I've tried to enhance flo-vis

It doesn't need enhancing, you're just trying to find a reason to stamp your blog all over the picture.

I see the front wing very "Basic" in comparation with the other cars.......¿near updates in this area?

Looks good, even the flow vis looks good to me, no turbulences. Flow going like I was expecting. And the sound, the sound is brutal!!!

EDIT: Listen to 0:05 it sounds like last year blowing...

Kimi : V6 power not so different from V8 powered cars

That's the car going over the rumble strips.

That sound is where the RH wheels touched the rumble strips.

Edit: posted at the same time. Some quick users here!

Ashamed Thanks guys.

The cars rear looks absolutely planted from that video. All in all, I think Ferrari had a great start to 2014! I think all the signs point to the aero concept working ok, no major nasty surprises anywhere mechanically, very solid base to develop.

Ferrari already said, that they will run in Jerez with a standard wing.

I was looking at the rear of the car in this FlowVis pic and had a couple of thoughts:

There's a very deep recess on the top of the diffuser, directly below the crash structure. Are they using this to help remove heat from the engine compartment? It would also do a good job at catching oil from a blown turbo, but that can't be its real purpose. In addition, they have tons of room back here below the bodywork - as if they were playing it safe for the first test. I don't think that the car in Melbourne will resemble this one too much. Come to think of it, I have the feeling that Ferrari, Mercedes and Red Bull are using a negative pressure system to evacuate the heat from their cars. Basically using lower pressure at the exits to pull the air out of the body work. This would explain the smaller openings up front and the rear openings in the lower area around the floor. McLaren & TR seem to force feed their radiators (= positive pressure), which works great up front where the radiators are, but can lead to hot spots where the air flow under the engine cover isn't all too good. Or I need a beer....

IR cameras, Merc style.

What are they used for?

Jerez Test T01 - Day 1

What kind of sensors are these and what they measure? (strain gauge?)

I apologize for the maybe trivial questions for you

[F1NAC]

@squall these are infrared thermal cameras, they are using it for monitoring the tyre

[CBeck113]

@squall those stickers on teh rear suspension and crash structure are thermal sensors, which register the maximum temperature.

Flow separation.

[Xwang]

Are they creating any kind of useful (or at the least the hope so) vortices in the point where the flux which comes from the upper side of the nose rejoins with the one which passes below it (exactly where the flux appears separated)?
