Not to be pushy, but now we just need a side photo of Massa's car to show the new exhaust.

Flow vis on the F138

Sutton captures the airflow patterns around sidepod and floor:

Neither driver using the flow conditioner.

I guess it's been abandoned this weekend.

They just might be doing a comparison run in the dry, the could be putting it on right now

Definitely abandoned it.

I can see a lot of idraulics on the side of the ferrari.... should it be a FRIC implementation? I can also see they have the same DRS actuator they got in Barhain...
Any more pics of massa's upgraded car from more angles?

After FP2 it will be very interesting to see if they will keep the upgrades seen on Massa's car or not. He was clearly slower in FP1 and FP2 than Alonso.
I thought they will put the upgrades on to Alonso's car for FP2, so they can exclude the driver influence.

Highly unlikely as they weren't used at all in FP2.

Corellation problems again?

It seems there are two aero concepts being tried at the moment, the conditioners are only a small part of the equation but hint what Massa's package is trying to exploit vs the Alonso's. Look at the bumps under the skin and the way the sidepods slope. There is a slight but noticeable difference.
