I think it's the antenna-like device on top of the camera.

Standard procedure. It's best to start testing right away.

During these off season test session, there is no any official video recorded on track like in a race weekend, hence there won't be any video stream. They don't broadcast these test session

Well, a lot of it is visible, more than at any other car. That's good :)

From Auto-Moto-Sport: (warning! Google Translator)

At McLaren we can finally see the position of the exhaust pipes. The gases are diverted through a small ridge behind the pipes, in order to use aerodynamic. The biggest secret about his Ferrari's exhaust. Hardly the F2012 into the pits, the tailpipes are covered with covers. We will show you the first pictures, of course, directly as soon as the photographers are back"

**medeni73** · 7th February 2012, 08:11

Exhaust is immediately covered when tha car comes to pits so no one couldnt take a look where's blowing... :)

"The FIA could have inspected the exaust of Red Bull and Ferrari, but only is a rumor."

"FIA Tech Dir: Any exhaust designs that reingest or redirect exhaust flow for principally aerodynamic reasons will not permitted."

Hmmm,if Ferrari are hiding the exhausts,this most likely means that most likely we've done something interesting with them let's see

I thought so too. Its beautifully crafted to begin with, and looks different from anyone elses.
I hope we wipe the floor with the competition this season.

Yeah maybe we dont have one

Interesting to see that the diffuser doesn't look much different from the 150 italia

I am not sure, but the exhaust gasses are affected by bodywork in the case of McLaren. This could be banned. They are clearly directing gasses thanks to this channel.
