Ferrari F2012

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

Sorry if this may sound a bit naive, but what exactly are pontoons and what do you mean by flat base? :)

pontoons are sidepods flat base is the floor!

The exhaust we can see in the video was not the original one, it definitely looks like it´s the version that blows the rear wing.

Or possibly blowing the brake ducts/beam wing. Hard to exactly pinpoint the angle of attack from these images.

Spanish Diario AS talks about Ferrari showing a new exhaust configuration to seal the diffuser by using the coanda effect but in a configuration different to Mc, RB or Sauber...

Very interesting. Do these "slots" sound to anyone else like the evolution of this exhaust placement that scarbs was suggesting? (will try to find the link)

The Acer Ducts in the video are the same that have been on the car since launch. Ferrari aren't going to put anything new on the car so the press can do what you are seeing, get video of the new parts.
After each GP the cars are broken down & examined then put back together. Anyhow scrutineering is today and Ferrari aren't going to slap on the new parts ahead of that process.

My bad, i thought people were talking about the exhaust, not the exhaust housing.

I doubt the new parts are even in Montmelo. I would think they will arrive later today. The pictures you see are generic in what they mean as far as different configurations. The cars must go through scrutineering today so no new parts will be on the cars. At least not any we can see. We won't see any new parts until tomorrow in FP1.
