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.

Very nice flow, consistent and accurate this will help with the build of Chassis #2 with side cockpit crush pilons/wings.
If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.

Not for nothing, you can't really look at the Flo-Vis and say that. After all, we don't exactly know where it started. For all we know, that could be an awful result.

I must ask, and I'm sorry for asking in this tread, but why F2012 has unmarked tyres?

I heard something about Pirelli making tyres in another factory, just in case if their factory (in Turkey?) couldn't make tyres during the season for some reason.
Anyhow, the unmarked tyres are just to test if they really are the same.

Does it mean they've finally found a solution to make this exhaust layout work properly?

Could be good news, indeed ^^

No sorry, the track side report I saw was wrong. The exhaust is in the same position as yesterday.

The left side of the wing looks as if there's blood on it :D maybe that's better than flo vis?

Amazing how much effect that caught tyre debris has on the airflow onto the left side of the wing!!

could be partly chemical repulsion there though.
