Ferrari F2012

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

What do you think about the pit? When I look onto people in RB pit, they look unhappy + Newey still complayn about lost of the EBD. But when I see pics from Ferrari pit, I can see lot of happy smiling people. For me it's good signal that they are not in much trouble.

For sure, everything at this team seems to be in a positive state of mind at the moment and that may be a reflection of their yet so be shown performance for this season. They realize the ugliness of the car but in hope that it's a necessary evil as they hunt down the RBR's, and to a lesser extent, the McLaren's.

Complaining might be sign of the times, as we've seen Ferrari complain a lot over the past few years where they haven't performed "so well."

Call me crazy, but the front wing we have seen so far from the F2012 seems to have no inlets/holes etc except further back...but look at the release photo.

Image

Is that an inlet i see?

I apologize, I read it as it extended out across the endplates. Sorry, been up forever.
