Ferrari 150° Italia - modified engine cover

With just a week between the Spanish and Monaco rounds, it was a surprise to see a new engine cover on the Ferrari in Monte Carlo (smain picture), but a closer inspection reveals it isn't an entirely new solution. The Italian team developed and built the engine cover for the Malaysian event back in April, but didn't run it in the Sepang race because the weather conditions rendered it unnecessary. The large hole at the back (left-hand inset) through which hot air is directed out allows a glimpse of the car's rear suspension. Although similar to the Red Bull, this solution is a lot less clean than the one on the RB7.
