    ScarbsF1: "IMO ferrari's problem is Aero. Pitch sensitivity, leading to the poor traction and braking instability."
    Mark Webber: "If you push to try and pass you kill the tyres but if you wait, then you find you're on the same strategy and finish behind them anyway".

    Most probably only cockpit cooling. Sepang is demanding circuit. Unless there is a slot under the nose already for this purpose, but i havent seen it on any photograph yet.

    Yes i know that it doesn`t relate to development of F2012 but it is still part of strategy when you gain few tenths or even half a second gain is important.

    Q. (Carlos Miguel Gomez – La Gaceta) And the second question is for the poleman of 2003 (Alonso): in which race do you expect Ferrari's big step forward?

    FA: I don't think it will be one race in which we change the car. This is up to you that you write that there will be a new car coming. I think at every race we will try to make improvements as we did over the last few years and it won't be just for us; I think everyone will make updates at every race. We just need to make ours work a little bit more. Obviously we have a little advantage from that because our car needs more speed and maybe it's easier for us to find than for some others whose cars are maybe more developed than ours. New parts will slowly come at every race and hopefully they work, but there's not one magic race or one magic moment when we think things can change. I think we will work day and night and as I said before; the team is very focused on that and I see great reaction from everybody, so I expect a strong Ferrari soon.

    Nice insight from Fernando. As rational and informative as I guess is possible at the moment.

    Yep. The revival will begin in China, and end in Spain, with the new exhaust.

    According to La Gazzetta dello Sport today, in Spain there will be a new F2012 and return to the front suspension Push-Rod:

    If it's true then it would have awesome if nobody knew about it until it was raced. So Ferrari knew this car was no winner from Barcelona testing!

    i dont understand how they can suddenly turn it on and get it right? What do they have all of a sudden that they can design a winner when they could not do it in spite of working on the first version longer than anyone else.
    we're number one

    Probably its an extension to the earlier work which isn't enough to get them up front. It's a combination of the previous work+new recent updates if that's how you like to call it.

    Ferrari twitter:

    It is interesting to see how rumours and speculations can be spread all around starting from nothing...It can begin in a country then move to another one and then back in the first one, with each one quoting the other as the source. It is a neverending story...
    For instance the rumour that we will have a new car in Bahrain or Barcelona, just to mention one... It is not true!
    We said many times that we support Felipe, in every possible occasion.

    I don't remember Joseluisf1 saying that, or at least was not the first. He just said "in a newspaper they say that", but never was his personal opinion.
