I'm grateful for the very intelligent people on this forum. I'm all about learning about F! and thank you!

"We do expect a similar advantage from working the exhaust last year, nothing more."

This I don't believe... 3 different exhaust solutions for a similar advantage as last year, only if one doesn't lose any of engine's power and the other produces just 373 K temperature...

So there is two separate openings below the nose. The lower(smaller) opening is more in line with last seasons car & is more in line with regards to it being for cooling functionality. Which makes me wonder if there's more to the larger opening. Interesting to have two different slots under the nose.

In the second photo, ignore the hole. Look at the amount of narrowing caused by the pylons!

That was noteworthy, but I'm talking about the interior of the nose cone and the obvious electrical connection running to something inside. Wonder if Ferrari truly went after this idea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJybR-uW ... e=youtu.be

That has to be the most complicated engineering i've seen on the nose of a car. It seems to be too much trouble for a team to realistically be using it (never know though), but I LOVE this system. It's one of the most brilliant things i've seen.

Yes I am blind. Please show me the second opening, I cannot find it.

edit: is it the circular hole under the wishbone

He's right. There are two holes. If you look at the picture where you can see the mechanic holding the nose with the wire hanging out of the nose there is a very small oval hole under the opening for the bigger intake.

Just looking at Forza's picture...Does anyone know what the white chalk 301FE115 markings indicate?

I found it now. Its a razor thin strip behind the shark mouth. At least I hope that's it.

Perhaps they're evaluating tyre/suspension setup changes. This way they can look at the tyre and then compare to their notes to see what setup 301FE115 was on.

Yes this is right, I did this picture about 20 pages back

Whats your thoughts on what the shark mouth is for Crucial....seems to me way too big just for driver cooling....Imo I don't think its for Kers cooling as they have a cooling inlet just behind the airbox inlet same as last year....so I think they are up to something tricky.....good to see some innovation from them..... =D>
On a side note the pic you posted of the diffuser is there some sort of flat plate running horizontal and parallel to the tarmac or is it just my eyes......sort of reminds me of the old style diffusers that teams were allowed to run......

The edge of the rear wing is bended towards outside, so I guess it works as the other two flaps added this year on the rear wing.

you have a couple of HR picture's which point's this whole. On them it is more clear to see the segment... you have to go one page back... number 51.

Sure I have now, but when I was doing the picture, there was discussion if it is a hole or not. I just want to point out, that I noticed the two holes way earlier but nobody matter that time. Even now
