Np.
And I was comparing the one they used today to this:
Atleast the one from today have some shape..
Kimi, so, Massa Fernando Sebastian is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?

The t-cam extension is just a pitot tube I imagine for measuring air pressures and velocitys, its high up because they have to work in laminar flow and out of the boundary layer, thats why on aircraft they stick quite far out sometimes.
"Trulli was slowing down like he wanted to have a picnic" LOL

at least they could just put the anvil wing and make it moveable behind the #2 Ferrari rearwing, so that he could navigate in heavy wet races... haha.
Ferrari will race with the ‘shark fin’ engine cover on its F2008 for the first time in this weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix – while it has also revealed the reason for its Hockenheim struggle.
The world champions became the latest team to try out the Red Bull-inspired extension at last week’s Jerez test, with it featuring on Felipe Massa’s car in the afternoon on Friday’s final day.
And the team has confirmed that it will run with the aero component, which improves air flow to the rear wing and helps braking stability, at the Hungaroring this week after positive feedback from its driver.
“Tomorrow, Luca Badoer will carry out a shakedown at Fiorano of the cars that will be used in Budapest,” it said in a preview.
“For the first time on a race weekend, the F2008 will be fitted with, amongst other new components, the ‘anvil’ engine cover, after Massa felt in Jerez that it brought some benefits.”
Ferrari’s main aim at last week’s pre-race test was to establish the reason for its poor pace at the previous round in Germany, where it was no match for Lewis Hamilton’s McLaren and finished third and sixth.
The team says its investigation involved a thorough data analysis, including comparison work on set-up and aero and mechanical parts at both the track and its Maranello factory.
It has now revealed that those tests concluded that the F2008’s German GP struggle had come about as a result of “tyre-related” issues on the particular day of the race, rather than a direct problem with the car's pace.
“The synthesis of those investigations is that in Hockenheim, it was not the car itself that had something wrong with it, in that the package was not worse than the previous one," it said.
"The major difference was tyre related and for a variety of reasons, Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa were unable to get the best out of the tyres during Sunday's race, even if there had been little sign of this difficulty over the previous two days of practice and qualifying,” he said.
