me too...

[sav_pap]

I wonder why we don't have live timing by F1 official site. As far as I know this is an official test.

[bladeswing]

[Aruba]

GPUpdate #live #F1 We are just looking into the Ferrari exhausts now and they do look very Red Bull-like indeed bit.ly/JYPUq3

Bleh...

I'm confuse too. It seems more angled inwards which is strange. Everyone is aiming for the gap between the diffuser and the wheel, or in other words, the side of the diffuser.

[Nathan]

1.21.363 for Alonso

[anialonso]

a 1.21.363..
just mind blowing

[nazhrein]

Nando 1:21.363

[Novita_24]

Nice!!! Keep it coming...

[bladeswing]

ahhh... feeling better and better i hope we improve massively and constantly from here on in.

NEW EXHAUST CONFIGAURATON!
"Wie erwartet hat der Ferrari einen ganz neuen Auspuff. Er ist bündig in die Seitenkästen eingelassen und bläst leicht nach innen. Um die Endrohre herum sind Kiemen angebracht. Die Ausleger am Ende der Seitenkästen sind verschwunden. " - AMUS

As expected Ferrar have a very new exhaust. It is build in the engine cover and blows inwards. The ducts at the rear of the engine cover have disappeared.

eh?... can someone pls explain before my nose starts to bleed?

[tpe]

Is it my idea that it is even more tight on the rear end?

[anialonso]

another good thing is that Nando is putting a good mileage early on...

[tpe]

OK, now they talking... If knew what tyres he is using...

[anialonso]

OK, now they talking... If knew what tyres he is using...

same question...

[sure303]

Can see a vertical split on the engine cover..

[bladeswing]

Is it my idea that it is even more tight on the rear end?

i asked this same thing in the development thread. that rear looks even more tight, like shrink wrap over the engine / internal parts

[Hornet]

I'd say Ferrari exhaust solution is slightly different from our competitor. Red Bull features a ramp leading to the edge of the diffuser.

This is what Scarb said

@ScarbsF1
We didnt see that coming ferrari latest exhaust, is a revision of the Acer duct solution, not McLarens or Saubers

So there you go.

Still not sure how is Ferrari using the exhaust gas this time. Hopefully someone can shed some light.
