Now I'm confused. Is all this good or bad news?

FERRARI FOR EVER !!!!!!!
We will see on race day? we can't just upgrade for the sake of upgrading there needs to be some gain or benefit to doing so.
Forza Ferrari
Rumour is the new floor will not arrive in time for this weekend.
Maybe Suzuka.

New front wing on bottom..
CAVALLINO RAMPANTE PER SEMPRE
If the updates about the floor not arriving in time are true then that is very disappointing. I feel that Ferrari's best chance for a win will come in the next three races and so we need all the updates present and working in harmony with each other. I don't really know how much the new floor will bring in terms of performance but we need every little tenth out there to help us secure as many points as possible. Let's hope the new floor isn't as important as the other upgrades being brought here...

OK, maybe it is new but I can not spot the difference
Hungary:
Back from speaking to a confident @alo_oficial. He thinks Ferrari will be competitive in the next three races. He wants to "attack"
So if Alonso is confident then they definitely have something up in the bag...
New rear wing:
But the rumor is it may not be raced this weekend
EDIT:
The real thing:
Great stuff:

Look there is handwritten signature of Byrne on that floor.....
What a disappointing Thursday
Ferrari Rear End Detail (New Perforated Monkey Seat, New Diffuser Gurney & Halfshaft Aero Stabiliser):
Ferrari F2012 - Twin Element Sidepod Airflow Conditioners have been Widened:
Ferrari F2012 - Camera Fins moved from in between the Front Wing Pylons to the outside of Nosecone as YDT:
That rear wing looks the size of a barn door! It should generate a lot of drag but also a lot of downforce.
Is the floor the old one or new one?

Great pictures Hombre! Looks like loads of aero updates, I hope there are a few mechanical updates too.

Pfft just back from "Specsavers"
Only meaningful difference I saw, is between the mounting posts of the lower (newer) wing which has the plane in there tidied up to fill the space between the posts as well as being slightly flatter, Possibly to create a better "Ventura" effect and reduce the air pressure beneath the wing and front end of the body?, plus the No 5 painted on it.
I think the different camera angles are giving a false impression for the apparent variation you are seeing on the top plane.
As for the Signature cant see that either.

We don't need a big update (size XXL) but a big gain: time per lap, tire wear, etc.
They've brought a lot of updates,and i sure as hell hope that they're going to race some of them. The rear wing looks like a very high DF one which will certainly produce a lot of drag,and i doubt whether it will be of any use elsewhere...except for at Abu Dhabi perhaps....
New Front wing:
Two new wings ?
The one with No 5 paited on is for Fernando and the one painted with No 6 is Fillipe's ??
Its all in the name - FERRARI
On a lighter side, Lego just built us a new car...
Rear wing looks enormous but as long as we win... who cares
Wasn the new wing supposed to have 4 slots on the end plate.???like he ones tested in Hungary??
If this is the new wing,the only change are to the pillar design and camera mounting...
Thanks Hombre
*FIA, please fix the noses. *

Forza Ferrari 16/15
Totus Tuus
The underside of the wings have alot of details and from these pics we cannot see anuthing. The flow on top may be fine as it is. At thestart of the year Mclaren had the best tuneing on aero. They then fell behind as others developed. 1st they hed to get more flow under the nose then pinch in the back of the sidepods to take advantage of this and now are in a good state. Ferrari probably have most flow under the nose and tightest coke bottle so I imagine all upgrades will appear small to the eye but a few mm redirection of air will have a compound effect on the rest of the car. With all the hype I think people get dissappointed unless there is a massive shape change on the car. I doubt we will see this merely tweaking of the parts which may have a huge effect.
So according to the images Ferrari have:
1.New Front Wing
2.New Rear Wing
3.New Diffuser
4.Modified some Sidepods Areas
5.New Floor(If it arrives on time)
Looks an good step forward if all give the result as expected..
Any technical news about the tests in FP1?
