Ferrari F2012

Is there anything new at all?

Yeah some things i think as they said they was bringing updates have to wait further into weekend for people to find them or for ferrari to say

[alogoc]

Isn't the car that is going to scrutineering required to have all new parts bolted on?

That'll be hard if they have 2 or 3 different wings to bolt on, perhaps a couple of floors, or maybe various dampers and brake pads to try out.

Gentlemen.
The photos of the car is the car number 6 of Felipe Massa.
The car will have updates is the number 5 car of Fernando Alonso, because he is competing for the championship. In Abu Dahbi just saw the updates before PF1, and updates will show up today, it is not mandatory to show everything that is on Thursday. What is required is that all the new parts of the car are inspected before the race and graded by the FIA​​, either on Thursday or on Friday. I better not see anything up until now, because half the world that makes the internet course aerodynamics are not speculating anything.
Ps.: The level of the blog greatly improved, for even 3 races ago that had speculation about possible new parts were worthy of the Star Wars movies.

You should read the preseason Ferrari F2012 speculation thread

This is new. Not even FIAT does something like this.




What's going on? Are they glueing the parts with chewing gum?

Looks just like transit damage.

You know the areo flaps in the pic don't know what they are called. they look at different angles , say for example they was 1mm higher angel would it disrupt the airflow are all the areo pieces engineered to be within 100percent or can their be less than 1mm tolerance on the angles that deflect air? Sorry if it doesn't make much sence what i am trying to ask

Yes, it could be transit damage. But even in that case, they could use some product like Loctite Hysol 9340 or similar… not chewing gum, mylar tape, or whatever they're using. It looks unprofessional (and probably works alike)

No its just "transit" protection...

They're usually called "rear brake duct fins", and AFAIK, as far as the area of the fins is within the maximum value, the angle is free.

Well spotted!

Ok. I mean in general like the front wing angles they create that feed air to the next areo device on the car has it got to be exact the angles it flows off , their is no tolerance of 0.1mm for example?

The good news is that maybe the DRS won't make such big difference in qualifying because with all those corners there isn't really a lot of room to use it freely.

I correct myself. Seeing the drivers navigate those corners in FP1 I'm starting to fear that the RB might do them with the DRS open while the rest of the pack won't have enough downforce. Now that would be scary
