Ferrari 150° Italia

Those are indeed the camera mounts.

Ferrari testing the new front wing:

[tnajner]

With respect to Ferrari, that fron wing looks like snow plough

[wesley123]

well what did you expect with an serious lack of front downforce?:D

Anyway, i think it is quite proven that Ferrari has a front df problem, using fluoriscent paint on the front wing and giving it an ridiculous shape. Also the camera position and huge pillars say enough i think.

Why dont they add a bigger cascade on it? plus different end plates, ferrari now is the only one with such end plates, every other team has detached theirs in some way allowing for a bigger cascade.

I don't know if it's only the angle of the photo, but it seems that FW has a quite large AoA too...?

[wesley123]

it isnt the angle it is true, they are running any front df they can get it seems.

[Goran2812]

that's all they came up with?
..

[ringo]

flexi wing attempt.

Notice the difference with the joints on the cascade?

[raymondu999]

I don't see any joints on the cascade

[Formula None]

What do people make of Alonso's DRS activating where it shouldn't have (shown in a replay on the BBC coverage)?

I know some trolls will jump on it as proof that Ferrari cheat, but I think it's far more likely that it was an electronics issue.

All the telemetry is monitored anyway, and the DRS is actually controlled by Race Control, so it's not an issue with them cheating, if they had gained an advantage from it then there's no hiding it & they would have been punished. It's simply a fault in the system.

[Lorenzo_Bandini]

Very fast with soft tyre, but very slow with the harder

[Flanker27]

Very fast with soft tyre, but very slow with the harder

consider that they kept hard tyres for 22 laps, instead of 17 like mclaren... so they stressed them more (more laps and more fuel weight)

imho the pace of ferrari isn't so bad, thy clearly wrong strategy... almost they could risk the 2pists strategy with 1 car (alonso) and not with Massa that was in a good position after the first pit stop

and maybe this year the place in the grid is not crucial as last years... with a better pace u can gain 3 or 4 position

p.s. so far the hard tyre compound has proved to be rubbish..
