I did read somewhere today that the Ferrari was likely on higher suspension to give a 'raked' look as it would look better at the reveal. Most launch cars are testing spec and usually a different car emerges in Australia.
Wouldn't be surprised if the cars revealed at launch are effectively just show cars, especially this year where the differences are more down the line of tweaks to last year's car rather than substantial changes to meet a new set of regulations.

I think it’ll be the best looking car on the grid this season.
it looks awfully long. Maybe taken a leaf out of the MB chassis in prep for the Merc power unit for 2021? But then again, doubt it with the regulation changes.
What is the collective noun for turning vanes?
I think we might need a new one to describe the hysterically large number on this car
A turbulence of turning vanes? A tumult of TV's?

Stoffel Vandoorne gets Mercedes' reserve driver role

Worrying.
Apparently some exhibition in Barcelona has been called off this weekend for the same reason.
We are booked for the Spanish GP in may and the talk is that coronavirus is unlikely to be under control until the autumn.

Yes the MWC (Mobile World Congress) is the mobile world's biggest event. Most big names had already pulled out prior and eventually there was no choice but to cancel it.
Phone show cancellation a 'nightmare' for firms

Williams FW43
^I hope it's a more effective car than last year's.
Indeed, anything with "Beer" as a sponsor must be on the right track
Headlines from the first half day of F1 running in 2020?
Williams quicker than Ferrari!
No stoppages.
Max distance? Max Verstappen
Quickest time?....well it was a Mercedes but only just in front of one of those pink things
We can only say that it is still all muxed ip....

Been watching it in the background.
Seb is poorly so LEC is in the car all day today.
Kubica did the morning session for Alfa.
Hamilton has gone slightly quicker than Bottas did this morning although times are irrelevant at this stage (or are they?)
Racing Point seem to have copied Mercedes' 2019 car
Red Bull have an interesting hole in their nose

.... and Williams may actually have a car this year that can run to a decent lap time.
