Ferrari F2012

[alogoc]

Can someone explain why Ferrari's ACER duct's disrupt airflow around sidepods and Mclaren's exhaust bumps don't?

[bhall]

It's not a question of air flow disruption. It's a question of whether or not the benefit of a particular solution outweighs such a disruption.

For McLaren? Seems worthwhile thus far.

For Ferrari? No so much.

Of course, those are just opinions.

If Ferrari does a new crashtest of sidepods can they change geometry of rear suspension?

[...] have a little faith in Ferrari...

A little faith in Ferrari is all I have at this point.

My fear now is that today's result will lead to a false interpretation that the car is more capable than it really is.

No false security on Alonso's side. He said" Malaysia will be baptism by fire"
Color me worried, but still faithful my team WILL SORT IT OUT.

[bhall]

I really don't think they should sort it out.

But, man, I'm actually starting to become an Alonso fan. Even with the safety car and considerable attrition, the F2012 had no business finishing 5th.

season is lost for championships, it is team's birth through fire. this season will show potential of ferrari for future years. car is bad , they can only hope to repeat mclaren's 2009 season.

Why bother? I'd rather use the rest of the season probably as an extended test session for the next year or years.

and that actually may include improving current car.

It's only the first race for god's sake. You talk around here like it's the end of the world and the championship can be considered over when it just started. Maybe they can improve this car.

Based on what Ferrari did in 2009, they will just ditch this car by Silverstone and focus on next year.

[radosav]

70% of teams made their car design with less money, and most of them with drastically less money, and they made better job. something is very wrong with this car.

I don't think its that dire yet. Barcelona is my cut off date. Still --- by then...lose another year out of Alonso's prime... a travesty.

Edit: when did this forum start blanking out obscenity? Another travesty.
