Red flag thanks to Heikki slamming into the wall. Team should get much more time to get those layouts switched.

Clock stays running I believe.

Vettel set his fastest lap with the same Alonso's S3 --> 30.4 I'd say that DF is more important than top speed.

Vettel was on super softs though, no?

Very first time this season I've seen Gary Anderon say the Ferrari actually looks good. The back-to-back comparison would seem, superficially at least, to point very firmly in the direction of the new exhaust as the way to go.

Fernando using the newer turning vanes

Ferrari slotted floor





Edit:

Even with the Spain/Monaco spec exhaust Ferrari have still used the curved vertical strakes on the floor

genius... 1 mm cut out on the floor edge and you're legal...

Turning vanes introduced back in China(best pic yet)

Even before Williams went to that style of brake duct I wondered why teams didn't use the wheel's rotation to cool the brakes. It makes so much more sense.

Yep, I was suggesting a similar cut out for Rbr before the first practice started
Was surprised to see they didn't use this solution

Other teams seem to use low downforce rear wings Ferraris are quite big!

Maybe low downforce ones not used yet!

Please expand. I thought the teams have used wheel rotation (fan duct?) for decades. Are you talking about something else?

Different teams have different philosophies. McLaren for instance always use a bigger wing in Canada than others and they go strong around here. Perhaps we'll see a different RW but I doubt it.

No, I should have said that it makes more sense to solely use the wheel's rotation to cool the brakes, instead of incurring the drag penalty of collecting air flow to cool them.

I'm not sure, but the RBR solution wouldn't be legal just with that cut from the edge, because it was also far inside of the outside 5 cms of the floor where those 'slots' are allowed... That's what I understood.
