    Sky Sports F1 analyst Martin Brundle says Ferrari's F2012 is a "handful", but feels there is still enough time for the Scuderia to fix their problems.

    Ferrari have stuttered during pre-season testing so far with Fernando Alonso admitting the "car is reasonably complex and needs time" while team-mate Felipe Massa feels "there's still a lot to do, for example on the exits of corners".

    Brundle says the Maranello-based squad still have work to do ahead of the Australian Grand Prix, but insists they are better off than McLaren were at the same stage last year.

    "The Ferrari looks a bit of a handful, especially when it's coming out of a corner trying to put the power down," he told Sky Sports News.

    "Instead of doing long runs, like the Red Bull and McLaren, they are still trying to sort their car. There's time yet, and they will put a lot of new parts on before Melbourne, and it doesn't look as bad as the McLaren did last year, but they've got some issues - there's no doubt about it."

    While Ferrari are struggling, McLaren's MP4-27 has looked impressive.

    "The teams are doing a lot of long runs with high fuels so I don't think the absolute lap times are that important but I have to say I've had a couple of hours right beside the race-track this afternoon and the McLaren is looking very good," Brundle said.

    I'm assuming trying to get some time on the second chassis.

    Again, you know nothing about the fuel load (they surely carry a lot of fuel but both teams can have different amount of it). And btw, Grosjean was on softs while Alonso on mediums.

    By clicking on the driver's name you open a new window with all times.

    In article they say that new chassis has been built in order to accomodate new exhaust. That way they want to save some time. It makes sense, just look how much time we lost on various setups (hacksaw-in-action) for different exhaust positions on our car...

    A bit confused here..If they have built the new one to accomodate the new exhaust..what wil they do with this..Will they have time to modify n test n ship off this chassis to Aus in a week.?

    they should introduce tomorrow new supa-dupa-Newey-exhaust and chassis is modified for that new exhaust so that they can save time (its logic just look how much time did we loose with various setups on exhaust positions on the same chassis)
    Sorry I've just seen that info underneath your link Medeni73,thanks!

    "Der Einsatz eines zweiten Chassis spart Red Bull Zeit. So konnten die Mechaniker in der Fabrik in Ruhe das Auto auf den neuen Stand umrüsten. Wäre das in Barcelona mit dem Einsatzchassis passiert, hätten die Monteure die ganze Nacht arbeiten müssen. Die modernen Autos sind so kompliziert, dass das Umrüsten auf eine andere Spezifikation Tage in Anspruch nehmen kann." - AMUS article

    Translator:

    The use of a second chassis saves time Red Bull. That way mechanics can slowly update the car in the factory. Had this happened in Barcelona with the use of chassis, the engineers had to work all night. Modern cars are so complicated that the conversion can take on a different specification of days.

    Thanks for clarifying that.

    Alonso seems to get five or six good laps out of a set of softs before the pace drops away, but Grosjean's hold up a little longer.
