It looks more like the Shelby Cobra GT more than the Ferrari GTO. The shields are a cross between Ferrari SF and the Cobra Snake.
https://www.planetf1.com/news/no-sebastian-vettel-deal-at-spa/ So no contract with Clone Point. This to me seems like Perez is staying. Yes could change later
Newspapers say that tRacing Point doesn't want to upset the apple cart just yet: They need both drivers to perform at their top so they can stay 3rd in the constructors race, which equals big $ So a Vettel for Perez trade could happen later.
Any top team that offers a lot just to have Vettel onboard next year, on the basis of his 4 titles, is simply wasting its money. What Vettel needs is a performance related contract with a mid-field team to see if he still had something left, just like Raikkonen signed with Genii "Lotus".
it's just like value investing...there's always at least one idiot out there that see a stock drop 50% and go, "Ooooooo, great value!" and fail to realize at the end of the day a turd is still a turd regardless of price.
Vettel and his ego wont take a 'mid-field' contract or team. Clone Point are one bad modification from weekly P8 or worse status. They are not a winning team he says he needs to stay in F1. He says money is not the issue.

Almost comical if it were not tragic. The worst is that he never doubted the reasons for this slaughter.
Sure Le Mans would be cool. On the emotional stress thing, a thought just occurred to me. Perhaps being the youngest driver at the time to do a 4 x run as WDC in a particular kind of car really did "spoil" him in a way? All along I have argued about driving style and my opinion that he was definitely a down force style driver. Super grip with little or no sliding. The bad part about that is, as you age, and have a family or more responsibilities, or even just a pure sense of mortality, you may be more hesitant to slide a car. And so in this predicament he was jammed. But alas then the stupid, god awful engine cheat was hatched. Now the car is a turd and the design is sunk. Any thoughts about the boxy square corner nose? Is Red Bull the only front team that still uses one? It may be that it makes too much drag for the reduced power. MB and RP have the clean slender "disc" noses and sculpted edges. Can anything at all be done to the engine to make more power?
