the only conspiracy is why lewis hasnt sacked his race engineer.

I for one would like to see him have Rob Smedly (massa's race engineer), Imagine how happy lewis's pace would make him

Yes, but for the sake of clarity, Smedly would have to come over to McLaren, not Lewis going to Ferrari. Cuz if Lewis went to Ferrari, I would have to go with him and I really don't want to go to the dark side.

I'm just saying...

Not much of a fan then.

If Lewis drove for Marussia I'd still support him as much as I support him where he currently is at McLaren.

Yes! With you all the way. Smedly would have to come hither.
Hammer, agree, not impresed with lewis' engineer at all. Annonymous nerd.

But your right ascomisipo (sorry I think that names wrong )

A little bit of good/confirmation news that Ferrari are on the right track with their work on the F2012 updates. It's no secret our biggest problem has been traction out of low speed corners. Sector 3 at Barcelona is a very good test of this aspect of a car. It is really pleasing to see us looking much better in comparison in that sector.

These times also confirm how fast the Lotus really is and what a good job Grosjean did.

Why did you have to edit one word twice? Did you get it wrong too?

No, I thought what I wrote sounded arsey so I edited it back. I managed to get this hippo chaps name right at the first attempt.

Are these times from the race?

[acosmichippo]

must be the mugello testing.

[racechick]

Cant be Mugello because Button's name is on the first sector times and he wasnt there.
So was it the Sanish GP? I cant see hamilton on any of those lists yet he had pole by half a second and went from 24th to 8th. Im confused

[bud]

Its Barcelona but not sure what session. Assuming that its from the race. Hamiltons lap times wouldn't have been that good on old tyres but would have been consistent enough to move him up places when others pitted.

[racechick]

Ok. that would make sense if the times were taken towards the end when his 3rd set of tyres were getting worn.......but then I see Rosberg's name high up and he was falling backwards But maybe only at the very end. Those charts must surely change considerably depending when in the race, or session, they were taken.

[bud]

these are best overall sector times from the race so could have happened on the first lap or last, what they did on every other lap is what matters.

[racechick]

I see. Thanks
