Gazzetta dello Sport's analysis of the F2012. Maybe Ecapox can translate?

Wow - quite a flighty tail mid-apex in the second video there.

[AKP]

The rear does slide in the second video. Does the rear wing look a bit open though or is it just another shadow?

[radosav]

it could be a reflection

[amouzouris]

you can also see him trying to correct it many times using opposite lock..the car is very twitchy...

Certainly a big slide there but Alonso is on Hard tyres which could contribute to it not looking great.

[Chuckjr]

But Ferrari did.

Does anyone know if Ferrari will be using the inboard or outboard exhaust system for Oz?

[Mr.G]

The slowmotion videos looks interesting, not from the performance of F2012 (who nows if the tyres are new, heated up, etc.), but from the technical wiev. Do you know if this is common practice by the teams to film the monopost in slow motion for further analyze?

BTW Ferrari should build an underground secret track and start testing in private

That's very odd.

Well, that's one way to get around the testing ban.

Presumably, they could fit all kinds of exhaust solutions to the F10.
Front wing change, floor change, DRS change.. etc.

Of course, they would have no access to Pirelli tyres - but they have stated that their issue is aerodynamic and a lack of overall downforce. I can well imagine that track-testing isolated parts on the F10 is superior to 60% wind tunnel testing on the F2012.

I try to translate

Substantially there's nothing new in this article.
First part: Exhausts
They initially try an extreme solution that needs a bit more development, so they decide to change without project analysis but directly in days of testing, it gives an enormous amount of data. They've not abandoned the first solution and want to improve that because they are convinced that is the better way to set the exhaust.

Second part: Tires
Ferrari has a nervous car, that penalizes the life of tires. Maybe the Scuderia could have a very strong qualifying lap, but has some serious problem on the long run.

Third part:
A positive note is the "strenght" of the car, except some problems the early days they managed to do the equivalent of 16 GP in 12 days.

The rest of the article is about Alonso, Massa and Fry but it is not interesting and is based on personal opinion.

I hope it isn't a horrible translation
