It was posted by "n_sminkle" that the new parts would be ready by FP2. Lets hope it's true.
That makes no sense. Why wouldn't they bolt the parts on for FP1?! And plus, I actually heard from my dog that they don't plan on bolting on the new parts until the 2nd pitstop of the Melbourne race.
It's the normal procedure from Ferrari. First, they do FP1 with the "normal" car, to see where they are. On the second practice, they put the new parts, so they can compare and see if the new parts work or not. Put those new parts on FP1 have no sense, because you don't know if they are working or not, because you have no baseline
That's what i would do. Seems quite reasonable

On the one hand it seems absolutely reasonable... if you want to try out a few new parts in the middle of the season...
but the thing is, according to all the reports, our team will bring a lot of new things, so only 90 minutes to test them all and assess what they're worth, it can be short... further more, if we have reliability issues like we had in BCN... it's quite a tricky situation
I think it would be in our interest to get the more track time possible strating from fp1... i dont know, difficult to assess from outside
radosav : never surrending has been the major strenght from FERRARI in ages... it's in our genes !!
