13:28 @InsideFerrari Just like yesteday, we're doing a big set-up change on the car, so don't expect to see us running soon.

in this video our car looks fantastic.

We're back out on track
The FIA has doubled the load on the front wing stiffness test for 2012. It will be much harder (twice as hard in fact) to get the front wing to flex while still passing the static deflection test. I have yet to see a photo of a 2012 car showing the amount of front wing flex seen on the Red Bull or Ferrari last year, and I don't expect to.
very nice images of ours rear end

Do you know what day of testing that image is from? I haven't been able to see the exhaust they are using today yet, wondering if this is from todays session.
anyone know what that bronze colored foil stuff is wrapping parts of the rear suspension?

Remember last year Red Bull had this huge air duct in the middle at the rear. Ferrari tried that too, but revert to the vertical slot again.
But for the 2012 here, that air duct is wrapped around the rear crash structure, its almost hard to notice the air duct at all.
Most probably heat sensors.
Are those new brake ducts from the image above? I havn't seen any good shots of them before, anyway they look epic!
AVANTI!
Are we seeing first race stint simulation? When "yes" than the times are pretty good...

Look at this impressive cosistency by massa on this long run:
57 outlap

71 ----
well its not THAT impressive but pretty OK... of course we have no idea how much fuel he had and what did they exactly do...
this stint was on mediums btw...
Considering how much time we always stay in the pits we should be satisfied with our mileage today...
yes of course but then again we have no idea how much fuel on board they had and if Massa/Button used tires had or new ones...
Finally we are going to hit the 100 mark today i think
Massa's just gone back out on a set of hard tyres
First lap: 1:30.531
Hope that's not race sim
yes and hopefully we wont have ANY kind of technical problems with car and thats a good sign too :)
Pretty good so far guys.We are trying long runs at the end and no mechanical issues.A lot of laps we have done but i want to ask for this long stints which compunds we used from the begining to the last lap
Next lap: 1:26.506
Thank god.
I have just read an article in which Ecclestone is being quoted as saying about Ferrari:
""They know what the problem is.
"It's not difficult to fix, and I think you are going to find they are going to fix it quite shortly.
"But the sport needs them to be strong. Absolutely, 100 per cent. That's exactly what we need.""
Fine, it's Bernie, but anyone dare speculate what he is referring to ?

i personally dont' now exactly what he's reffering to when he says we're gonna "fix" the problem shortly...but i hope it's something that we have UP OUR SLEEVES that we're going to blow everyone away come Q3 in OZ...oh, and by everyone, i was mostly reffering to Red Fools, Cristian Horny and last but not least Marko Dietriczxhfeke...whatever the F***k his name is

Impressive from Felipe.

Very very nice
Given the amount of testing Ferrari has done with exhaust position, I would bet money that is the 'problem'. I think the first position they attempted was quite radical, and it may just not work on the track as well as it did in the wind tunnel. Changing the exhaust position is not that big a deal as it is not a structural part of the car. My guess is next week they show up with a more inboard exhaust, and the side pod chimneys modified accordingly.
