    Its only the first day of testing and we don't know the whole fuel loads, programmes, engine settings etc.

    Not too mention McLaren was the fastest car last year and Hamilton was sublime all season and that combo left him 90 points adrift of the championship.

    Bears pointing out that lots of people were impressed by the Force India at this stage last season as well.

    Np if nothing gets said I'll take it to Interpol and then we will see what happens if there are irregular bets going on for Jenson being on top today.

    I wasn't around for all of the testing was it driver error or was it a mechanical failure? (Rear suspension i presume)

    #F1 @f1silverarrow McLaren confirmed, Jenson used supersoft & hard in the afternoon. But the fastest laptime was set on the hard compound.

    So who is lying McLaren or Pirelli?

    I see you have your answer on twitter :)

    Rear suspension failure apperently, plus a bonus knock against a wall I think.

    Dude look how pissed off he is, mind my french.
    When he crashes or brakes down in races, his face is normally flushed and no sign of happiness there. But I shall leave that to Silver.

    Isn't lying about downforce looks confident in saying it as well, but it's obvious he is showing signs of anxiety and anger with today. Keeps looking to (his) Left, so is looking up actual memory. Looking to (their) right is imaginary etc...

    But I don't know if he is left or right handed because it could mean the other way round.

    I also noticed the same with Lewis to be honest, he was looking very worried before getting into the car but after his shakedown seemed to have settled pretty well and looked interested into getting stuck in.
