Very nice work team, Felipe and F2012
I think it was on mediums tyres...

We've just gone back out now, so we'll do more than 100 laps today!
There's the 100!

Even the flag went Ferrari red when we made our 100th lap
Massa is putting some very good mileage on the race car today! This is whar Ferrari needs! Obviously the speed is there now they just have to see how race simulations start to work. They were to try some very drastic setup changes for today's test. Any news as to what they are trying and how it is working out??? The Video of Senior Aerodynamics Engineer, Alex Cinelli on Youtube a few days ago gave very good insight into what they are testing and how they test. It is clear that their efforts are focused and clear in what they are trying to do in the test sessions. Corelation between the Wind Tunnel and the CFD Modeling are very important in moving the development of the race car forward. As I hav e said many times, the big problem to solve is the Downforce vs. Drag model. Maximum Downforce with the least amount of Drag is the goal. With many features on the Ferrari F2012 race car different in comparison to the other race cars and the fact that Ferrari have taken on an NEW set of problems to solve then in previous years, one has to be positive that Ferrari will have a special race car soon. They are starting with a "More" Complex Race car this year and not one to play "Catch-Up" with to make their inferior design closer to the more extreme designs. They seem to be starting with an equal or "MORE EXTREME" design compared to the other teams this year and Ferrari are back to "Leading the Way in Design" like they did during the Schumacher years. This is excellent to see!
Ciao.
Forza Ferrari!!!!
I am very happy at the end we had 100 laps and i am crying of happiness
some [censored] teams do their fuel cosumpion test and stop the session 10min before the end

Anyone got a source for the FiA putting out a tech directive & changed ECU before Australia?
joseluisf1 translated from another user:
Good discussion going on the throttle map issue. AMuS claims Mercedes presented the case to Whiting about the mapping loophole, though paddock rumors point to Ferrari. Another interesting rumor making the rounds: Lotus pulled out of the practice due to throttle map issues (Maybe uncertain theirs would become illegal? Not really sure what to think of that).
He just tweeted that a prototype of one of the pieces they'll use for the next test is currently banging around the track.
5 mins left of the session...
Felipe back on track...

Given the trackside observations of our car, being 0.5 slower than Red Bull is a bloody good achievement at this stage. They are ahead on set-up work, so by the end of testing we should be even closer to Red Bull. As long as we're close to them, Fernando can do the rest.
Meanwhile, it either says something or just nothing that Alonso, Schumacher and Raikkonen have reputedly spared a F1 podium on five occasions and Fernando has stood on the top step on every occasion. He's F1's first among equals. (PG)
Yes i trust our drivers to do the rest if we are 0.2-0.3s behind Red Bull in the first race.Ofcourse these are just predictions maybe we will gain much more than others after these engine mapping ban.Or even more may occur depending on the potential of the vehicle.Assume that we are behind half a second and then every team will bring major updates to the final tests.We shall see
ٌٌWe did 103 laps run.
Congratulations to all tifosis.

If its true...it could turn tables around..
