Apparently the FIA scrutinized them on their new RW as well.'Ferrari broke the curfew for the first time this season last night, presume they've been busy bolting new bits on the car' As it was their first 'offence', it doesn't actually count as an offence - the team will play their curfew 'joker'. Press reports from FP1, Skysports and other journalist reports...
They didn't reveal much mate, however the footage on sky...looks to be a double slot monkey seat (two cuts/slits in it).kebab wrote:It sounds like the new rear wing is the cause of Ferrari breaking the curfew.
Did they mention also about the new monkey seat in addition to the new rear wing?
So the latest iterations of the F2012's front and rear wing appear to be the major updates Ferrari have brought to this weekend
That 5 element is brand spanking...the old design had large slots I believe? and wasn't it a 4 element?kebab wrote:Cheers Hail. Also new (or rather old) FW endplate, the one which has 5 holes that has been tested for three GPs and never been used!?
That's some pretty major straw clutching there, but whatever.timbo wrote:The fact that with so few working updates they're still in the hunt is telling that the car is fundamentally not a bad one.
Wonder whether we can get a shot of the hole at the side pods.
Hi welcome to the forum. From what i see that it is not new or changed from india. In india the exhaust channel tips is seems to be extended a bit and also downward sloped. but due to angle of the pic it seems different.outsid3r wrote:Hi all, I've been following this forum for quite a while now, and I thought of making my first contribution.
Is this new? (I know is was mentioned a few posts back)

Hail man the last pic is really a findings, but others are noting new, caz in india alonso ran the new modified diffuser with a modified stater hole which is already discussed here. and in another pic you pointed toward some hole in the rearwing windplate they are already presented in other races and they are probably for some sensor attachment during free practices.Hail22 wrote:Slight changes of the rear diffuser for Abu Dhabi

If you take a closer look the starter hole has a more aggressive curve (Pure guess around 45 Degrees per angle). Looks to be feeding the new scoop.
Now on the small flap connected to the diffusor, at this weekend its seems to have been converted to a double slit instead of the single element seen at all races up to india

Note in the Abu Dhabi photo as well that the double holes spotted in India have been taped up? (perhaps it wasn't working or their hiding something pre practice?)
Would be nice for someone like Scarbs, Bhall, Amou, Crucial X to take a look at this, to me this seems to be a hole/tunnel feeding the diffuser...or even more far fetched the floor.
