Very interesting. Do these "slots" sound to anyone else like the evolution of this exhaust placement that scarbs was suggesting?

The Acer Ducts in the video are the same that have been on the car since launch. Ferrari aren't going to put anything new on the car so the press can do what you are seeing, get video of the new parts.Nando wrote:The exhaust we can see in the video was not the original one, it definitely looks like it´s the version that blows the rear wing.
Or possibly blowing the brake ducts/beam wing. Hard to exactly pinpoint the angle of attack from these images.
My bad, i thought people were talking about the exhaust, not the exhaust housing.Crucial_Xtreme wrote: The Acer Ducts in the video are the same that have been on the car since launch.

After each GP the cars are broken down & examined then put back together. Anyhow scrutineering is today and Ferrari aren't going to slap on the new parts ahead of that process.
No worries mate. Heck I don't even see the exhaust in there.Nando wrote:

dont believe in it!!!Alonso will run with new one for sure!!!Nando wrote:Different exhaust/exhaust housings for Massa and Alonso?
Looks like Alonso will run the Acer and Massa the newest version :S
I doubt the new parts are even in Montmelo. I would think they will arrive later today. The pictures you see are generic in what they mean as far as different configurations. The cars must go through scrutineering today so no new parts will be on the cars. At least not any we can see. We won't see any new parts until tomorrow in FP1.luicchi wrote:what aboout the new nose ....anyone ...pictures ????
