    does anyone know what this thing is mounted on the ceiling of f12? I thought it was light but I haven't noticed it come on. upon closer look, it looks like a camera but no display or anything. what is this thing?

    Did you buy the car new? Looks like a camera perhaps a track recording option.

    Looks like the Ferrari telemetry camera.

    Put a piece of tape over it and see what stops working. If nothing, leave tape in place. :D

    i have it in my car and this is the telemetry , you should have an other camera in front of the car as well.

    It films you in the cockpit and your behaviour in the car/with the car on the track and collects all relevant data so that you can later completely analyze every corner, etc.
