    What's your problem dude? You are attacking people without any reason, whinig about us solving issues with 100% NEW AND AGRESIVE CAR, not posting the fastest laps while Ferrari themselfs said that they don't want to do that... Are you McLaren fan trolling over here or what? This is testing, deal with it.

    11:25 Alonso, sporting soft compounds and the periscope gauge seen without fail so far on the F2012, heads out of the pits for his first run in nearly two hours

    11:24 Much to the delight of the fans, the Ferrari finally returns to the fray

    Changing suspension is a on its own responsibility that effects all areas of the car and dont forget we have built this car almost from zero.Not just rear we also switched fronf suspension so we have really a lot of work to do.Because we have no datas with pull rod but the others did a evolution and carry all infos to this season car.They are more lucky than us at that point.Ferrari and drivers says its potential is hidden in it,there is a big potential that we have to determine.As many of you said before me friend i agree most of you.I am not in a panic right now this is just first pre season test and as i said we have a newest car.After the break we have to push as much as possible.Tomorrow it is ending and there will be ten days break and i belive team will sourt out all the problems we have right now.There is still more time a month we can do it.

    Maybe in your country there is no word to express "irony". Also I never replied on any of your posts as you did before. So I never attacked to you. I just express my feelings. And as for the McLaren Guy:

    Sauber reporting that they will break early for today, as Ferrari investigate a drivetrain issue on the car

    All Ferrari powered cars have small sidepods this year ,..more cooling required to keep hydraulics working efficiently

    So you're saying smaller sidepods equals more cooling? Because I think it's the exact opposite.

    That definitely didn't look like irony, but ok. I am not in the mood of checking if you are the one whining about everything Ferrari did so far (there is so much similar avatars here...) so if it wasn't you, I am sorry then... If it was you, try to calm down please, there is 8 days of testing to come -> plenty time to solve all possible issues.

    Nopes...I meant...smaller sidepods == less drag..but require more cooling to work everything else efficiently

    Yeah. I read on ScarbsF1 that Ferrari are doing some magic with that engine.

    More news on Ferrari, with Alonso out there running

    11:48 For the record, Alonso's time is also Ferrari's best lap at Jerez this week, some four tenths better than Massa's best from yesterday

    11:47 The F2012 is still a little twitchy in the corners

    11:46 Good news for Ferrari as Alonso completes his fastest lap of the day: a 1m20.412s

    Trackside observations: ALO making the FER look a lot more stable in corners than MAS did yesterday. Improved set-up, or driver difference?

    It's funny, because some people think that they know the truth after two days.... :)
    Firstly Keke has always come across as a bit anti-Ferrari. Maybe a grudge for never racing for them.

    Secondly McLaren at this point last year was also considered a failure, and laughed at through the paddock.

    I can only imagine what Fernando would have achieved in Felipe's 2008 Ferrari...

    and we would have had him, if Todt could have let go of his silly grudge from 2002.

    12:25 After some debate, we think the Ferrari sounds different to the others - a throatier noise.

    12:25 Suggestions are that it could be related to the exhaust design.

    Could it also be the bodywork around the exhaust pipes?

    finally Alonso is back out, rejoining the spanish crowd
    So 2023 started off bad, but managed to claw back some lap time come end of the year. Lets hope SF24 will give us tifosi something to smile about.

    @InsideFerrari reveals: "A few runs for more aerodynamic measurements now. This is a very important job, aimed to get more understanding of the car's behaviour."
    "Aerodynamics is for those who cannot manufacture good engines."

    Ahora Ferrari ha puesto parafina en el difusor, seguramente la nueva versión.


    Now Ferrari has paraffin in the diffuser, surely the new version

    Paraffin?
