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.

The ACER sticker is in a different position, not sure if the exhaust is any different though.

also there are more vents on the top of the wing (6 on the new wing 4 on the previous) and they are all horizontal.

I'd like to see a comparison of how the wing attaches to the body/diffuser now as before i thought majority of the load was transmitted to the beam wing.

What would the detached beam wings do? or what benefit would it be?

So with the beam wing now detached from the crash structure, all the load must be going through the endplates to the floor. We need a photo showing that attach point.

thats what she said.. sorry couldnt resist.

i like it too. seems they have already got new things on the car to exploit or at least compliment the new exhaust position.the detached beam wing was necessary as the exhaust plume is flowing inward now.

new front wing and nose...and the final exhaust they will be going with...the one that they think worked best from the two configurations tested here...if it is going to be the one tested on Tuesday we can expect to see a more race ready version of it...

Also, can you please stop quoting the images if not to show a direct comparison, it clutters the thread.
