Oh and Bernie, National flags should be raised not flipped. Sort it!

I hope that Williams is as fast as it looks.

Where is the step nose on the Williams and Ferrari? Even using a modesty panel it's not clear to me that there is a big step in the nose.

God that Mercedes livery is soooo boring!

Interesting. Different implementation of what Caterham was trying to do in Jerez. Has the legality of this been questioned by anyone yet?

Vettel's done a very quick time.

Would you really expect anything else.

Nah, that is still not the pace we are going to see. Not even close.
Almost entire paddock to go quicker than that time is what I expect.
Last year it was 1:20.xxx IIRC. So this year they should at least match or surpass that here.

I guess they all (maybe expect Caterham and Marussia) should be able to run at least 2 seconds faster.

Apparently there is a little gap in the bridge which might make it legal. Sometimes it can be so simple to get around the rules...

http://t.co/0LdNTc8M

Confirmed. http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/105616

Williams exhaust coming into question, the thing with this is it is very easy to copy and get working so if its legal, it will only be 1 race or even before that before other teams have adopted it - thats if its of a major benefit

Of course this years hard compound could be equivalent to last years soft but...

we'll have to keep an eye on that ... i don't know the exact wording of the technical directive but the FIA last year made something clear:

so whether it is one device or two devices redirecting the exhaust plume seems irrelevant... FIA can still update the technical directive and teams will hop on the protest-train at oz...

quite often though a Championship official partner or sponsor will have it that competitors can't be shown. Look at the RWC for an example when one of the Tuilagi brothers got a fine for having the wrong logo on a gum shield because a rival was an official partner of the championship. Or some of Ulsters sponsor logos can't be shown in the Heiniken cup. In those cases the Ruling body can indeed say what the teams can or cannot show.

Heck only have to look at the Olympics for an extreme example of how an Official partner can not just dictate to entrants but also to spectators.

Other watch brands in F1 IIRC precede the Rolex deal so for obvious reasons the teams cannot be asked to terminate the deal overnight how ever the official partner can stop new brands from joining the party.

I dunno the time line of the DHL and Fed-Ex deals if DHL came after Fed-ex went.

It could be a case however that because it's testing the usual rules do not apply and the logo won't be on when they hit Melbourne

"I thought I'd get your theories, mock them, then embrace my own. The usual."

Nah, having shown it already, the other teams will ask Charlie Whiting for clarification and he'll let all teams know whether he thinks it is legal or not. Obviously not a definitive ruling as it's not until the first race when the FIA scrutineers will make full judgement, but if Charlie says "I think that's not legal because of X" it will not be used. or he'll say "I think that is legal" in which case most teams will have it in Melbourne...

First Barcelona test in 2012: fastest time on the first day: 1:23.265. Fastest time of the four days: 1:22.312.

If the FIA has to change/update any directive then it's very, very relevant. Williams has found a way around the initial wording in the rules.

Kimi now 0.08 behind vettel

wow rosberg hasnt been out for ages, i gotta feeling Merc are about to put out one of the innovations they talked about last test and it takes some serious setup time

Either that or they've got some serious issues...

Its been almost 4 hours since Rosberg was last on track.

Mercedes Removing the gearbox for something apparently:

Maybe tomorrow they'll put hamilton out in the top gear car, at least it works

Findus lasagne for lunch Nico?

Yep you can't beat reasonably priced cars

Well there was rumours that the missing horse Shergar was found at the factory to which they responded, Findus keepers

He is back on track now

What did the horse in the lasagne say to the other horse in the Lasagne?

"I bet nobody'll Findus in here!"

There's nothing wrong with eating horse meat you know. It just isn't a common thing in the UK. It's not like the testing is taking place in the UK anyway.

Anyway back to the cars that definitely have horse power in them...

EDIT: Hold on does that mean Nico is going to be powered by horses in a car powered by horses after lunch? Horses.

Yes of course horse meat is very healthy, arguable that it's healthier than beef. The issue that it came from Romania, more than anything! Who knows what witchcraft has been done to the Lasagne.

I think it might have something to do with trade description

so the Ferrari and Mclaren doing a long run together at moment, anyone know what tyres their on ?

I don't know but Perez's laptimes are very consistent. If that's on the soft then we're all buggered.
