2011 Valencia Testing.

[NJB13]

Homologation takes place every year...doesn't it?? And our rims were developed last year so that could have been copied this year..........and this year regulation is very specific about the surface area of the spokes of the rim....so how did ferrari manage to carry over the same wheel rims from last year????

I am a bit confused on this....plz shed some light on it.

Yep, homolgation happens each year. Not 100% sure, but last year the frizbee was an insert which could be taken off and put back. For this year, they made some rules, essentially to try and ban our frizbee wheels. What I "think" I see is the frizbee is less than last year, seems set back and is part of the rim itself now. All of which was probably just enough to get a tick under the new rules. If that is the case then we will have another year where we are the only one using it.

looking at this pic



i was thinking where do they put the flow-vis paint, from the reaction shown there, its like the paint burst out from that engine channel on the middle of our F150 backside..

Y do i see a v shaped groove on slick tyres??

Because they're intermediates, not slicks.

I imagine they spray the paint on the leading edge of the rear wing. Then, when the air flows over it, the paint is spread with it. They may just paint the whole wing and have the excess run off.

We saw the Red Bull last year dripping with it as it left the garage.

They painted it, before Alonso left the garage/box/pit... (0:29)

here's the answer..

pretty manual though, i thought they would use some hi tech spray or some sort..

Good old handiwork

So Barrichello has stopped on track already. They had problems with their kers yesterday and decided to run without it. Weren't they supposed to have the famous 'flywheel kers' which should be the best system of all

They are. Ditched the flywheel design mid way through 2009. I reckon it'd be too heavy.

True. They said that's too heavy for F1 car so they use it in Porsche series only.

For everyone who is interested in the laptimes:

When you click on the drivers name you get the times of every lap done. Also a lot of information from the track- if you speak greek! But then there's always google

It is clear that Ferrari is not looking for time, but is working on other aspects.

Alonso returns to the pits.

[Hermann]

Fernando has only done 18 laps so far- and no significant times. Total silence on the ferrari twitter- i wonder what is going on
