With Ferrari joining its frontrunning rivals in experimenting with design concepts it hopes to incorporate onto its 2012 challenger, the Italian team’s new front wing has attracted plenty of attention in the paddock at the Buddh International Circuit…

Funnily enough, the front wing Massa ran after that point scarcely seemed to flex at all…
