    From that article, it sounds like something that will collect the exhaust gas after it exist the exhaust outlet, and then channel this gas to the diffuser.

    The rules only say where the gas should exit, but it doesn't say you can't do anything with the gas after it exist the exhaust. So some people fear that they will make a "collector tank" to collect back that gas and channel it to the diffuser.

    yes but what will accelerate that gas out off the tank it needs speed to influence the aerodynamic i think

    Ferrari have made gains in their bid to master the flexible front wing designs pioneered by Red Bull. (Autosport magazine)

    Sounds good, wil we see a updated wing for the next race? Or is the time to produce a wing like that to short.

    i think probably too short, but then, maybe Ferrari could have made a leap ages aho, but Autosport only finding out now.

    It's possible to make a new front wing in two weeks.

    I recall MacLyin's ill-fated "Octopus" exhaust featured banned material which they explained away by leaving a small gap between the exhaust exit and the new section featuring the banned materiel. They explained that the add-on section was not part of the exhaust since it wasn't physically connected to it.

    I'm guessing this same principal could be used to "harvest" exhaust gas exiting from a legally sited exit and then ducted back to the diffuser. Lots of plumbing, but technically possible. The losses from the small gap would be marginal, especially once the system had warmed up enough to expand and close it up, while the "cold" dimensions would allow it to still pass scrutineering.

    I found this very interesting, they really need to tie up this loophole, there is a good blog on scarbsf1 which explains the rule changes.

    In it he says

    Lastly the exhaust position is also controlled by ensuring no bodywork sits in the tail pipes wake. To measure this, an imaginary cone (diverging at 3 degrees) in line with the pipe, reaching as far back as the rear axle line must be drawn. This cone (drawn red in the illustrations) must not touch any bodywork, nor must bodywork be placed over the cone.
    There is an illustration also, so it seems the FIA may have tried to cover this kind of thing off already? The question is, can bodywork outside the vicinity of the ''cone'' collect the gases and then blow them onto the diffuser etc.

    So easy to miss the breaking point at turn 15. Challenging circuit.

    Montezemolo has seen the plans and the model for the tunnel of Ferrari in 2012, it seems that he was amazed by its 'unique' look
    Apparently Montezemolo saw the more 'radical' version of the car, with a stunning front end, 'amazing' pontoons and very compact rear.

    I've got to say that I enjoy reading these tweets even though I know they can't be relied on. And even if they were true, things will change a lot from now anyway.

    Sometimes you know a source has been reliable in the past, although I don't really know this source other than when Jose shares stuff from them with us

    On the other hand, some sources spew utter garbage and can't get it right even after the event, ie pitpass.com

    that is running EBD and high rake. Its part of the design of the car. It is designed around that concept.

    Dont really know how they have got around that, running an RB7

    I wonder if they classified this as one of their allowed practice sessions? If so, using the RB7, I wonder if the RB7 is more a starting point for the RB9 because of the expected rule changes?

    what is a pontoon?

    and RB would just be using one of their 'filming days' thise Pirellis were not the ones used in the races iirc, and they would have been very hard tyres. and, if you look at the most recent Ferrari racing news, Jules Bianchi also had a quick go in the F150.

    I think they have gone for sidepods similar to those of the B195.
