Ferrari F2012

A lot of five plane wings, i wonder if Massa will have access to the six plane one this weekend?

So, Ferrari brought secret new front wing, although last iteration of front wing worked perfectly. At least they said it worked.

Maybe worked maybe not. But truly reason could be that new front wing (ABD iteration) doesn't suit to rear aerodynamics...

Or otherwise (probably=> i still don't have any proof of change, until FP1, FP2...)they don't have a idea how make rear performance more efficient so they maybe made a compromise etc. Anyways there are many reasons why they hiding "new" front wing!

Hmmm... I'm not too optimistic about the new front wing. That blanket is going to create some serious drag, not to mention the disruption of the airflow to the rear of the car

Well at the very least it should have a lot of flexibility.....

on those pictures they went back to 5 element FW and older turning vanes under the nose than those used in Abu Dhabi!?

30.2669° N, 97.7428° W is not the track according to Google Maps.

Just to remind and refresh memory...

In addition to a new front wing, a new rear wing and a more efficient DRS, Ferrari brought different chassis turning vanes to Abu Dhabi, similar in style to those found on the Red Bull. Felipe Massa used the old configuration (see inset) during the weekend, but he did run the same diffuser team mate Fernando Alonso used in India.

Is there anything new at all?
