Wahoooooooo the McLaren is flying round two seconds a lap quicker.........Oops sorry got a bit carried away there .

I really should make an effort to grow up at 37 years old, but just don't seem to be able to find the time to do so .

Growing up is overrated

sadly we can't draw too much from the first set of testing, although after it somebody will end up worried.

Yes we can.

Come on, skeptics were saying that last year when McLaren had no pace and Red Bull were going quick guns in the first test.

I'm hoping that the Red Bull will be up there, to keep the rivalry happening between my 2 favourite sons, Hamilton and Vettel.

I don't think you can put too much on the first tests, but last year certainly showed a trend that continued through the season.

You could do 1000 laps in 3 days across two cars, set the fastest time, but its only one lap. There's 19 races of ~60 laps that will truly show the car's pace.

Paffet currently fastest on a 1:14.359 with De la Rosa behind on 1:14.898. It has begun.

Edit: For anyone who wants the times, I'm getting them here: http://directo.thef1.es/tests/

Thanks for the link,

Cool massa second.

Yeah you can't read too much into the first test, but I think collating the times for the next three days should give us some useful info.

f1.com have pics up - but no times.

Massas gone fastest!!!

bbc have a feed: http://twitter.com/sarahholtf1 - maybe their not doing timings though.

1:13.552 is Massa's latest time, putting him fastest and nearly half a second ahead of Gary Paffet's 1:14.018.

Lots of teams are already running new parts it seems (compared to the launch cars). Renault have a completely different front wing.

Here's the Sauber diffuser too:

I'm looking for a diffuser pick.
