2013 pre-season testing

[EternalMSC]

Suspension failure apparently.

Or Chiltons push for lap times broke the suspension...

 

[Forza Bianchi]

Issue with the rear suspension, lol.

 

[Delete Me]

Webber!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pfff like hell it was, he was pushing for time and he went wide on the grass, broke the suspension himself and flew into the gravel. Marussia will defend little Max all the way through the season to take the pressure off him being disliked for being a pay driver.

 

[Eat Sleep Watch F1 Repeat]

There is quite a drop off between lap 1 and 2. Some drivers losing a few tenths on their second run.

 

[EternalMSC]

Webber!!!!!!!!!!!!

I knew you would have a crisis

Don't hold back silver, stop talking in code, tell us what you really think

I'm (trying) to keep an open mind about Chilton till I've seem him race... ambitious I know.

Huge degradation on Massa's recent stint:

1:20.536
1:21.583
1:21.894
1:22.117
1:22.454
1:22.446
1:22.924
1:46.831

Webbers time set on the Medium.

 

[BrightLampShade]

Both Button and Webber set their fast times on medium tyres.

The temperatures have gone up this afternoon so we have seen more of the hard and soft tyres, i.e. the higher working range compounds

and here, have some more pics

Deg for Jenson looks about 0.3 a lap here with the medium.

Qualifying though the RB9 looks alot faster than the Ferrari and 3 tenths faster than McLaren (give or take a few tenths for lack of running.)

I love this time of year. Staying up to watch the new cars go around for hours and everyone hopelessly trying to analyse everything from it

There is this years standings, can I go home now.

Deg for Jenson looks about 0.3 a lap here with the medium.

I wonder if Massa's recent stint was also on mediums then because he was losing 0.4 per lap.

Webber's degradation looks about 0.5 per lap.

Not sure, think Webber has been using those mediums for a while now.

 

[Forza Bianchi]

Let's see what Webber can do now, first lap 1:19.875

bang Jenson....

 

[RoadRunner]

And Silver's hopes of a fourth consecutive title went up in smoke...

 

[Delete Me]

New set of Mediums I reckon for Jenson.
