Ferrari 2012 wing tested in Korea

Even with their new front wing Ferrari was still on row 3 in qualifying. Back to the drawing board.

Ferrari technical director Pat Fry confirmed that the new front wing used by the team during Korean Grand Prix qualifying is part of their development program for the 2012 car designated internally at Maranello as the 663.

Fry said after qualifying at Yeongam, “We brought a new front wing here, which will serve as the basis for the development of next year’s car: yesterday we tried it in the wet and today we decided to continue with our learning phase, running it in qualifying, which means also using it in the race."

He added, “I’ve been saying it for a few races now, we must exploit this last part of the season by trying to learn something useful for next year and the decision to run this wing was taken with that in mind."
