Muy interesante truzone. ¡¡¡Gran aporte!!!!!
Lo que dejan muy claro es que hasta Barcelona las mejoras no serán muy grandes (sólo actualizaciones) y lo que buscan es aumentar velocidad punta y traccion en curvas lentas. Además... le pese a quien le pese.... Alonso y Massa tienen exactamente el mismo coche....
Powered by ALONSO

que bueno en la pregunta del rumor de que massa correria con un coche experimental y no tan solo lo desmienten sino que dicen que el viernes incluso alonso va con más cosas para testear. desmiente las push road, el chasis nuevo, confirma que no tuvo telemetria durante la carrera, que no es una prioridad el f-duct de mercedes (cosa que veo muy bien), que para ellos seguro que esta en el top 10 de los mejores pilotos de la historia (vaya novedad..).

A mi la que mas me ha gustado es la respuesta al que pregunta por las ordenes a Perez en Malasia xD "This is one of the biggest bullshit of the last few years.... " "Esta una de las mayores chorradas de los ultimos años..." xD

Bien, es interesante ver las respuestas. pero como siempre en temas técnicos y de innovación, el silencio. Pero me parece bien, andaremos y veremos.
Responder

Me parece un aporte buenisimo!!! Y muy definitorio de los que podemos creernos y que no.

Lo unico en que no se deja claro es que es exactamente la evolucion de china y españa. No obstante deja claro que no chasis nuevo, no coche nuevo, No F duct, de momento.

Para mi la pregunta mas interesante es la que le preguntan si va a copiar a mclaren en la soluicon de escapes... y contesta que "el tiempo lo dirá" ..... interesante.

Me encanta la estrategia de Comunicación de Ferrari este año.

En todos los aspectos donde pueden ser transparentes, lo son.
TOMA, TOMAAA, TOMAAAAAA!!!!!

Me he quedado en la primera frase, en la que admite que tienen problemas también en el túnel de viento, pero que no son los más graves, o sea, después de todo un año, siguen sin solventarlos.

En fin, a lo mejor al año que viene los solucionan.

Saludos.
Responder

Lo que dice sobre el tunel es todo lo contrario es que la correlacion es buena y que ese aspecto no esta entre los problemas.

Para quien le interese:

Jonathan Noble dice en Autosport Plus que el F2012 llevará para el GP de España nuevos pontones, radiadores y carrocería en la zona trasera.
