    Yep! Ferrari have made the nose like this for a reason; to hear some people you'd think Ferrari just got bored when designing the car and did the nose any old way.

    for a Ferrari fan you sure seem to be unhappy with them a lot, how about you wait and see come 1st race where we stand?

    Kimi giving Alonso a hard time LOL, seriously you are trolling right?

    I wouldn't want Kimi racing for us, even if he was willing to pay us to do so.

    People, then I keep wondering, what kind of a Ferrari fan were you from July - November 2009? Were you all on Badoer/Fisi 's side during the whole time?

    I couldn't tell about everybody, but certainly some of us were still cheering on BOTH Ferraris, as we'd always do no matter who is driving them.

    I reserved judgement until now so ive had all day to think about the car. Compared to last years car i can see a major difference in the body work and i could prob list about 10 things that are different to last years car. Apart from the front wing which im getting used to now i see beyond that and i think we have a pretty aggressive car!

    Front wing is longer and wider
    Brake ducks inlets are larger
    the supports for the front wing are wider
    Car has more rake than the 150th
    Mirrors are taller and seem larger
    Seems like smaller barge boards
    The small little wings (next to driver) seem larger this year
    Air intake is larger and more curveier
    2 Air intakes on the top of the car - i wonder if thats feeding the defuser
    Oz racing rims - if only these were gold
    Backend is tightand compact
    Rear Brakes/Drums are different this year
    Not sure if the DRS cord was attached
    DRS flap is smaller

    anyone like to add well at least Ferrari have come out fighting this year hope shes fast as she looks!

    I think there are some people out here like myself have Engineering careers. This is not black magic and only a few understand. It is very entertaining hearing the comments and people judging the car's ability based on its the visual impressions. LOL. Many people make the error of not understanding the design and lack an understanding of certain features on the race car.

    Ciao.

    Forza Ferrari!!!!

    Hey if its ugly its ugly. I don't need an engineering background to work that one out. Whether the ugliness will make it fast, over to you, I don't have a clue about aerodynamics. If its slow, that will be the end of Stefano. A beautiful but slower car, you have hope, an ugly slower car you will hate with a passion.

    i am getting used to the car. to be honest, from the front it looks a little futuristic for me, for some reason. it will be a little less blatant soon, but i can live with it.

    who cares anyways, other cars will be the same, and come November, i hope we are clutching both titles, everyone calling our car a machine, and 'beautiful', and then we can leave Mac fans bragging about their beauty pageant.

    Let's hope this is the talent part of the beauty contest.

    But if this car wins it will soon go from ugly duckling to swan.


    Personally the design really doesn't bother me that much, I like different

    Thing Im wondering, we've only seen a few new cars, the only 1 that doesnt have the platEpus nose is the Mac...
    Are they just dissen everyone only to show up in Spain with a platEpus nose? Or have they figured a way to get downforce
    by a different process/design? I gotta see what Merc has done too....

    We can complain about the new look, but this design is what the engineers have come up with within the rules to achieve a race winning car.
    And really, what if Ferrari is throwing a curve and have a completely different front on it come 1st race? The games afoot...

    This car really looks like it means business! The macca already looks ancient compared to our car.
    Lets see what mercedes and red bulls come up with. If they have a similar nose i think it will make those guys at woking very nervous....

    I don't know why we always have posts getting stuck into our team/design - if you've got energy to to burn, why not get stuck into things/teams/people who are working against us

    Have faith in, and support your team, I would have thought that's what a fan/supporter would instinctively do.

    Now, the car, ugly yes, but who cares as long as its fastest.

    Holy Bat-Mobile Batman! LOL.




    All jokes aside, I think the F2012 looks tough and I have complete faith in our boys in red. The rear looks really tightly packed! Looking forward to testing and to the start of the season. Forza Ferrari

    these are my thoughts about the f2012.
    1. the ugliness of the nose is simple because of the new regulations, ferrari can came up with a lower nose to make it look beautiful in the eye. BUT the designers want a vast amount of air going underneath the car so the high nose is the solution, but in order to comply with the regulations, the nose will look very ugly but very effective
    2. the pull rod at the front i think they want to get a lower CG and i think they want to minimize the travel of the front suspension, this could be incorporated with the aggressive approach. lets see
    3. with the mini wing in front of the side pods, i think they are trying to maximize the efficiency of air traveling into the sidepods
    4. someone noticed that the side view mirrors are a little higher that the f150??? maybe it has something to do with the curve at the top of the sidepods front section, maybe for better air flow.
    5. i also noticed that the air box is a little too thin in cross section. better air flow again.
    6. i think that large bodywork at the rear is intended to blow the large rear brake duct fins with radiator and exhaust heat not gasses.
    7. the rear section is really tapered yet again, better airflow. i just wonder how small is the current gearbox is.
    8. with the rear pullrod suspension, ferrari is trying get better airflow at the rear with lowerCG. GREAT.

    thats for now, ferrari stated that there are more to come. but i think it is already the car, for testing, they might be just fine tuning it, a few millimeter of alteration only
    and from with the Q and A's with the directors, they sound very very confident about the car.

    After the first few races all these macca fan boys will be complaining that Mclaren isn't fast enough because they don't have the nose hump.

    I think were also some rumors about the front using pull rod, and an exact artist drawing of that front nose bump. This worries me, lol. I mean, its like someone's leaking out all these info.

    Though the good thing is there were also rumors indicating a lot of positive improvement with the performance in the simulator, so I hope they are right
