Ferrari F2012

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.

some say it points downwards

my guess is that the pipe extending downwards is not the exhaust...just bodywork to take advantage of the coanda effect...the bit extending down is probably not a closed pipe...

Yeah, honestly didn't even think about that. Similar to this extension. Think you're right.

I leave you guys alone for a bit, and it appears you've all lost your minds. :wink:

Those dirty, dirty slots on the front wing have been around since Round 2 in Malaysia. They work in conjunction with the tiny vents on the end plates to create vortices that direct the air flow away from the tires. The end plates used to do this job alone, but that configuration sacrificed surface area on the front wing for the sake of that outwash effect.

Yes, it looks like each driver get better lap time during last 10 min.

EDIT:

InsideFerrari Morning session finished with @alo_oficial quickest in 1.22.44 and 38 laps completed. It will be a long break now due to changes on the car.

Now they put some new stuff on the car :D
