They're flexures at the front, the item pointed out is the tether or brake pipe exiting the wishbone. Flexures are used at the front as there's less wheel travel and the wishbones are longer. (Although I have heard that one team have returned to sphericals on the front top wishbone for more accurate geometry at the front.)747heavy wrote:sure I could be wrong, just these parts look much like a conventional uniball to me.

One of Alonso's eight engines has very low mileage, but has been unable to be used because it was replaced after qualifying at the Bahrain season opener.
The rules prevented Ferrari from re-deploying this engine for anything other than free practice sessions, after it was replaced in Bahrain as a precaution due to the F60 almost overheating.
But because Abu Dhabi is the season finale, Alonso is allowed to use any engine in his allocation there, and the Bahrain qualifying unit is extremely low on mileage.

Will this lump have the valve upgrade that Ferrari got permission to do sometime after that race weekend?
