You will live longer if you can take a look

Relax guys, these pics aren't real, there is no way Ferrari would let anyone take a pic like that!! I believe if they are genuine the data is incorrect to "misinform" the competition, nothing wrong with playing little games ...

The tire pressure data is from Pirelli not Ferrari.....its possibly from a guy who's a tire engineer collecting data for Pirelli..
The other telemetry data could be from any other team...

Also, the tire pressures seem about right ...

Sauber and RBR have gone down the same route...using exhaust as downwash to feed the diffuser...while Ferrari have used the exhaust to blow the brake vanes...we still have a week's worth of design/manufacture in the factory before we can ship something to Melb..

Vettel may have to carry an umbrella while driving, to prevent the exhaust gas capture

Scuderia Ferrari ‏ @InsideFerrari

Today's programme includes set-up and tyre testing on short and long runs

[tpe]

maybe some of you can remember how bad we were doing at the 2004 season testing.

I do remember Schimacher to smash the Fiorano lap record, to smash a lot of records during long runs etc... And I do remember some MP4/18 to be struggling to find aero balance. I don't remember F2004 to have ANY issue and always they said that they are OK but that the opposition was strong. That's all. No media black-out, no "a lot of work to do" etc. I do remember Schumacher with a big smile on his face after 1st F2004 run.

Maybe Ferrari will bolt on the parts and new exhaust on fri in Melbourne, to get maximum time to develop them further, and pray that they will work. Reading their twitter don´t make me think we gonna see some new bodywork today.

Hope and pray every day to set up the car and be ready for Melbourne.

Gary Anderson BBC F1 technical analyst

"The first impressions are that the Red Bull is a really nicely detailed car - there are ducts and bits and pieces everywhere. It's a very complicated bodywork set-up and it will take some more looking at to understand what's going on. Ferrari also look like they've done some more work on that exhaust exit area - but I understand they have new bodywork and engine cover coming that will change it all again. Everyone seems to be working hard on that area in an attempt to try to emulate what they got from the exhaust-blown diffusers last year."

I think that's good for us

[Nisko]

any pics of our exhaust.the rumors is the exhaust is back in it's original position

[OSS EL BOSS]

Here is it the new rear wing

[FER]

Here is it the new rear wing

And if someone say Ferrari is behind because we are still testing aero behaviour, just look at the picture above and tell me what do you think is doing RB right now? The additional device on the rear is full of sensors.

Alonso goes 1st with a 1:22.733 with the Softs.

Yeah... because they have entirely new rear half of the car. It was fine here today, but you have to add another fuel to fire.

No pics. But going back to the original exhaust position would mean no tested solution is better than ours. Do I hear someone crying?

Unfortunately Senna did 1,22,6 with medium tyres so our time perhaps isn't so good...
