Noticed also at 2:12 in the video that the red bull is not so unbelieveabe stable like some people are praying all the time.

I see Andrew Benson (BBC) has been writing garbage on Twitter again this evening...
Absolute rubbish. How does he know fuel loads, or degradation levels? BBC aren't even at the test.For what it's worth, I've been number crunching again. Red Bull appeared to have best part of a second on McLaren today
to be honest, i try to think that the RedBull has at least 5 tenths on any time they set in testing. just my musing though. not concrete.
general consensus is that ferrari have been improving just like they said they would be.
In Stefano Domenicali, we have a team boss who has proved to be a leader. - Luca diMontezemelo
Hamashima at work:
Hey CrucialXtreme,you comment on Autosport forum that "Ferrari will stay in Barcelona & have filming day after the testing session. "Could you tell us where do you know please or source?
Alonso said he would prefer a fast and unreliable car to areliable slow car when he asked about the comparison of the F2012 with the F150
Keep faith guys we ar not in a bad pssition we will see and show the others in melbourne where we are.
Alonso smiling at the press conference:
The sleeping beast will wake up in melbourne and eat the red cows:

I just watched the Flying Lap w/Peter Windsor..very good program, 1st time Ive seen it..
They mentioned that Ferrari will indeed do 2 filming days following this test, and that Ferrari has flown in
the teams wives/girlfriends, as they will not be back to Maranello until after Malaysia.
Peter and Scarbs F1 did the show, they talked mostly about RB, Ferrari n Mac, plus a few others. They had drawings and foto's
of the exhausts, front wings especially Mercs, sidepods, etc..Very informative and intelligent program with no favoritism in any way.
They did bring up a point Ive been wondering about, n thats the slot on the RB nose slot, def a channel for air, but to where..Newey said its "primarily"
for cooling, but they all say that. Theres a few places to see flying lap, I caught it on speed.com, it will reair until the new program streams.
Allright,thanks a lot Nova
Twitter:
After testing models of Barcelona, Ferrari will stay in Montmelo to shoot the 'Filming Day' which is pending.
From the look that i have had at the data available i think the ferrari lacks df and is struggling with tyre deg at the moment... Unless they are 2 seconds a lap quicker than others they are running relatively low (not empty but not anywhere near what other top teams appear to be running) fuel and the laptime drop is fairly bad... maybe this is down to the pullrod front end and not getting it in the right zone for now and therefore becoming front end limited... we will only know Q3 aus...
I was actually just cruising Speedtv.com as he still works for Speed and found it..or try

Its the latest episode that aired today, episodes are numbered.
I have a good feeling about he F2012, don't know why but we have not seen what that baby is really capable of!
I believe in her but she's just a baby girl trying to make her first steps !
"I cannot judge what he did in his time at Renault and McLaren but I have worked with World Champions Schumacher, Villeneuve and Raikkonen and Fernando is the one who impresses me the most," said Gene.
Ma come? Force India and Sauber are faster than Ferrari????
That body work is either shrinkwrapped or melted under the heat....sidepod inlets are much smaller this year...
Ho paura e vero. Guardano i tempi.
Just beautiful...well we are not running a higher rake. and the front wing looks higher...??
That part is removable so it's development part. You can't read too much out of flow vis without Uv light but you can see what they wanted to do with the air fow over the side pods. Usually they spray flow vis at top of sidepods so they can see if the air flow stays attached to the sidepods. You can see the small dots of flow vis all the way from the fornt to the end of the sidepods. The air flow is collected at the end of chanell in the exhaust area and it's pointing simetric with the exhaust flow which is in fact redirected using the body work because regs do not allow to point the exhaust pipe so low. Than the exhaust plume speeds this air flow from sidepods. From this picture we can see that flow is directed through brake fins by outside rear wing pylons to the side top of diffuser. The principle is the same as last year to try seal the air under the diffiusor proventing the dirty air from the tyre ruining the flow under the diffuser. The other good thing is that this allows higher rearend which allow us to run more rake. How effective is this sloution only Ferrari knows from data. To find out how much influence this has they need to run different exhaust positions to make comparisson. They are also testing alternative solutions. Furthermore you can see that on wing plyons the flow vis is pointed upwards what indicates that the top of beam wing and the airofil shaped pylons air doing their job. Even at diffuser the flow stays attached and it's pointing upwards. The outside part of rear wing pylons are without markings what is good indication that most of the air from where flow vis was applied stays attached to the flow along side pods and does not split at some point.
This flow vis test is mainly used to compare the CFD simulation with track simulation.

i still think that Ferrari/Alonso may be hiding a couple of ACES up their sleeves; there is NO WAY our F2012 is that much off pace....i REFUSE to believe that
what if on last day of testing Ferrari will pull a fast one on both Red Fools and McMowers, just like they did in 2004 with their F2004 machine when everyone thought Ferrari were all doomed....see this LINK and hopefully we'll be doing this OVER AGAIN:

So 2023 started off bad, but managed to claw back some lap time come end of the year. Lets hope SF24 will give us tifosi something to smile about.
that looks like heat warpage
we're number one
no it isn't, it was there from day ONE, at the launch too
