More upright. Sorry I wasn't very clear 
Excellent, I'm 6'2" - So I can actually look down on Alonso, literally!
6 inches makes all the difference!
You mean 8 inches..
Since there are 12 inches in 1 foot
Looks sick!

According to a report in Italian newspaper on Thursday and Friday, the Ferrari will be evaluating various technical solutions for the implementation of the 'RED'. The functioning of tires, the possible disposal of the steps in its beak, and height loss in the F2012 chassis have also been speculated by 'La Stampa'.
Hmm, it would seem that the design isn't working as well as they thought it would.

Seems they have several solutions for just about everything on the car. Exhaust blowing is another thing.
Seems like the car is more of a swizz knife then a butterknife with it´s relatively short operational window.
I´m sure that when they get the final package it will be Top 3 at the very least.
I think RBR and Mclaren will be the two main characters in the 2012 season. Ferrari jumping on the train when they getting to Europe again.

Some of the things Ferrari has done aero wise looks a bit iffy
It´s taken them days to move the exhaust bit by bit while other teams like RBR just pops out with a completely new setup that they know is 99% sure will work.
It looks like they have no idea what they are doing so they are just trying everything at the moment.

One thought around why this is, is that after 2010 ( a year the car was good aero wise and updates worked)
was that they upgraded their wind tunnel to 60%, this apparently caused massive problems, so they went to Toyota to borrow their´s.
Now they claim they have fixed that issue after re-building the windtunnel slightly. (i think)
I think the problem is correllation between real world/simulator/wind tunnel.
If they don´t work together it means everything you put on the car has to be tested in real life to confirm further.
And when it doesn´t work you have to change things in real life and do test after test until you find the sweet spot.
Time to destroy the old windtunnel and invest in a state of the art one like Sauber´s or Toyota´s.

Still the best looking livery on the grid though Would have loved to see the RB6 but in full Rosso Scuderia color
