Ferrari's "promotional video" of Alonso lapping Fiorano

[keshy]

Remember Ferrari's controversial test which they claimed was for "promotional purposes"? Well here's the video of Alonso taking us viewers around the Fiorano track in the revised Ferrari F10. It's pretty obvious that it was a test lap, Fiorano has been introduced time and time over but Fernando has never driven at Fiorano before. It's still a controversy and it's pretty obvious that Ferrari took advantage of a loophole in the regulations to gain advantage. Well, whatever the case, here's Fernando Alonso introducing the Fiorano test track.

To add a few info:

Many of us know that Ferrari will bring their major updates in their car which is the blown-rear wing exhaust in Valencia last week. So before the GP weekend, Ferrari have this event and many teams complain that they make use of this opportunity to test their car, which is if I remember correctly is 100 km mileage. That may sound little, but since testing is prohibited nowadays, every kilometer counts and provides useful data.

This blown rear wing exhaust is a design started by Red Bull, which many teams are trying to copy as fast as possible. McLaren couldn't make it at Valencia but they will bring their own version in Silverstone in 2 weeks time. The design is to channel the airflow from the rear low end of the exhaust to the wing to reduce drag.
