New wing:

I do not see any wing!

I'm not sure what people are expecting from this 4 day test when Ferrari comes out and says they're not trying to put together their fastest lap.... it's like going to sea world and expecting the dolphins to magically sprout wings and fly around the aquarium.... if Ferrari says not to expect a hooked up lap, why are some of you still expecting it? Then you wonder why some people here are getting touchy with their responses....

Right now Ferrari has a magnitude of NEW parts that they are testing, they are trying to determine if those parts will work the way their simulations indicate (to validate those simulations)....

Chill out this week people and listen to what the team is saying before testing so that you don't create unreasonable expectations....

[Tony]

I do not see any wing!

Wing in front of sidepod....

[Rosso Corsa]

Wing in front of sidepod....

It's a trick of the light/shade I think. It looks like our sidepod wing from launch to me.

Lol, now that you mentioned it, yeah, it looks like its just a shadow

I thought I saw a new curved element on the inside too

This one has a split & has wide rear profile

This one has a split & has wide rear profile

It is split from the launch... Or am I missing something?

[Rosso Corsa]

The wing at launch is identical

[Rishu]

It is split from the launch... Or am I missing something?

I was talking about the split towards the bottom rear. Its also wide to direct air right through the floor beneth the side pods to channel towards Diffuser. Lot different from the one at the launch

15:18 Ferrari suddenly looking a deal more planted as Alonso takes a look up the inside of Grosjean at Sito Pon

Very well said!

Some are so negative it's actually painful to read the thread... I guess formula 1 is too complicated for some to understand that the team is just evaluating different setups and concepts and they will only really start chasing times at the first race.

yeah id rather slow laps in practice if it means them fully understanding the car what would be worse is going for it lap after lap and not understanding the car we would be in trouble for the rest of the year. Even if it takes till practice in Australia to understand the car we all just have to be patient good rewards come to those who wait

The BBC said that the Ferrari seems glued to the asphalt with good times, with the hard tires.

BBC: The Ferrari looks glued to the track as he first passes Romain Grosjean in the Lotus and then Sebastian Vettel's Red Bull...

This ! +1

We need to be patient like they have to be evaluating the car's potential and elements.

Expect those times to change - Alonso's sector times have been improving all afternoon, and the track's full of cars.
