Amus: "Mercedes has in his few laps in the morning again tested a passive DRS. In addition, the area around the exhaust tips is now dressed in black. We assume that there is a hitzebeständigeres material. Do you remember the pictures of Jerez. Since around the exhaust everything was scorched."

 

Times set last year:
1. Sebastian Vettel, Red Bull, 1:23.265, 79 Laps
2. Nico Hulkenberg, Force India, 1:23.440, 97 Laps
3. Lewis Hamilton, McLaren, 1:23.590, 114 Laps
4. Daniel Ricciardo, Toro Rosso, 1:23.618, 76 Laps
5. Fernando Alonso, Ferrari, 1:24.100, 75 Laps
6. Michael Schumacher, Mercedes, 1:24.150, 51 Laps

Silver are you aware that you have nearly a third of all the posts in this thread?

 

Williams already within 1 sec of their best 2012 laptime and Mercedes within 0.5 sec of their 2012 best.

Encouraging start for both so early on day 1.

What is the expected improvement in laptimes by teams from their 2012 cars?

 

Like I said "gunning for fanboy of the year"

 

Don;t tell him that, he'll be gunning for 51% nowso he has a majority!!!

 

A lot of gunning going on..........

 

A second? If you take into account better tyres, no DRS over the whole track and over the season updates 1.0-1.3 depending who you are

 

Does that make me a super mod so I can buy out not606?

 

You've already got the "Taking everything way too seriously award"

 

If you knew my buddy iceman you would know I have to train like an athlete to win that award.

So now if the sauber has broken down that means the RB9 was the last car standing and not to have a problem? (so far)

 

BBC are that cheap they can't even do a text commentary for this? Will be interesting to see how quickly Alonso gets back up to speed in the new car

 

Sauber with DRD!

Nice solution if that's what it's for.

Sauber really showing some innovation on their car this year. Hope it pays off for them.
