Actually the thing i'm looking forward to the most are the 18 Inch Tires tomorrow on the Lotus. Personally i think it's Time for F1 to go for more up to Date Tire/Rim Sizes.

Agreed, the Formula E Rims are bland at best. Something like the BBS FI would be awesome.

If Ferrari have ran the new tires today, any images of them on track, or will we have to wait for Lotus tomorrow?

It's just Lotus tomorrow testing them. Ferrari is testing a different (louder) Exhaust Solution Today.

Edit: The bigger Wheels look amazing on the F1 Car in that Video. Just more agressive than the old Baloon tires.
