Those vortices sounds good to my eyes... Ferrari just couldn't express it's true power cause of a simple lack of organization and fear to innovate. They focused on their "old" exhaust system again while it's obvious the RB style one was the right way to go... Just look those last races and what the c32 did ... sauber got it over Alonso's f138 too
They had so much potential on the paper this year ... with it's amazingly tight rear end in the gearbox area (probably the tightest) they should have marry the RB sidepods+exhaust solution since the start of the season like Sauber perfectly did in last races
Imagine the F138 using something like this taking in consideration how much better this could be evolved thanks to much more space in the f138 read end

Look at the T-tray: there is a measuring device like Austin

Regarding the outer walls of the F138 diffuser:

More images of the outer walls with the metallic-like finish this weekend. Can anyone clarify if it is a rapid prototype or a coating such a Zircotec?

Interesting, they still put on those modified deflectors, wonder if they try then in practices. Maybe it's a part of a program to verify their tunnel/CFD data?

Looks like Ferrari have mounted a thermal imaging camera in the Sidepod Airflow Conditioner like Toro Rosso did a few races back to look at the rear of the tyre. I imagine they were hoping for some dry running (like the others) during Friday to test the 2014 dev tyres

But Ferrari had that camera for quite some time now (don't know if it was used every race weekend), only that was in a slightly different position due to the different turning vane.

Here are a couple of pictures from March.
