Mugello F1 testing,1-3 May 2012

[Sianellen]

Because when Prost is driving we won't need it.

hehe, of course.

Did anyone decide if we are sacking everyone except the cooks and Prost yet?

[sav_pap]

Because when Prost is driving we won't need it.

I read somewhere that we have a 312T ready for him but he rejected the offer so finally he will race in a F2004.

I also read somewhere that TSN members are not anymore allowed to consume alcohol during the F1 testing days!

[sav_pap]

I have already broke this!

Got this from Gpupdate:

Looking back to Barcelona, we were watching trackside and the Ferrari was 'flip-flopping' all over the place - it is better now, but we all know that they're still trying to dramatically improve it

I'm going to need a lot of that if we don't improve in Barcelona

The cooks are going too. Massa is our new cook.

Thanks for this one mate.Sounds good.

P.S Can we please focus on the testing days and our team and not random things?

So besides slightly different exhausts yesterday and today, did we see any other updates on our car? Dunno about you, but after all those press releases I expected so much but see nothing major now... Maybe all improvements are under the hood? But we've been strong in this department already, it's exterior that was causing us most problems, at least I thought so...

And some of you are saying that all major updates have been postponed till Barca... Dunno but this looks fishy, either Ferrari is extremely confident or is full of sh//

Gpupdate::
Ferrari's Programme for the Second Day:

Ferrari eager to complete programme with Massa

Ferrari is keen to successfully complete its scheduled programme for Wednesday at Mugello, as testing continues and Felipe Massa steps into the cockpit. Although Fernando Alonso posted the quickest time while running a raft of updates 24 hours ago, all teams were hindered by poor conditions.

Thankfully, Wednesday has brought sunshine and temperatures already in the high teens by lunch time. With Massa on-track, Ferrari is striving to rack up as much running as possible in what is a crucial test for the Italian team after a disappointing start to the campaign, despite Alonso’s highly unexpected win in Malaysia.


“We had a pretty busy work programme, but we only managed to get through a part of it,” the Spaniard explained of Tuesday. “Therefore, it’s impossible to give a serious evaluation, especially as we did so little dry running. I can only say that, for me, it was a pleasure to be driving at this track again: the first and only other time was back in 2001 when I was testing for Minardi. It’s a spectacular track and it would be nice to be able to race on it!”

It's not bad to discuss about random things when there is no action on the track. I think φιλαράκι.

Ferrari already have an F2012C in the wind tunnel which will be ready for Monaco, along with a new colour scheme which is yellow and black.

Alain Prost has had contract talks in Maranello and will be replacing Massa for the remaining 4 races of the season, before mounting a challenge for his fifth drivers championship in 2013.

I would love to see a yellow & black ferrari on the track.

[sav_pap]

i was laughing at Paffet earlier but he has already done 49 laps. Just five laps less than Massa.

[sav_pap]

Almost two dead hours for Massa by now.

[speedmaster]

I think he had a heavy lunch and is not able to move

Someone had to warn him not to visit the Italian Restaurant in Mugello.
Now??

[dmkevin]

Really frustrating... 2hrs lost doing nothing, what the hell is happening with ferrari. Are the guys scratching and sniffing around all day long!!!

[sav_pap]

There is a sign out of our pits: "Do not disturb"

[dmkevin]

Anyone remember some time ago, someone posted an article on a reactive suspension system that supposedly ferrari was reworking on to make it legal. Don't you guys think that's why there is no major visually striking update to the car, as ferrari is testing the suspension system with both exhaust to see how beneficial it is and also testing without the suspension system to be able to compare, that's why they taking really long between stints to make changes and adjust set up accordingly!!!! just a pure guess....

[anupa2k]

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

[sav_pap]

Pussycat Finger boy is in bussiness too.
In fact he is the only driver on the track.

[Ste]

Felipe is currently briefing Alain as they go through Massa's steering and throttle trace telemetry.

[dmkevin]

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...

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