so the Ferrari is half a second faster than the Mclaren if there on the same fuel?

jeez.

Maybe. We don't know that for sure. Ferrari could be running slightly less, McLaren could be focusing on different areas...It's impossible to judge.

has anyone got any lap by lap timings?

[vaptin]

Kubcia's on a charge (as Legard would say), but he's stopped out on track.

This is worth checking out if you want to get an idea (albeit a vague one) of what people are doing in regards to fuel. Then if you cross-reference that with the lap times posted in those runs, etc etc...

That was a good read.

People still taking way TOO much from testing times. Don't forget these are basically shakedown tests. Cars running different set-ups, different conditions, different fuel weights. The cars will change a lot from now till Bahrain.

Anyway, video of cars test. Useless, but cool to see more than just pictures.

"WHAT ABOUT ROBERT KUBICA?? WHAT CAN KUBICA DO??? HE JOINS THE BATTLE!!! CAN HE SET THE FASTEST TIME???????? No..."


Barrichello has been doing very long runs again today in the FW32 with the Cosworth still limited whilst they "bed it in". It will be interesting to see what kind of programme they have in store for Hulkenberg tomorrow.

Well LH said the 25 is better than the 24 last year, said they can still improve

But was catious about saying its a title contender.

at the end of the day if what Allen says is correct and there is half a sec in it, we might be able to make inroads to that before March.

See how JB and FA do tommrow.

Hope JB is around or Faster than LH's time.

Are Virgin joining in the tests tomorrow then, or just releasing their car elsewhere?

[iPod]

I think they are releasing it online, and testing at the next set of tests in mid February.

I heard they're going to do the "Greased Lightning" with Branson trying to do his best impersonation of John Travolta.

Yeah, half a second is not a huge deal. McLaren's mighty design department can probably squeeze that down by the end of testing. Possible torpedo on the horizon though - Ferrari's B-Spec, with it's Secret Weapon Diffuser, could be a threat.

True and then there's Alonso's 0.6sec
