Ferrari F2012

[xpensive]

Right, I took a bit of a beating over easter, but here we go again

[munudeges]

Well, I can't see anything other than one of three things happening by Barcelona:

1. They change to a normal looking push-rod.

2. They lower the front of the car and get themselves a normal looking pull-rod.

3. They don't change either and fall like a lead balloon.

[Lycoming]

so, you're saying that the suspension is the problem?

[FakeAlonso]

Updates.... No new side-pods no new exhaust.

[Crucial_Xtreme]

Seems no new exhaust, but it looks like Red Bull sytle cooling outlet(engine cover)



And I can't make out what this is???

[amouzouris]

what i think i can see is a canon like bulge for the hot air to exit in the centre..am i right?

Yes indeed. But what has me most curious is the picture with the yellow circle.

I see that as one of 2 things. Either its a modified winglet or just a place holder for the rearview mirror's so they dont get damaged intransit. Could be wrong though.

Could be place holder for mirrors I guess. I notice the regular vortex generator is not present in this picture. Maybe they are mixing the wing(Vtx Generator) & the mirror.

[amouzouris]

maybe they will extend and meet the side vanes and form a sauber-like winglet on top of the leading edge of the sidepods

[Mr.G]

Cooling outlet is good visible, also shark fin looks smaler. The under cut under acer duct look biger for me (not sure). The yellow marked thing - no clue, maybe the mirror placeeholder as was mentioned.

[alogoc]

Are front wing ussualy coverd like that?

shark fin was only there to meet the minimum bodywork area rules for that part..with the new bulge occupying more area the shark fin is not needed as much

[Crucial_Xtreme]

No this is the first time in a long time Ferrari cover the FW before the start of a GP weekend.

[amouzouris]

i know that they said that they wouldn't be looking into FWFD in their recent Q&A...but is that possible?
