'Barcelona' brake disk. Interesting to keep track which disks they use at which circuit.

Alonso reports of aero problems in Silverstone. Looks like they're going to check that tomorrow.

So according to this Swiss source -talking about the downfall and possible bankruptcy of Sauber- Ferrari use the wind tunnel in Hinwill instead of receiving cash for their engines from Sauber.

Are there any sources that confirm Ferrari using the Hinwill wind tunnel?

No one hearing anything of Ferrari using the Sauber facilities?

I wonder why they ditched all the upgrades they raced, and got a second place with in Canada?

Because not all upgrades are upward – sideways instead. Many things that get pushed as "upgrades" around here are often simply different parts for different types of track.

as far as i know, they were using the old toyota wind tunnel to develop this years car

where is the new wing that was supposed to be tested in silverstone with r winglets

[KennyBama]

Has there been a revision to the front wing?

[froggy]

Reverted back to slotless RW.

Ferrari must need a pretty big dumpster to throw out all the updated parts that are actually downgrades!

Actually , when they collect huge amount of bad parts they make car out of it. That is how they made F2012.

Canada is a low downforce track. So they wouldn't work at silverstone/Germany. You likely see those PARTS at Monza.

The only thing I can see in those pictures that has changed (aside from the brakes) is the vertical slot is missing from the vertical beams (or whatever you call it) that holds the rear wing.

They might just throw that on tomorrow ...In fact I get the feeling they assemble everything with a known config on Thursday. Then throw on the new stuff on Friday.


Also the number of slots in the rear wing vertical beam are fewer. It looks like the rear wing beam sitting in the back of the garage on Thursday of last week.

So from all the photos i've seen....there's absolutely nothing new this race.

'sigh'

How do you know they are downgrades?
