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.

It seems a "Red Bull-style" diffuser.

whats going on in crucial's post above, the new side pods dont look like they fit together properly. look above the acer sign. it looks like there is carbon fibre sticking out, or is this just another optical trick for which this car is now becoming notorious?

Ferrari have had signals since mid-way last year.

@crabbia I think it's just dirt/rubber that's melted.

no, to the left and up (towards the front of the car) of the acer sign, on the side of the sidepod. it cant be oil. not all the way out there.

and it looks like unpainted CF.

I believe that depends on which direction they wish to blow. If they keep it like it is today, I would say yes they'll lose the Acer duct. If they don't, I expect them to keep it. Heck they might keep it anyway, lol.
These Acer ducts are their only radiator air outlets, I mean they can not fully abandon these with any exaust position.

i see what you are referring to, and i agree that could be melted rubber or oil, but look to the left of the acer sign on the vertical edge of the sidepod.

I see what you're saying. I'll say it's the light playing tricks. But I can't be sure.

@blackout must pay for them or be part of the media.

Also around the light, there is a gap all around it of few mm that I can't see on redbull for example
