They got alot of work to be done on this car

the exhausts are being reported as illegal. While the other cars revealed so far have inboard exhaust pipes, the Ferrari's protrude from the bodywork in contravention of new aerodynamic regulations. On top of that, Ferrari seems to be having trouble with its new jumbo front wing.

Hmmm now who was the smart guy thinking he could get away with such an offense? I hardly believe they forgot or overlooked.

Well, during unofficial, pre-season testing, teams can experiment with whatever ideas and solutions they like. No one can say that the exhaust that Ferrari is using now has anything to do with what the cars will end up using when the season starts.

The uproar that this issue has caused after only two days and about 95 laps of testing in the rain at Mugello is rather amusing.
