Probably a better bet than the ad he placed for an experienced strategist in La Gazzetta

You guys are getting pretty wound up a little early? The race is a week away, save your powder.

Race cars are neither beautiful nor ugly. They become beautiful when they win.

Enzo Ferrari

From the 50s:
"Enzo Ferrari was only building a handful of road cars every year, primarily as a grudging means of financing his beloved racing team. Most shared the same basic chassis and engine with the racers, but were clothed in bespoke coachwork by outside firms, which led more than one buyer to complain to Mr. Ferrari that his cars weren’t fully developed.
“I only sell you the engine,” was his haughty reply, “the rest you get for free.”"

In Italian (Ricciardo's dad was born in Sicily) "Ricciardo" is definitely pronounced "Ree-ch-ardo".

If his surname would have been spelt "Riccardo", it would have been pronounced "Ree-kk-ardo" in Italian.

Maybe she pronounced it correctly in Italian, but not necessarily correct for Daniel. It sounds silly, especially given that it's not how he pronounces his own name.

Las Vegas Livery...

When I saw them reveal the wing, I was really hoping they did an all white car for this race... would have been a weird/fun twist.

Back during the 1964 season, Enzo was pissed at the FIA for failure to homologate his 250LM. He refused to attend the last two F1 races of the season (the US and Mexican GP's). The Ferrari's were entered by N.A.R.T. with John Surtees (pictured) and Lorenzo Bandini in white w/blue Ferrari 158's instead of red with John clinching and winning the WDC by a point over Graham Hill in Mexico.

It's not looking good for the others in '24 as the RB 20 is set to get more ground effect Newey surgery to move away more from the ones that were seemingly moving up but in the end ran out of road trying.
Waiting on McLaren if they have any news from Woking on their coming effort with Norris still chasing his first win.

A. Newey is working on a new project , he is designing a new submarine .

Apperently LEW knows what's going on at Red Bull , he said MAX is already the 2024 and 2025 World Champion .
As we know that can be , by LEW's frustrations.

And the new '2026 Mercedes PU performs very strongly in the lab on the test bench.
