    I still hate the wide front wings that all the cars are forced to use these days, they're all ugly.

    I don't think this has been posted, quite interesting, especially if you can read spanish! http://www.marca.com/2011/01/28/multimedia/graficos/1296222999.html

    If you can't, I'm not sure if you can run it through google translator, but the images themselves are interesting. Use the red slider to compare the 2010 and 2011 cars (not on first view)

    According to FA's twitter (A reliable source who has information close to Ferrari), Fernando Alonso was 1 second faster than Massa in the F150.

    He also tipped people off about Ferrari passing the FIA crash test last year a few days before the Italian Media reported it.

    Thank you for posting this, what an incredible tool!

    I'm currently studying all the intricate differences between the two cars, I must say the 2011 side pods look much better than last years. Looking back now, the F10 curves are quite ugly. The F150 is definitely a better looking car.

    A more important issue for the 29-year-old is the seating position of the new F150 car due to the higher nose.

    Both Alonso and his shorter teammate Felipe Massa appeared to be straining over the cockpit to see the corners when they tried the car for the first time at Fiorano.

    "We've had to change it (the seating position) as visibility could be a problem," said Alonso before the maiden test.

    Wow....so this is alonso's new pram?

    Apparently theres a glove compartment which holds a baby rattle and a couple of spare pairs of pampers.
    But rumour has it that ferrari are redesigning the glove compartment so it will hold some spare dummies inside...with a 'break glass for emergencies'.

    The Ferrari has been able to complete the most laps.

    This proves that the Ferrari has excelled in tyre management and reliability.

    Haven't they already said they have done their race length practice runs and now concentrating on what other teams are doing now, as in aero and setups tests?
