Do we need a new thread for Mugello? I think not.

You may need to change McLarens as Lewis wants to come to Mugello, expect Jenson to follow suit, though I can still see Paffet and Turvey sharing the first day.

"I need to get back in the car. We need to figure out why the tyres are going off," he said.

"If there are other things to test or ways to figure out I will be the one to do it, not let someone else do it.

"We have a lot of work to do. There is no quick fix. We really have to make some big improvements to the car because the qualifying pace is there but the race pace was miles off."
 
Wonder why Caterham have gone with Gonzalez. Doesn't exactly look top top quality.

In Edd Straw's words...

Thought they'd have gone for Razia on the third day. I think most teams will go for one day for each of their drivers and then a test/reserve driver on the third for equality (Ferrari obviously haven't bothered <laugh>), could mean seeing Buemi back in an F1 car. <diva>

Edit: I think McLaren will probably end up going for Paffett, Hamilton and Button. Unless Button decides he doesn't want to, Hamilton sounds pretty up for it.

Where's that from, tomcat?
 
They might have a mistake in the table though regarding Mercedes. In the text they talk about Schumacher driving the last day and show otherwise in the table. No clue whats right. We will soon find out i guess.
 
Now why would sauber only give Perez 1 day of testing, yet Kamui 2, unless they believe Perez won't be there much longer...
