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.

Yes, but Stefany said they will try different exhaust in the NEXT race!
So i'am thinking Jerez solution in Bahrein,then testing of Sauber exhaust vs Jerez spec in Mugello!

Best car problem analysis I've ever had the honour to read. Bravo, my son. We kinda twigged that one already.

Post of the year, right there.

Thanks for the clarification, I wasn't sure how they could improve their pace until I read this.

Isn't It "Risky" for Ferrari to introduce the Sauber Exhaust next week?
I Mean whithout testing or anything (Friday isn't enough),will they gamble on it or wait for the Mugello Testings so that they will use it in Montmélo ?

i think that a working version of the jerez exhausts will be tested next race...not the sauber-like ones..

EDIT: that's what Domenicaly said

No is not risky at all. They should have done this long time ago.

Ah Okay.
Btw I remember Luca Saying " We have to wait 4 GP to improve "(or something like that) Anyway in Mugello I bet they will be testing Major Updates.

They need more downforce with less drag and a proper front suspension..

There's nothing wrong with the front suspension. (I think that's soon to become my signature here.)

And I don't even think the car's inherently "draggy." The speed-trap figures are right on par with RB8. It's traction that hinders the car's top speed.
