Santander is a city on the north coast of Spain, west of Bilbao. Is there a product by the same name that sponsors Ferrari or is it the city itself?

Definitely different approaches to design.... Thanks for the pics Tim! The Ferrari cars are looking MUCH better! I wonder who besides Lotus has gone with the "drop nose" design?

Santander is also one of the worlds largest banks. Founded in Northern Spain in 1857, and has grown to become one of the five largest banks in the world by profit.

Not that I knew that..... (but I was curious too...)

Spot on ...they even use very special lighting techniques to hide stuff....the only one over all the years that does not is McLaren, they just don't even put the bits on....they just use fakes....

I wonder why all the black paint? Diverting attention from some sneaky details?

Interesting! They sure have some fun toys to play with; thought to design to product. I wonder how much it cost to close the Lincoln Tunnel for that other video? As a driver I would have wanted full access to both lanes.... Potholes?

Holy smoke big new for the red team

Posted on February 10, 2013

Ferrari has confirmed that it has hired veteran designer Rory Byrne, architect of the winning Benetton and Ferrari cars of the Michael Schumacher era, to work on its next F1 car, which will be to 2014 turbo rules. La Gazetta Sportiva says that Byrne, 69, was spotted at the F1 launch this year and told a German journalist his plans. Quizzed on this, the team has now confirmed the signing. Byrne retired from F1 and moved to Thailand a few years ago to run a scuba diving centre, but has maintained strong links with Ferrari.

So this doesn't look good......

Formula 1 Photo Gallery | Sky Sports

Ferrari's official Twitter did not mention, though, that the 41-year-old Spaniard had to step out of the new F138 car amid clouds of white smoke.

And photographs of the car, taken after it smoked to a halt between turns 7 and 8, showed extensive burn damage at the rear.

Germany's Auto Motor und Sport reported that the cause of the problem was a transmission fault, which is currently being repaired.

"It will take a while to hit the track again," confirmed Ferrari.
Damm!
