lol, who needs all this pre-season testing stuff anyway when they can set the car up in one day.
[quote="Gilles 27"] Massa will have got the car set up the first afternoon you have to assume,
I wouldn't normally draw any conclusions from testing tbh but i thought the immediacy with which Alonso eclipsed Massa best time of the previous two days at Valencia was quite remarkable. Massa will have got the car set up the first afternoon you have to assume, and while he may not have set his fastest lap on a low fuel run, it would seem unlikely that he had more than 20 laps of fuel in the car. Alonso was faster than Massa before lunchtime on his first day in the car, using Massa's setup and in fact his first Massa beating time came in the middle of 30 lap run, so with at least 15 laps of fuel onboard. He then proceded to go even faster in the afternoon, presumably once he had set up the car to his liking rather than Massa's
each day with more rubber on the track times are bound to come down. I wouldnt read anything what so ever into the Valencia times by Massa and Alonso to see who is faster.
For the record I was making an attempt to show sarcasm.

Right. I've said a few times, it doesn't really matter which of the two is 'actually' faster... All that matters is that Alonso has been able to reasonably match Massa on his first drive of the car. In a brand new car, brand new team...... That's impressive.

In the first drive EVER in said car??
That's impressive, no matter what's expected of him.
BTW he's hired and is expected to win the championship. And even if he does win it, it will be impressive. Wouldn't you agree?
