    Its funny the FIA wanted to reduce the height of the nose tip, but here we see the nose tip remains the same height

    I suspect another rule change next year

    It is officially F2012, right?

    If so:

    What you get when aerodynamics are mutated by regulations and not a natural progression and refinement under physical laws alone.

    Reminds of this tbh.



    It's a shame the regs pushed us this way really. F1 likes to wear its beauocracy on its sleeve these days though. Now we can be reminded of that fact every time we see an F1 car

    Is there any REALLY hi-res official front side photo? The best I was able to find was 1280x800 which is kinda lame... There has to be something more than that

    The F2012 has left for Jerez

    Maranello, 3 February –This afternoon, the F2012 set off on its journey to make its track debut, scheduled for 7 February at Jerez de la Frontiera, in Andalusia. The only car available so far was launched this morning to all the fans of the Prancing Horse through the medium of the Maranello company’s website and was then returned to the Car Assembly area where the final touches were put to it. Then, at dusk, on a very cold day that actually did not see any more snow fall in the end, it was loaded onto a high-speed transporter which then left for Jerez.

    It’s a long way to go, given the distance separating Maranello from the Spanish city is around 2,200 kilometres and it is due to arrive tomorrow night. Some members of the team will already be there awaiting its arrival, while the majority will fly out of Bologna on Sunday morning.

    On the bright side, the number should be clearly visible...

    Lol. I expect complainings from Maccas already. This is just the show car, not the final Melbourne one, and there are question marks already.

    Assuming that FIA's decisions were against Ferrari as of late, let us hope that if the car turns damn quick, the entire F1 Grid and FIA will not play the cards against us this season.

    What kind of question marks I wonder ? Ferrari had all the rules, and the car is made according to them. WTH are they wondering about already ?

    LOL Yeah ! It looks even higher than last year. As I've said, I'm expecting complainings from teams and controls from FIA.

    Both our drivers, also Stefano, Nicolas and Pat, all seem too confident and Mclaren fans don't like it. They are afraid, afraid of what this car can achieve this year, that's why they are panicking already :P

    Odd. I get a "Caution: Category Pornography" when I try to load it.

    Although, I guess that makes sense, on second thought

    WOW I dont care what she looks like, as long as she wins us races and fast so what. Looks as if the whole car is working the air alot better and more aggressive than what we have seen on our cars for past couple years. Looking forward to see the new wings. The exhaust exits look interesting, may blow the brakes or rear wheel rim to help get heat in them and downforce. Love the line on the side pods, working the air flow the whole length and helping the rear wing ( lower plane).

    I know testing is nothing to jump up and down about, for speed etc etc, but really cannt wait see her on track.

    The nose really is ugly- but I think she will be fast and make me love her anyway. It is very aggressive, and that is a good thing.

    I love all of the amateur aerodynamicists chiming in. We should send the hot air to Italy to clear up the snow.
    Cheers,
    Ray

    I think that means all 2012 F1 cars and not the F2012 specifically....

    Greig + wacc: Yes, this is the picture. But I would need it with a lot biger resolution for what I am doing, which I guess Ferrari didn't released.

    This pic is fantastic. Really highlights the "undernose" (and the wing--holy cow, how many different elements it has )

    Excellent Picture of the new Frontal Area of the 2012 Ferrari Race Car! All of the Front Wing Elements are working toward capturing more of the front volume of air and speeding up the rate it flows backward toward the lower portion of the Sidepods and the Rear Diffuser & Rear Wing with the Floor and Undertry used as an active element as well! There are dedicated High Pressure and Low Pressure areas of air that influence the downforce of the entire race car. I love looking at this car and how it is using Air Flow.

    Ciao.

    Forza Ferrari!!!!
