Also, anyone want to tell me why testing isn't broadcast?

[Stealthgate007]

Especially for Vaptin and Nish, they seemed to suspicious of my words.

Im pretty sure given the lack of posts about it that its now just a piece of measuring equipment, but what is it?

Heidfeld goes quickest.http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/89447

But, I'd expect him to be going for speed given that he wants a seat. Or has that been confirmed by now?

Yes thats what I thought. Everyone else may be on a testing programme but he's gonnna be hell bent on looking fast. Can't say I blame him.

Yep, clicked on the link, no idea what I was looking at but thanks for posting.

[What's Burning?]

Those are just wingtip vortices not exhaust.

At the end of the day, he'd still have to run the programme that was set out by the team. His fast time was set on a similar run to the one that Kubica did last week, so I think it's fair to say that the pace is quite genuine with the Renault. It's a shame that the red flags came out towards the end of the session because I was really looking forward to seeing what he could do on the 25 lap run.

Haha dont worry, i wasnt suspicious, just bored and interested to see some pictures of a cool exhaust system.

I dont think that is an exhaust system though, seems like its just releasing some sort of vapor to show the vortices forming from the wing. Similar to the green flow wiz liquid that we see.

EDIT: A picture of the Mclaren exhausts. This might not be the final position of the exhausts but it was the position that they were running them yesterday.

am i missing something, im talking about that black pylon that ive never seen before going straight up thrpugh the rear wing, not the pretty clouds.

[racechick]

It said in Autosport that they have an innovative exhaust system but its not the same as Renault.
