He added that any predictions ahead of Melbourne were pointless.

"At the moment the conclusions are zero - super-zero," Alonso said. "Hopefully we will not be seventh and everything else is guesswork. It is assumed that Red Bull will not be stuck in Q2 and that McLaren and Mercedes will not be far away, but these are only assumptions. Testing in Barcelona for us ended better than it started, but it's not as though we were in a tunnel and now we see the light. Our team is working hard and well."



Super-zero Does he know what 'super' actually means? [from Latin super: above]

Zero or maximum, for super sure.

I just read that article....if there is a sound of a worried guy, that is it. He's already writing off chances for the first three races, when Ferraris mantra throughout last season was to 'Be in position to win from Race 1 in 2012'. Lol

There are occasions when Fernando Alonso actually does talk sense. It's usually displayed in his playing down of the importance of pre-season testing times.

Take last year for example. While everyone else was slating McLaren, Alonso stated that anyone who writes the team off is a fool. In saying this, he elevated himself onto a pillar of wisdom. For a short while, at least.

I bet he said that while still expecting them to be sh*t at Melbourne...and then started crying inside when Qualifying was over.

It remains to be seen if Ferrari are playing games and trying to lull the opposistion into a false sense of security. They do seem to be going over the top in telling us how bad their car is which makes me suspicious.

[What's Burning?]

Pirelli likes all this Zero talk.

What does he mean by ''zero'',so they didn't come to any conclusions

He means he has no idea where the teams performance rankings are.

Alonso is blowing so much smoke up our , it would be downright dangerous to wear golf knickers.

Well it's no secret that Ferrari have been caught a bit flat-footed at the moment.

As for super-zero, it's a great phrase. I like it. May even possibly steal it, who knows?

It's kinda like 'Infinity, and beyond' just the other way.

Is Ferrari the only team to run the Pirelli P Super Zero tires?
