Now things start getting interesting!

 

[Forza Bianchi]

I don't have the time to find the two links but McLaren and Ferrari have identical schedules for the three tests. Massa and Button are always testing on the same day, as are Alonso and Hamilton. Should be interesting.

Is the next launch tomorrow or Monday?

 

[BrightLampShade]

Monday I think, lotus?

Lotus tomorrow. Red Bull, Toro Rosso and Sauber on Monday.

 

[EternalMSC]

Top class thread, thanks for this Lewis
Put the FI pic up in the main post btw
Keep adding as we go along pal.

 

[Eat Sleep Watch F1 Repeat]

Will add Red Bull and Lotus when released.

 

[El_Bando]

will you add a thumbnail of the caterham and FI?

 

[Sportydan]

Good thread you got started here Lewis,

Hard to believe were back testing again, its gonna be hard to read too much into it but it will be something to feed our hunger.

 

[EternalMSC]

Will add Red Bull and Lotus when released.

Nice one now I have an all round look of the cars this season, cheers mate.

 

[Eat Sleep Watch F1 Repeat]

It starts tommorow! I'm actually excited .

 

[TomTom94]

So excited! I reckon that Williams and Sauber might flatter to deceive and the Lotus will be slower than expected.
Caterham to be half a second off the pace of Toro Rosso and Ferrari to draw first blood in the fight at the front.

 

[Eat Sleep Watch F1 Repeat]

Mclaren will top the timesheets by half a second.










I can dream.

 

[El_Bando]

Lets make this official.

-Stick-

 

[genjigonzales]

Mclaren will top the timesheets by half a second.

On that note, though, if McLaren's now apparently radical interpretation of the nose regulations coupled with a not-too-detrimental effect from their massive rear wing did give them a Brawnlike advantage, would any McLaren fans want to see them dominate 2012 the way Red Bull dominated 2011?

I consider myself a McLaren fan but I'd prefer to see a season comprised of at least the top three teams battling for victories and ultimately sharing the spoils relatively equally. It'd be even better if Renault and Mercedes were strong enough to spoil the party now and then.

I would love a season of Domination from Mclaren. It would give us a chance to see how good Vettel is, he has great ability with the fastest car but if he had the 2nd or 3rd fastest it would be interesting to see how he copes.

For that reason I would tolerate a season of McLaren dominance.

What I really want is a 2010-like season every year though.
