If all top racing teams plus numbers of F1 teams trust Windshear facility and only 1 doesnt then perhaps we know who need to recheck his/her understanding. Lets move on gents.

Do any of the Ferrari F1 team experts in this forum know if Ferrari is developing any sort of gizmo on the front wing/rear wing like the Merc?

Most people on this forum that "actually" have intimate knowledge of the cars development or know new information cannot post even if they wanted to due to a "condfidentiality agreement/clause" as its a condition of employment.

So all you'll get is leaked information.

However you wouldn't rule them out working on some new components for the Spanish GP...

What happened to the forum's stricter moderation policy, this thread has been hi-jacked by an argumentative and abrasive
member who has taken it way off topic for pages now, stricter policy fine, but can we please have some consistency?

OT, if Ferrari are indeed testing an F2012-B, it's probably not a new tub, time too short for that, but they might have modified
an xisting one for different xhaust and push-rods, who knows, they might have designed it for the latter to begin with?

one can only wish theyd run that

Holy crap, that looks good.

I´ve always wondered when they were going back to the red and black livery, the cars looked absolutely best back then.

And then some proper gold rims, not a gold sticker this time.

I'm firmly convinced that Schumacher's wardrobe selections are either the result of a lost bet with God or are part of the "crossroads" price he's paying for his success. I've never seen someone so atrociously attired.

But, the livery of the W03 looks great. It's fantastic.

I doubt if Robert Johnson had agreed with wearing what MS is?

Several hundred million dollars for the top organizations. Source. Plus they don't have to expend a ton of money with global travel, as is the case in F1. So let's dispense with the BS that there's no money or that it's inconceivable that a 100% facility in the US could meet the needs of professional race teams.

Back to the topic at hand. You will not see a push-rod arrangement on the front of the Ferrari any time soon. For one, I just don't see it as an issue. Two - even if they wanted to, as Lycoming says... the hardpoints and component layouts are totally different. You'd need a new tub.

Most of this has been split from the f2012 thread.

If some posts were moved in error, report them and I will move them back.

If they are here because they were off topic in the F2012 car thread, they are also here. That includes liveries and 'oh cool made up fake livery' posts.

This utterly OT WT thread has turned into a Monty Python skit. Take it off line guys.

I think it's because the nose seems overly wide.
