[ahusano]

Ferrari in the pits for a long time now...so it seems that lot of changes are going into the car...

From Twitter : Still some minutes before running again. The car is almost ready for the afternoon programme.

track time is very important to evaluate the upgrades... ferrari is just mucking about... i am starting to feel that it will be another trophiless year!!! What on earth are they doing to that car that requires so much time to change, what if it starts to rain, then what will MR domenicalli say! Oh we didn't have enough time to evaluate, the weather is the culprit for our lack of pace. Our wind tunnel didn't have rain so we didn't simulate that, hence forgot to take this into account at mugello testing.... these guys are a bunch of jokers, definitely not good engineers!!! waste of space...

Look at post No. 265!!

2 hours is roughly the amount of time it takes to change the exhaust. Maybe they are changing to the exhaust configuration Alonso ran yesterday.

"Back on track now for some aerodynamic work on the car" @Insideferrari

Schumacher 100 !!!!

[anupa2k]

Ferrari back on track...

[sav_pap]

... And back in @outside ferrari

Except 4-5 laps all the others timed are 1.22 - 1.23.
Either they are making qualifying simulations constantly or they've built a super-super car.
Don't smile. i'm talking about Grosjean.!

[sav_pap]

I think I'll have that pasta to the italian Ristaurante.
See you tomorrow.
Hope Massa posts a 1.21.000 in a while.

I am losing hope too. I don't think ferrari has really good upgrades in there tool box, that's why we are not seeing any. If they had and we tested it and didn't work what would they have said then... i believe the usual will come out. Mr Domenicalli will prob say: The upgrades we brought to spain didn't reflect the performance we got from the wind tunnel and CFD, as they were not ready for mugello testing we couldn't evaluate them... We are now going to concentrate on the 2013 car which will definitely be a winner from day 1!!!

[Chicane]

Relax guys..there is still tomorrow

[Red_Diamond]

are some people new to testing?

The aim of testing is to evaluate new parts, even if you can't see them doesn't mean they're not there and not about
setting the fastest time.

I would reserve my judgement until spain quali....

15:34 The Ferrari is still traveling with the well-known engine cover. The tailpipes are aimed clearly visible far below the inside. Something the engineers seem to have changed in the rear. On the diffuser flow-Vis color was sprayed with which the flow can be made visible.

Is that a good thing or not???
Could you explain that in detail???

[Jose Lorca]

Let's hope this tweet from Scarbs is true. We really need to test the big pieces asap, others are already testing new exhausts:

Statement or request? coz you just got my hopes up and quite frankly those things need tone confined to a recycling bin. Though i do remember from BArcelona testing that our car was consistently fastest in the high speed corners...
