There was a guy who linked a race pace on Autosport which showed the Ferrari had bad deg control (at that point) but I'm not sure what tyre it was on. It's the 3:32pm to 3:50pm run he was highlighting
Horner now taking my advice and saying it's tyre related Tobias Grüner F1 ‏@tgruener #F1 Christian Horner on Vettels unscheduled stop that caused a red flag: "We had a small issue with a wheel". Probably not properly fixed.
Tobias Grüner F1 ‏@tgruener #F1 Best sector times Barcelona day 2: S1: 22.774s (Raikkonen) - S2: 30.774s (Vettel) - S3: 28.207s (Perez) - Combined: 1:21.755 Min.
Lewis talks to skysports: http://www1.skysports.com/formula1/video/12870/8512351 Body language worth noting: Showed a bit of anxiety with the other teams, probably feels the car will be behind the big 4 slightly. He also sniffs during the upgrade question which Slater puts forward which either means he (obviously) has a cold or it means he is displeased or disgusted about the development of these major upgrades in the next few GP's. He is also lying because he is looking to his top right which means he is imagining a situation rather than recalling it, he is also shaking his head in a no manner which means "there are no major upgrades coming in the next couple of races" and if he truely believed it he would be shaking his head in a yes manner, so in a way he is contradicting himself mentally by shaking his head in a no manner. please log in to view this image please log in to view this image Says to me that Mercedes have already shown their hand early and Lewis expects the gap to increase come Australia when a lot of new things come along for the big 4.

Lewis seemed happy about today and said Mercedes have made a step forward. And to say because he sniffed means he is unhappy about the development of upgrades has to be funniest thongs I have ever heard. He knows Mercedes aren't as fast as the top 4 teams but he knows the gap is closing.
Like I said last year I only do it for fun But some of my attempts on in last year have been pretty good. Not always bang on, but close enough to the mark for the majority of the time I do it.
Andrew Benson ‏@andrewbensonf1 Vettel: "It’s hard to read but I think we are there or thereabouts. It's difficult to compare because fuel and tyres make a big difference"
Few reliability issues for IRBR: The second day of testing at Barcelona’s Circuit de Catalunya was a mixed bag for Infiniti Red Bull Racing as Sebastian Vettel claimed P2 on the timesheet, but the team was forced to end its programme early when Sebastian had to stop on track late in the afternoon. “We had some issues with reliability today and we couldn’t do as many laps as we wanted, but I think it’s better that this kind of thing happens today rather than in Australia,” Sebastian said. “It was nothing disastrous, just small things that hampered us today. We stopped the car once as we saw a small loss of pressure. The second stop towards the end of the day caused a red flag and it simply took too much time to turn everything around, so we couldn’t get out again.” Race Engineering Co-ordinator Andy Damerum said: “The stops we had today weren’t too serious and we’ll have everything sorted for tomorrow. We know where the issues are. However, though we would obviously much rather have had a smooth run today we still accomplished a lot and even managed to slot in some more test items in the afternoon, which we put on the car at lunch time. So, while it wasn’t an ideal day, we did get through most of what we wanted to. Seb now makes way for Mark tomorrow.” Yesterday was a software issue, seems more of Infiniti's department the issues.
For the love of god please call them RBR!!! It's as bad as when Murray Walker started calling Ayrton Senna 'Aye-air-ton'.
But that's the correct name (Infiniti Red Bull Racing) lets be serious please or this forum would go to the dogs
