I think they wanted to mask the fact that that is just old F150 car or this "censored" square is just onboard monitor for drivers to take a look at racing times...
2012 Ferrari - pre-launch overview 31 January 2012
http://www.formula1.com/news/technical/2012/0/930.html
As this artist's impression from renowned technical illustrator Giorgio Piola shows, the 2012 Ferrari is expected to bear very little resemblance to its predecessors and appears to be the first of a new generation from Maranello. In line with recent trends, the rear suspension is now a pull-rod system, but far more surprisingly, so is the front. The last time this layout was used in F1 was in 2001 on the Minardi PS01 and it's not been seen on a Ferrari for 11 years. Together with a lower nose - stepped where it connects to the chassis to comply with new nose-height regulations - it means the car has a lower centre of gravity. The other big area of innovation is the sidepods and in particular the crash structures at the front of them. These are now separate from the sidepods and instead integrated into two wing-like sections. As a result, the length of the floor's flat section has been significantly reduced, enhancing aero efficiency. The narrow sidepods - containing the inevitable long and narrow radiators - also boost airflow to the rear of the car, where the exhaust exits are positioned in the lower part of the mandatory area specified in the new rules, with the exhaust gases blowing across the lower plane of the rear wing. Another point worth mentioning is that at launch the car is expected to be fitted with older-spec wings and not the newly-designed 2012 items.
That was definetly the F60 in that preview. That artist drawing of the F2012 must be worth more value than we originally thought if its on the official Formula website.
F2012 will need winter tyres for shakedown (less likely)

hey guys i will watch the mclaren launch,i hope we see something to that mclaren because if we see the car maybe we have a clue to ferrari car,and what is there reaction in the front wing rule.
Nice picture of Maranello
Looks like they've had quite a few inches of the white stuff there, as they forecasted.
Hopefully the launch & shakedown can take place as normal. Let's see how the weather pans out in the next 24-48 hours. I remember launch days there have been affected by very thick fog before, in recent years
Power, Passion, Heritage, Beauty, Success = Scuderia Ferrari
Magnum, Coke, Vodka = Kimi Raikkonen
If we still had MS he would be out clearing Fiorano from the snow with his bare hands....Alonso and co are on the beach....says it all
Forza Ferrari

Fiorano circuit
Ferrari is likely to be forced to cancel a planned shakedown of its new car at Fiorano later this week because of snow at Maranello.
The Italian team had intended to run its new car for filming purposes straight after its official launch on Friday morning.
However, wintry conditions have left the outfit's Fiorano circuit covered in snow - which is unlikely to melt over the new few days.
A statement on Ferrari's official website, which confirmed the launch was still going ahead as planned, said: "It now looks as though there is little chance of carrying out the planned promotional filming featuring action shots of the car at the Fiorano track.
"Even if the snow was to stop, it's hard to imagine that the escape roads could be cleared of their blanket of snow which is gradually building up."
I have spoken to Luca Colijannnniiiiii and offered our services to clear the track
Forza Ferrari
That's allot of snow...
Over there everyone is freezing and here we are frying.
:(...
Wow, what a bleak scene.
Just put on some winter tires with studs, she'll be right
Oh, come on, go ahead with it, the car would look stunning in the snow!!!
Tell you what, just stick it on the roof of a Ferrari FF. That'll do the job!
The future is RED
