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.

On the right of the engine air intake it looks like new camera design.
Also the wings on the side of are much biger like in tests.

And on the top, behind the engine air intake it looks like the new mentioned moved cooler.

I agree with everything MrG except the winglet, it appears same size to me. Notice the leading edge of the sidepods. See that big dip? That looks different to me. I've went back through 50+ pictures and it looks different but it could be the angle I guess.

Is it me, or has Ferrari gone for the old school "stand-up" radiator placement, what gains would this give them?

It has allowed the team the make the sidepods a little smaller. The team said they moved it for this very reason at the cars launch.

Anyone can spot any difference? The side-pods look the same and the ACER duct is still there.

Someone said around here that they will have the new parts ready for FP2/FP3. Don't know the source though.

winglets are definitely the same.

In most pictures they look really small but in the right angle you can see they are actually quite big.

@Stefan

It was posted by "n_sminkle" that the new parts would be ready by FP2. Lets hope it's true.

Is it the angle of the pic or does the exhaust position look like it is in the original position - in the acer ducts where it was meant to be ?

Radiators are placed vertical like back in the 90's and early 2000 :!:

mmmm - does this then mean their balance issues is sorted out or that they were bluffing with the different exhaust positions :?

To me that exhaust still looks like it's tucked inwards, and not in the acer duct.

@blackout they said they moved one of the coolers to the back to help make the sidepods smaller.

@beelsebob the pipe look in line with the side pod edge(close at least). They'll be in the Acer duct, IMHO.

Yes, but look further back into the photo – they point inward again. I'd say the current exhaust position is a hack job to keep the pipe length the same.
