Looks like another evolution of the Silver Champion / Williams F1 set, so
I’d say it will have engine, steering, suspension and an open-up engine
cover ... :) I’ll bet the chassis is almost identical.
It looks like the body shape and detail has evolved successively away from
the Silver Champ - there’s evidently a fair bit more changed over that model
than with the Williams, which basically only changed colour and had more
flat surfaces for stickers.
Wonder whether it will be a V10 or a V8 though ... if it’s supposedly a
representation of the 2006 race car, then a V8 would now be accurate ... I’m
sure I’ll end up getting it either way ...
(As an aside, I wonder if Lego will make a minifig of Ferrari’s new race
driver, Felipe Massa, for completeness ... can’t see a racers related NG to
add a FUT to though ...)

Thanks to Steve, here is a possible answer. Check this picture on

Aha ... thanks guys! Definitely a V10 ... yet more pistons to gather dust then
... :o
Looks like there’s quite a lot of change in the chassis too then - thinking
about it, they’ve cut down on the old style technic beams and gone as much as
possible for studless ... maybe cut them out entirely, although that’s hard to
tell. Lots of studless beams in the sides of the undertray (the flat black
sections in front of the rear tyres).
It’s a more curvy, sculpted looking body than the previous two F1s - in line
with design trends for the real thing. I think it looks more convincing.
Chris.
