Great news. I guess having a working DDRS will be a great boost and would certainly help the team to challenge Red Bull in qualifying.

The last time we got pole position in dry quali was way back in 2010 season, when Alonso started from pole for the Singapore GP. So a really long time ago. :rollQuote:

I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that Nando will come out as the luckier one, in the end. :prayQuote:

Remember guys, new parts are being brought to every race said Tombazis.
So don't be surprised if not all of this stuff that has been tested shows up straight away. There may be a need to change things etc. especially sine this sound like a big big package.
Good point. But I still hope that most of the new stuff will be available already in India, so that we could give the Red Cow's bum a good whipping. The fact is, that we simply cannot let the finger boy win in India. 'Cause if Vettel wins, then it will be almost impossible to stop him from winning the WDC. Sad but true. :-sQuote:

Most of it has to work in India straight away out of the box, otherwise it would be too late. Ferrari brought a super package to Brazil in 2006, it was admirable but it was too late.
Customs should not be a problem for Ferrari...The Indian ambassador to Italy has met up with Luca D n also he visited the factory last year with the entire diplomatic team...
I think the politics of it all would have sorted out the issues..:thumb

Like it was pointed out, all of the updates probably wont be on the car this weekend, but WHAT an effort this is! That alone has made me ecstatic :-D Let's show red bulls what Ferrari can do :-D
And, maybe we should just act gloomy and pessimistic just so we don't jinx anything ;-)
So 3 tests and all the updates apart DDRS seem to work..if they work then we are definitely in the shot for WDC..
i just hope that the correlation between Cologne's tunnel and the track is actually positive......
we need to have a good quali and then Fernando will manage the rest......
Even though both drivers' DNFs have yielded nil points, for analysis' sake, there is a big difference between a DNF caused by reliability problems, and a passive DNF due to some idiot crashing you out.Quote:

Source?
I don't understand how they can test new upgrades just in a straight line.
Don't they need alot of sensors etc to aid them for that or how does it works?
I am really pleased to read all this stories about big upgrade package for India, and 3 straight line test which went good, but still I refuse to believe in all that until FP1, and actual performance of F2012
I'd imagine all those sensors are there in the test.Quote:

Of course its just limited to aero testing. Other stuff like tire performance cannot be tested in straight line.
Just watched the to tombazis interview, I'm confident now that we're in good shape for last 4 races, although we wnt know until the weekend, is 0.5 of a second gain achievable in one shot? What do we need to find on race pace?
same here..:thumbQuote:

If our car is on par with Red Bulls, I won't need to wish for a Ferrari win or even pray for good luck. Because I know that Alonso can do the rest, and that applies to Massa too. I'm very confident that given an equal car we will definitely triumph over our rivals. The Red Bull drivers without the fastest car rarely impress. Ferrari drivers on the other hand...
