There was smoke coming out the ferrari. Any further information on that or is it not important

No big deal, an overfill or a busted cap somewhere with some oil burning off. The car made it around the lap just fine.

Hopefully we will now get a few drivers going out for hail mary glory laps. I am quite proud of Ferrari today. Looks like they have a good solution and will supply real competition for Merc teams.

Oh, my... !! You called them ""Ferrari""??
And, you said something nice??

p.s. thanks to everyone who posted here today!!

Early days yet, and I know reliability is more important than time but I had a feeling force India would go well this year. Really pleased for Hulkenberg after the times he's been overlooked by 'top' teams.

[Hammer278]

Yeah I really think they will be the second best Merc team out there. McLaren just look like they're showboating more than the others at this stage. If the works team has issues, FI could be fighting for wins. Hope Perez gets a couple this year.

Yes, Seb now has the chance to drag some times out of a dog. To put a car on pole that has no right to be there. To fight tooth and nail for fifteenth place and feel like he's won for doing so. Welcome to the world Seb! Enjoy !.......unless of course the car sorts and is once again a rocket ship, Newey is after all a design genius, and then Seb will just have to settle for romping into the lead and doing the finger again.

I had to check your IP address because for a second there I thought cookin' had hacked into your account.

I think someone did do some hacking in twitter and I changed my password just in case..........then forgot it completely, luckily this time I'd written it somewhere. I would not have a clue how to hack into something

Anyway, back to testing. I'm out all day today, skiing to Italy, so write some good things in here for when I gat back

I'd like to see that!! Might be a few facepalms from the guys at mclaren if that happens

Vettel has done more than 10 laps in just one day.

Maybe if Ferrari started each year at a level their resources should dictate, you might see an annual compliment

The above morning times from Crash.net. Btw according to the same source ... Bernie won his court case.

Hoping the Red Bull is going to be running okay when Daniel gets his go, At least he has the last 2 days of the test and Seb can have the bulk of the problems on the first 2 days i guess
