Ferrari F138

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

Nope. The car is just coming in from an aero run when the pic was taken.


@flyboy thanks mate. I'm mobile & couldn't point it out with visual aids.

Sure about that? All flow lines go down rather than up as you see at on the RB pic and as one normally would expect at the end of a diffuser...

if it was just applied it would be dripping under the floor, there have been made some very clear flow lines with the paint. It has been spread very clearly under the floor

From FP2 tv coverage I could see Massa was using the older diffuser, but I never saw a clear shot of the rear of Alonso's car. Does anyone know which diffuser he used in FP2?

I'm absolutely positive. Look at the flow lines on the monkey seat, or even in diffuser area.

Anyhow you can see here the pit crew have out the towels to put on the exhaust because the car is going into garage

They have been running such a slot since early 2011 already. Most other teams use it too

Ok but those flow patterns look strange (to me at least :lol: ), anyway as long as it works for them...

Lets see if they'll use it in the race.

Interesting that it's rather hot this weekend, yet Ferrari close off the exit for engine cooling.

Yes it seems to be the same as China. For clarification, that wasn't was I was referring to though. :)
