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.

Could be a housing for the eventual DDRS system in preparation for Monza?

Can someone explain me, what kind of "work" the 6 slots do, at the side of back wings on the top?

They reduce pressure that would otherwise be released in the form of strong, drag-inducing vorticies from the corners of the wing.

Massa has the same mirror mountings as Alonso did in Valencia.
"...and there, very much in flames, is Jacques Laffite's Ligier. That's obviously a turbo blaze, and of course, Laffite will be able to see that conflagration in his mirrors... he is coolly parking the car somewhere safe." Murray Walker, San Marino 1985

Quotes of 'trying to repair Fernando's front wing' imply they only have 1 copy of the new FW per driver.

If there is only one new FW per driver, it means that they will be fixing Felipe's wing actually :)
