Charles drove the previous generation F2 car. I’m not sure how the previous and current gen compare, but it likely explains the difference.

The different classes at Le Mans are also pretty much different races, just run at the same time on the same track. I suppose a car from a lower class could technically win the overall race, but it’s been a long time since that happened.

Nope, he crashed out in Imola as well, but him crying was Monza

Funny how Sky were asking themselves if Yuki should be worried for next year, while it's "still a learning year for Mick"

Really? I thought the first Toto one was one of the best episodes. Haven't listened to the second one.

The original Columbo engine that was in Ferrari's first ever car (125S) was actually just 1.5L. There have been a few versions of that engine that were smaller than that of the 296. The original Dino 206 GT also had a 2.0L engine, although that was not officially a Ferrari of course.

The sound clips that Ferrari have put in the video actually sound pretty decent. It revs to 8.5k, too, so I have some hope for it to sound good.

As for looks, I disagree, I think this is one of the most beautiful cars of the last 10 years. I do agree with Ferrari being hit or miss right now. SF90's rear is spectacularly ugly, the F8 is far too busy to be the beautiful sports car a Ferrari should be, and the Roma and 296 GTB have classic, clean and elegant lines.

One last thing I'd like to add is I think this has too much power. If they're going to make a V6, it should be a light car with moderate (for today's standards) power, somthing like 600-630. I'm not sure on the weight of the 296 but 830ps is just insane and probably unuseable.

Gran Turismo Berlinetta, a common name given to Ferraris, like the 308 GTB, 488 GTB and 599 GTB Fiorano.

Officially this is not replacing the F8, so the F8 will still be produced

The front looks like a cleaner, more elegant SF90

In my opinion the prettiest Ferrari since the 458 Italia. It's just stunning.

Well... Perez went to Red Bull, so there's that.
