Mugello F1 testing,1-3 May 2012

Yeah Italian media reports it will all change in Spain, engine cover, exhaust, rear wing and floor again.

Hope so, because this looks pretty basic & doesn't seem to give any extra benefit.

[khizerk]

As per Scarbs, at least this exhaust isn't the best performing one out there, but is likely to be more stable. Isn't that what the exhaust in the first 4 races was supposed to be anyway? :s

[tpe]

Is push-rod mounted higher?

[Rishu]

Btw, Double DRS for Sauber:

Ferrari now has a double-blown diffuser.

Sounds like Spain will be even more interesting. Can't wait for next week to see what else do we have.

Two hours completed waiting for our car to see again on track

Today`s updates from Ferrari :: with a major update to their sidepod and exhaust configuration.

[Jose-Lorca Fan]

Well well well, what do we have here?
Nice to see we have brought possible solutions for our problems and that they might be working. The exhaust looks like an interim solution and i suspect it will change again at Barcelona along with other parts of the car too. If our car is somewhere up there come Barcelona then ferrari fans should ber very optimistic because if reports are to be believed we have another raft of updates for Canada which should hopefully topple us to the top. Moreover, with a new exhaust the drivers will be able to choose better set-ups, the car will no longer be compromised from a stiff suspension and the inevitable lack of top speed. The latter has also improved, yesterday we were only 0.5 km/h slower than the fastest team on the straights.
As for the times i don't we should be looking too much into it, yesterday Charles Pic from Maurussia did a 1:23.9, and they have so far been at least 4 seconds slower than all front runners at all previous grand prix this year, meaning a time of 1:20 is probably the limit for top teams.

Looks like we need to wait till post lunch to see our car on track

Where are you guys getting the updates?

I'm following gpupdate which is not very up to date, and Ferrari twitter seems slow too

Refreshes every 2 mins.

Thanks for the link

[DJTaurus]

Just see what F1Fanatic retweeted:

RT @f1enigma: Imagine what would have happen if Massa was behind the wheel today having this off instead of Alonso ...

And dont forget his previous tweet: Has Alonso not read his rule book? Drivers don't have to leave room on both sides of the track, just when returning to the racing line. #F1
