Brakes have also been reworked upon and now the car will have improved braking, thanks to the new front and rear brake air intakes. This year FIA mandates no increase in performance and thus all the race cars, including Ferrari F2012, will neither have more power nor more torque. But at the same time FIA’s new rules mandate for a new engine management system for improving scavenging of exhaust gases.
