Ferrari F2012

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.

they will give blowing the diffuser another go i guess... Canada would reward a blown diffuser as they can run the rear wing at a lower AoA...and it will help with traction out of the slow corners of canada!

Maybe the hole in the RB floor will be allowed, so Ferrari need to move back to this area as there's probably more development to be had in that area? Ferrari blow the beam now don't they?

Pat Fry anticipa quello che sarà il pacchetto Evo per la classica del Québec: “In Canada porteremo alettoni nuovi, sia anteriore che posteriore, e proveremo un’altra versione degli scarichi”

Pat Fry anticipates what will be the Evo package for Montreal: "in Canada we will have new front and rear wings, and we will try another exhaust system"
This is what Pat Fry said on the most recent edition of Scuderia Ferrari Racing News the team posted a week ago--> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ6w5KJe ... e=g-user-u

I think we all expected different FW & RW for Canada seeing how it's a low downforce setup circuit, but what's most interesting about Fry's comments is when he spoke of the exhaust he said "there will be new versions" of the exhaust, as in plural. He said they have a much better understanding of the exhaust now, but different versions coming is rather interesting.

@Cam Ferrari has holes in the floor like Red Bull, nothing new there. One of the floor/diffuser combo tested in pre-season testing had the holes in the floor but wasn't used until Bahrain.

Just to temper this, I would point out Ferrari still run 2 cars at most GP weekends ;)

:lol: Of course. In the video though Fry implies that there will be more than just one new exhaust solution tried on both cars. :))

Fry said that ultimately getting the gases down to the floor is the best way!!!

So they will try that no doubt!

How much of a chance is there for Ferrari to have a DDRS in Canada?
And if so can the DDRS tubes go somehow around the chassis not trough it?

There is no point in making a DDRS when there is SO much better updates to get.

LOl, you sound like you have no idea what you are talking about, but I see your point although later in the year we will get some circuits which the DDRS will be immense at, i'm sure they have a model of it already and some R&D on it like half of the teams on the grid and Mclaren's even might be used this week.

What makes me sound like i dont know what im talking about? Its not like i can sit and mention and write down every part of the car that would be better of with updates then going for a DDRS. Also its not like Mercedes have dominated on circuits with long straigts so far this year.
