i dnt think ferrari will be happy about this and looking at the situation as of now , it will make sense for alonso to move on to mclaren . Last four years no titles , only false promises and ongoing restructuring. stefano has screwed up completely. even if its a bluff , its an interesting one because fernando is good for development and he will carry detailed info about ferrari engine to Honda.

In the past four years, Mclaren have not been in a position to win the title come the end of the year, this in despite the fact the 2012 car was best car and it was only poor reliability and operational errors that stopped Hamilton from winning the title.

Wasn't Hamilton mathematically in the running for the title in 2010 but needed the other 3 guys to all fail to score while he won the race or something??

Yes. 24 points behind before the race.

That was really a great one. I've done similar stuff with Maurizio Bollini, ex-Ferrari team member, a while ago.

In the meantime I've got confirmation from Ferrari's head of communication, Renato, that we are going to have more details on the wind tunnel upgrades next week, Tuesday.

Thanks Kiril, for your research and sharing here. I'm reading/watching fwiw.

Fabio Montecchi is leading the 2014 project for now. Almost all resources are concentrated at 2014.

Nick Tombazis shares on the wind tunnel that the flow quality wasn't good, i.e. the flow wasn't as unified as it should be.

It is not mentioned in the video. but I'm also hearing that the new wind tunnel features PIV technology and moving walls*.

does Toyota WT Ferrari used this year has PIV and moving floor?

Just follow the link on PIV technology

You mean moving walls, don't you?

Awww ... Well, if I was Duke Nukem, I'd say: "Walls, floor, what's the difference"
Thanks for the correction, small but important, it's walls.

To elaborate further on why this is important: the moving walls provide the ability to flex and adapt themselves in order not to restrain the freestream air. Or at least that's the information I've got a while ago from http://www.dnw.aero
