve the interaction of the Ferrari car and its tyres. This was Ferrari worse problem last season with 150 Italia car to understand the Pirelli tyres and only winning one race last season. This is good news to get Hirohide Hamashima into the team for this to make the Pirelli tyres to work in their advantage, this must be their solution.

Speaking of Pirelli tyres, Pirelli last week announced their 2012 F1 tyres for this season. A 3D Animation of the new Pirelli tyres is below. Enjoy.
