Many feared that Formula 1’s all-new ruleset would prove too restrictive and result in 20 identikit cars. But as launch season has progressed, it’s become evident that the teams have defied that worry - and instead have come up with rather unique interpretations of the new formula. And Ferrari has arguably spawned the most radical design of the lot.
