Getting snogged and he still doesn't smile!

I reckon Alonso's reputation could well go further down the drain this season if his bad attitude keeps up with him, next he'll be kicking a fuss over the taste of the Champagne or the shade of orange the (sickly) ING logo is.

Trulli quickest on final day at Barcelona

By Jonathan Noble Wednesday, February 27th 2008, 16:31 GMT

Jarno Trulli at BarcelonaJarno Trulli finished Formula One's pre-season testing with the fastest time at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona on Wednesday.

The Italian, whose Toyota team appeared to have made big progress over the winter break, set a best lap that was four tenths of a second ahead of Red Bull Racing's David Coulthard - although both men were likely to have been running in qualifying simulation mode.

Trulli's day was not without incident, however, as he stopped on track at 4.32pm to bring out the final of seven red flags that were needed over the course of the day.

"That was another positive day," said Trulli. "We made some progress in understanding the car and the set-up. Even though this is only a test, it's nice to see the mechanics and the guys smiling because today's times are good motivation.

"There is still room for improvement but this shows the team has done a good job over the winter tests. Of course we won't know the real running order until Melbourne but I'm quite confident for the season. It's definitely looking much better than last year so I'm happy for the team."

Nico Rosberg maintained Williams's strong and steady testing showing with the third best time, ahead of Heikki Kovalainen and Mark Webber.

Nelson Piquet Jr. just edged out Renault teammate Fernando Alonso for the sixth best time, ahead of Kazuki Nakajima in the Williams and Kimi Raikkonen in the Ferrari.

Lewis Hamilton, who brought out the first red flag of the day when he stopped at the end of the pitlane at 9.25am, was 10th fastest, ahead of Timo Glock, who caused two stoppages during the day.

Glock stopped at Turn 11 at 9.50am with a mechanical problem, and then went off at 12.29pm when he crashed and touched the tyre wall at Turn 8.

Giancarlo Fisichella maintained the encouraging start for Force India's new car to set the 12th best time, with Felipe Massa 13th overall as he spent the day running through engine mileage.

Robert Kubica was the fastest BMW Sauber runner in 14th, with teammate Nick Heidfeld 17th - having stopped with gearbox problems at Turn 10 in the morning and then causing another stoppage at 3.43pm.

The other red flag was caused by Sebastien Bourdais, who spun at Turn 1 at 3.01pm.

Honda duo Jenson Button and Alex Wurz finished the day at the bottom of the timesheets, with both men likely hoping that new aerodynamic parts due to be tried out in their private test at Jerez next week will help lift the performance of the RA108.

All Timing Unofficial

Interestingly Autosport don't mention the part of the interview which some other sites did about Trulli admitting there was next to know fuel in the car...

Agreed and it make's me wonder why this topic has taken up 5 page's ?

sounds all too familiar

[al4x]

i originally only only expected about a page, it ws just for people to see the times in one place here, but it runs

[7UpJordan]

Trulli's still got that Senna-esque qualifying pace (especially as he had next-to-nothing in his fuel tank) but in race trim he's probably now slower than infamous pay-drivers.

[Denthúl]

Well, those times show promise for both Red Bull and Williams, at least. I now can't wait for Melbourne - I think it will be a really great race with a lot of overtaking going on. The results, I hope, will be unexpected to a certain extent.

[Jensonb]

This could be interesting, some of these teams are going up and down the sheets a bit more than I expected. Could prove to be a pretty unpredictable year.

[Denthúl]

Definitely unpredictable. And that is what makes F1 great. It would be nice to see Williams and Red Bull do really well this season, because they have good drivers and are definitely committed to getting to the top of the field. It would be nice to see DC winning a few more races, and also nice to see if Rosberg and Webber are championship material or not.
