Ferrari was beaten to the punch by Williams in terms of being the first team to unveil its 2016 car, but it is certainly the more visually different of the two to be revealed today. The SF16-H features a livery which harks back to past Ferrari designs, while it also features a short nose compared to last year's car. With a change to the front suspension and an "innovative" power unit, this is a very different car to 2015. But is it a Mercedes beater?
